I bought a few shares in "one of them" when I had a half dozen friends call me a year ago asking advice about their own possible sleep apnea problems. Seemed like a trend to me!

Holy crap...I just checked them out on MSN...but with a 400% return in the last 5 years is it too late to get in?

Keep in mind that the generally accepted estimate of apnea patients is 18 million in the US alone; conservative estimates say 12 million. Unfortunately the trend toward obesity will probably increase this number of patients in the coming decades.

Of those patients, estimates vary that only 10-15% have been diagnosed. That's a lot of CPAPs, bi-PAPs, APAPs and masks still to be sold in coming years.

Of course I thought that the aging population would keep the prices of drug stocks up, too, but lately that has not been the case...
