I can't see anything in Medtronic except sideways growth (?) - Our Club bought it last year, in Feb. and May - we finally sold in May '06 = in that time frame, the price dropped $53.57 to $48.12 where we sold. We received a whopping $7.48 in dividends. Obviously, we sustained a loss and it was time to cut and run. It seems to be a well managed company with substantial debt, but definitely was not the money maker we had anticipated. We can't remain solvent as a club with those losses. Today, MDT is priced at $48.33. I am glad we took our loss and put the capital to work in more lucrative fields.

| Stock was up $4.60 today on good news. Seems that the company is starting to show signs of increased market share taken from its competitors. |

If you liked it in Feb at $53.57, why did you not like it at $48.12 in May when the club could have bought more?
Just wondering.
