The Evolution Of TransEnterix
I’ve been slowly building a long position in TransEnterix (TRXC) since Summer 2013 when it was SafeStitch Medical (SFES) trading at $0.50 in OTC penny land. I stumbled upon SFES after researching Dr. Phil Frost of Opko Health and his individual stock holdings. It’s not everyday you see a successful billionaire continuously purchasing penny stocks […]

So, Bill Ackman Makes Some Good Points On The Index Bubble…
He’s often controversial… and usually pretty brash. But Pershing Square’s Bill Ackman is also usually quite insightful. He’s been at this game a long time, and he’s had his share of big wins… and big losses. Ackman has an ego on him. (What hedge fund manager doesn’t?) But he’s also his own biggest critics, and like all good […]
