Mako Surgical Corp. (MM) (MAKO) News

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

We look forward to welcoming the MAKO team to Stryker."

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.
