Inside scoop is Said is getting ready to sell. Look at all the real estate he's unloading, the lack of R&D, the drop in focus on sales, and the "i could care less" attitudes of senior management. The nimrods like DG, JD, GJ, etc have completely lost focus and are just buying their time until they can ride their golden parachutes into the sunset. I recently just left for Medtronic and can tell you Applied Medical is sinking faster than the Titanic and would tell anyone looking here to run in the opposite direction as fast as you can. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a mass layoff in the coming year or 2 because Applied has been losing sales revenue at an exhorbitant rate. Throw in the lack of conversions from the products that were supposed to be their saving grace, and one can clearly see that hail mary pass fell about 20 yds short of the endzone.
