Stratasys has an ad on page B 9 of today's WSJ. An alert reader of TMP suggests we should consider the rise of robots and how it will affect employment. Well here is an inspiring story.
Megan Lavelle is benefitting from a STratasys 3 D printer. Exo skeletons have been developed for older six year old kids but Megan was just two. Teh solution was to scale down the design using ligher weightplastic.
Now for the first time megan can feed herself and hug her Mom like any nromal two year old.
Amazing.
The bad news is that we are way late to the party on this one. SSYS now trades at a 105 P/E. Peter Lynch who ran Fidelity Magellan back in the 1970s used to remark that one person in an industry would be on to a new technoology a year before Peter might find it. As one can see from the graph, a year ago was the time to buy. This may be a google and go to 400, I have no idea.
