Confident Investor Rating Poor

The following company description is from Google Finance: http://www.google.com/finance?q=mako

MAKO Surgical Corp. (MAKO) is a medical device company that markets its advanced robotic arm solution and orthopedic implants for minimally invasive orthopedic knee procedures. The Company offers MAKOplasty, a restorative surgical solution that enables orthopedic surgeons to treat patient-specific, early to mid-stage osteoarthritic knee disease. MAKOplasty is performed using the Company’s RIO Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic system (RIO), and its RESTORIS unicompartmental and RESTORIS MCK multi-compartmental knee implant systems. The RIO utilizes tactile guided robotic arm technology and patient-specific visualization to prepare the knee joint for the insertion and alignment of the Company’s resurfacing implants through a small incision in a minimally invasive, bone preserving and tissue sparing procedure. The Company’s RESTORIS family of knee implants is designed to enable minimally invasive restoration of one or two of the diseased compartments of the knee joint.

Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock. It is not possible to confidently invest in a company that is not currently profitable.
