A Better Mousetrap For The Legs?
Peripheral vascular treatment is still a high-growth market, as clinicians have an increasing array of effective tools at hand to treat blockages in the arteries of the legs ��blockages that can lead to falls and amputations if not treated. Major coronary stent players like Abbott, Medtronic (NYSE:MDT), and Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) also develop stents for the peripheral vasculature (where they also compete with the likes of Covidien (NYSE:COV), Bard (NYSE:BCR), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), and Cook), but stents have long been problematic in these narrower, twisting vessels, and stents have to compete with various arthrectomy devices sold by companies including Covidien, Cardiovascular Systems (Nasdaq:CSII), and Spectranetics (Nasdaq:SPNC).

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Maxfield]
In response, I would say: Consider the source. Stockbrokers like Schwab, Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) , E*TRADE� (NASDAQ: ETFC ) , and to a lesser extent, Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC ) Merrill Lynch make money on trading commissions. And as day traders, their bread and butter customers, come to terms with their complete competitive disadvantage, they will presumably trade less.

Sure, the S&P 500 fell just 0.5% this week after rallying 0.5% to 1,857.62 on Friday, but that was despite big drops in� Netflix (NFLX), which plunged 12% this week, Facebook (FB) which fell 11%, E*Trade Financial (ETFC), which declined 9.1%, and Biogen Idec (BIIB), which dropped 7.7%.
