Mako Surgical Corp. (MM) (MAKO) Quote

Happy to do it. Some day, we shareholders will get something good.

Edit: Though I did double up.

Thank you for your efforts.

I sold at the time as well, instead of waiting. Still, as we owned the stock during the window they discussed, I thought it at least remotely possible there might be something in it for us. Hence I read the crap they sent out and called.

Yea, that's the way I've always been told things go hence why I sell when a takeover price is announced.

Starbuxsux,

After 18 days of no response from the law firm, I called again yesterday. This time I did get an answer and, as I expected, only the attorneys get their fees. We shareholders get nothing monetary.

Ambulance chasers looking out only for themselves.

Steve

Will do so.

I appreciate it...keep us posted as it will be interesting research to keep in mind for potential future buyouts (i.e. FSYS, MNKD, OPK, ARO, TWX, LGF)

Thanks for the quick response.

I sold on the news as well. I saw little added gain in waiting and the added potential for the deal to fall thru.

I have a call in to the plaintiff's attorneys. I will post what I hear, if and when they call back. This seemed to be a logical starting place.

I have no idea...I sold after the acquisition news and never looked back...moved addresses since then as well.

Starbux,

So today (7/17/2014) I got a proposed class action settlement document. I assume you and other former MAKO holders got this as well.

Aside from all the legal gobbledygook, I see nothing going to former shareholders except the obligation not to sue again. It seems the ambulance chasers are applying to the court for attorneys fees of $450,000. So we get nothing and the ambulance chasers get something and Stryker gets off for a de minimus payment.

Do I interpret this correctly?

TIA

"The combination of Stryker's established industry leadership with MAKO's innovative products and people contains the power to positively transform orthopedics," said Maurice R.

Lobo, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The acquisition of MAKO combined with Stryker's strong history in joint reconstruction, capital equipment (operating room integration and surgical navigation) and surgical instruments will help further advance the growth of robotic assisted surgery. Our combined expertise offers the potential to simplify joint reconstruction procedures, reduce variability and enhance the surgeon and patient experience. We look forward to welcoming the MAKO team to Stryker."

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including MAKO stockholder approval.

In connection with this transaction, J.P. Morgan is acting as financial advisor and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Foley & Lardner LLP are acting as legal advisors to MAKO.

Yes that would of been smarter; my renovation is not going so well, money pit of mistakes. This is my 2nd renovation and again I am learning lessons I don't want to learn, ugh. Not fun.

Of course...priorities are always part of decision making when deciding if to investor not...if it were me I would have invested the renovations money and let MAKO gains pay for a new house lol

Yes I probably should; I am underway with some house renovations and don't have lots of spare change at the moment!

I would go out on a limb here (no pun intended)and say you should be buying as much as possible in the teens here to get your average down even further because $MAKO will once again reach the highs it once enjoyed and this time DESERVE TO BE THERE

Yes I like Mako too bad my cost basis is $22 and change- started at 36 and have averaged down over the past year! I am in this one for the long haul, I think! :^))

Thought we were on track to get that $18.00 today...$MAKO is on a great looking trajectory...those not getting shares in the teens are just plain stupid.
