"The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets." - Nathan Rothschild

Global markets are falling due to fears of slowing US growth. This may effect the value of companies that sell discretionary products. BTM/MTX would do very well in an economically sensitive environment because it reduces the episodic cost of care. Hospitals and physician offices will have to scrutinize their purchases and chose products to reduce expenses. PNV has the ability to increase prices and still remain the best choice, both clinically and fiscally. The strengthening US dollar increases profit margins. Potential Mideast conflict increases demand. The SP is down because indexes are being sold and leveraged holders need to sell. This is a great long term buying opportunity, IMHO.
