Anyone here buy Inamed Stock?

[Kimber-lilly 2]

It's about 50 bucks a share. I am thinking about buying some...

Anyone?

Yes I bought some when it was 52$ a share but as the band becomes more popular and more insurance companies start covering it I think it will be a wise investment.

[Kimber-lilly 2]

That's exactly what I was thinking! I just today am emailing my broker--he handles my son's college fund--he is very interested in this!

[New Hope 37]

Wow, never even thought about it! Sounds like a wise investment!

I'm poor. lol, but I've recommended it to many folks that I know who have stock portfolios.

Just so you know. Johnson and Johnson currently has a band in clinical trials, also. (I expect my cut from the profits. lol)

Johnson and Johnson also purchased the Swedish band. Is this the band that is currently in clinical trials? I heard that the Swedish band was supposed to be FDA approved in December.

Really Maybe I will try my hand in investing... That's sounds like a deal.

I didn't get buy Inamed because when I was in the mood to buy, they had just gotten approved for implants and I really hate the whole "get implants" message, so I didn't go that way. (I'm from the militant nursing mom segment of society and think that balloon tits look ridiculous.)

But I bought JNJ, against the advice of my friend who really does do well in the market (He reitred at age 41.) But when I explained that they were in clinical trials with the Swedish band, he was not impressed. But he's not obese. I'm probably wrong, but my thinking was that JNJ had a lot more money in its advertising budget than Inamed...and that we may be seeing those commercials failry soon. Interestingly enough, the JNJ has held its own and made a couple of bucks. The Inamed is doing well now, but those who bought when it was closer to 70 probably wouldn't agree.

Hey Sue

We talked about JNJ stock about 5 months ago and I bought some shares at 50. in April, now its at 57. Slow and steady. Thanks for the tip.

I have the JNJ (Swedish) band and am very happy with my progress so far.
