Stockchase Opinions

Jean-Francois Tardif Syneron Medical Ltd. ELOS-Q WATCH May 01, 2006

Still likes it, but there are some worrisome things. Have lost some top level management. The earnings are growing, have a great balance sheet and lots of cash. Waiting to see what the next quarter brings. Trading around 10 X earnings which is not expensive.
$26.160
