Buy MAKO Surgical

What is MAKO Surgical?

The MAKO Surgical robotic arm provides an innovative orthopedic knee repair procedure.  The surgery has proved to be wildly successful and is already being adopted at a fast pace.  Anyone who suffers from osteoarthritis of the knee should seriously consider undergoing a MAKO Surgical procedure.

Price Jump

Shares of MAKO Surgical jumped over 10% today on news that 11 more MAKOplasty centers (MAKO Surgical robot centers) will open during 2011.  For more information on the price jump, click this link.

Room to Grow


Patents mean profits baby!  MAKO Surgical has the patent on its robotic arm, so it has the ability to charge high premiums due to a lack of competition.  There are more than 15 million people in the United States alone who suffer from osteoarthritis of the knee.  Right now, MAKO performs knee surgeries on less than 1% of of the applicable population in the U.S.  This represents a very large untapped market-share.

MAKO's robotic arms are being adopted at a very fast pace, and I fully expect this aggressive growth to continue.  Time to get on the bandwagon now before its too late!

LULU Athletica Update. Shares up 8%

Previous Recommendation

LULU Athletica was previously recommended by Caligiuri Investments on December 9th, 2010.  Since then, the share price has increased from $63.56 to a share price of $85.31.  This is an increase of 34%.  If you would like to read the previous recommendation, please click here.

Still a Good Buy


Despite the 8% jump today, I still feel that LULU is a good buy.  Investors Business Daily's (IBD) analysis of the share price jump is below:

"Lululemon Athletica (LULU) leapt 9% and cleared a 85.38 buy point in a base-on-base pattern. There's no specific company news, but the stock has already traded nearly double its average daily volume. The yoga apparel and accessories retailer remains one of the market's leaders, with earnings growth of 60% to 200% the past four quarters."
__


Basically, investor confidence in LULU Athletica is increasing.  As the company expands its operations, consumers are beginning to understand the powerful appeal of LULU products.  I fully expect this consumer confidence to continue increasing, which in turn will lead to more profits for investors.

IMAX up 12%. Buy

12% Jump

Shares of IMAX rose over 12% today when the company announced it would be opening 75 new IMAX theaters in China.  Investors and analysts feel that China represents an exciting new customer base that will increase IMAX earnings.  Although I do agree with this assessment, I believe that this strategic expansion move should have resulted in a higher share-price jump.  So, I am very bullish on IMAX.

What is IMAX?

An IMAX theater provides film viewers with the best possible experience, hands down.  The big screen, great quality, and an unbelievable sound system make viewers feel like they are actually in the film.  In turn, people are willing to pay more to watch movies in an IMAX theater.  These higher prices leads to big time profits.

IMAX makes its money by leasing its theaters out to third parties and by taking a very handsome cut of the theaters' revenue.  All in all, IMAX's business operations have led to operating and profit margins of over 20% and 40%, respectively (these are really high margins!).  In addition to profitability, IMAX's revenue and earnings are growing at very fast paces.  This combination of product quality, growth, and profitability should lead to great returns for investors.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) up 30%. Buy More

Previous Recommendation:


Caligiuri Investments recommended GMCR three months ago on December 10th, 2010.  Since then, the share price has increased from $33.81 to $59.99; this is an increase of 77.43% over a three month period.  If you have not viewed the previous recommendation, please click here


Share Price Increases Over 30% Today:


According to the New York Times:


"Green Mountain Coffee Roasters shares sailed out of the ballpark Thursday with a deal to sell Starbucks brand coffee and Tazo teas for its single-coffee Kuerig coffee machines starting later this year."


So what does this mean?  GMCR made this move to increase its revenue and overall profit by offering Starbucks coffee and Tazo tea to its customers.  I think will prove to be a very good strategic move for GMCR and expect the share price to increase substantially further in the future. 


Buy More: 


Most Investors would be scared to buy more GMCR stock after this 37% increase.  Not Caligiuri Investments.  I recommend for people to buy more stock in this company.  When a share price increases as much as GMCR's did today it usually means one of two things: 1) The share price increased too much and the stock is overvalued or 2) The share price did not increase enough and there is still plenty of room for the stock to run.  I think number two is the truth, buy more.
