Most people think about investment as a risky venture, but it is not always so. There is the industry that is not effected by a recent market downturn and economic slowdown, it’s a biotech industry. The trend of increased healthcare spending and technology advancements, and the unmet medical needs for cures and treatments will continue to provide the biotech sector with growth and advancements, as well as lucrative investment opportunities. Take Intuitive Surgical (ISRG - NASDAQ), for example. This company makes the robotic da Vinci surgical systems for use in urologic, cardiothoracic, gynecologic, and general surgeries.
Sales at ISRG have exploded from $26 million in 2008 to over $524 million today. In fact, the stock is up 5,400% since the start of 2008! And with Baby Boomers getting surgeries in record numbers, medical device companies like Intuitive Surgical are going to continue profiting accordingly.
