First up let me qualify myself here, I was in Heartware nearly from day one and sold out over a year ago when it first hit around the A$2.50 mark. I watch this stock for old time sake and keep an eye on it just in case it becomes a buying opportunity again.


chrisnj "pc_75au you mentioned clotting issues, with heartwares product it's not an issue or at the most a minor one which is evidenced by the success they are enjoying."

Clotting *IS* an issue and if you go back over the announcements you will see they modified the finish on the pumps (again) to try and get around this problem. It was just before this that Appletree started selling out as well. Now I may be a nervous Nelly here but the alarm bells are ringing at my end.

On the face of it the HVAD is the best thing since sliced bread so why hasn't it taken off? Why did Appletree dump stock so close to the end? There are a lot of unanswered questions here.

Please do your own research and watch everything very carefully.
