<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3548058"]Some points of consideration:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) NuVasive, contrary to what many may say, is a one trick pony. Sure they have a fairly full bag, but none of its really whiz bang. And some of it is a down right turd. XLIF is their main claim to fame. They are currently the darlings of Wallstreet right now as well, but WS is finnicky and could turn on them quicker than you can say "in the red". Hopefully they can cool the cash spending, and accomplish their Oklahoma style Market Grab before its too late.</p><p><br /></p><p>2). That being said, they have enough in their bag that if you have some kick tail relationships it could be a very good move for you. With the lack of recent innovation in this market, as long as you have strong (and I mean strong) relationships with your surgeons then the move will work well. But only if you can get your surgeons to start using NuVasive. Consider what your surgeons and those in your area are focusing on, and see if this matches up with what NuVasive offers. 2 years is not a lot of time to gain real solid relationships for most, but maybe fortune has been kind to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Consider the NuVasive strategy. Your part of the land grab. The more reps they can convert from Medtronic, Synthes, Stryker, and other major players the quicker they get to the finish line. Do they have your long term interersts at heart? Only you can decide that.</p><p><br /></p><p>4) Medtronic, although a slow moving ship and a bit behind the curve right now, is still the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Sure they aren't growing 35% a quarter, but thats because they own a majority share in the market. They are certainly losing share, but not at an alarming rate (at least yet). If they are smart, they have some things in the works.</p><p><br /></p><p>5) Personally, if you are putting up decent numbers I would suggest staying where you are a few more years, get more bullet points on your resume (you can't go wrong with having Medtronic on there), and have patience. If your in your 20's you have plenty of time. Patience grasshopper.</p><p><br /></p><p>6) Take everything I say with a grain of salt. You know your situation better than anyone. Seek many opinions, hopefully more of them not coming from an anonymous website. Put them all in the pot, stir it around, look at what you have left and make a decision.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
