Globus: Did David Slay Goliath? Or Did He Get Something He Never Wished For?

The sky lit up in Audubon, PA this weekend.  One could smell the thrill of victory and not the agony of defeat.  Yes fellow bloggers, Glo-bus finally went public. Maybe just maybe, once and for all, we have heard the last of our obnoxious blogger, whom we have taken an affinity too, asking our readers the proverbial question, "when will Glo-bus go public?" In retrospect it will be interesting to assess how many shares were really sold, and whether or not the Dr. Famous' of this world who invested in this company will keep on giving the gift of giving by using Glo-bus products? Whoever said there wasn't any monetary incentive in using a specific companies product if there wasn't a potential payout in the end?

It has been a long and arduous journey for David Paul. A trek that spans many continents, the travails of leaving the company that you thought once loved you under the harshest of all circumstances, a rift amongst family members, being sued, and sued, and sued, and sued, and finally arriving at that magical moment when the stars all do align themselves for that one bright shining moment. So everybody have fun tonight, everybody Wang Chung tonight. With all that capital, who knows, maybe Globus will settle with the many plaintiffs that have filed suit against the Glo-bus for allegedly violating their patents, and move on. That would be wishful thinking. Maybe David Paul will now acquire another assistant to assist his trust worthy aide, Tatoo, or maybe he will really shock us at this years NASS meeting and arrive with pomp and circumstance, that would be pretty funny. Could a Jenna Jameson spokes model be in the picture? TSB could see the new Glo-bus booth, make no mistake.  A shining new sign will be up declaring that GMED is now a member of the NYSE. Maybe those that did not believe that this day would happen will be invited into the booth for some Naan, Roti, Tandoori Lamb Chops and Palak Chaat, one of TSB's all time favorites.  Who knows maybe David will hire TSB to cook for him? What a better way to get to know the man, the legend, the genius as his caddie McAfee calls him. Maybe McAfee will finally become his concubine? For one thing, TSB is relieved that everyone will no longer have to listen to McAfee embarrass himself at the podium declaring that "David Paul is a genius."

In closing, it was a fun weekend for those of us who had any stock or acquired some stock in the new kid on the block. But the mystery question is, will the Glo-bus be able to sustain success or will they just become another me too company? With 12-20 new products on the horizon, depending on whose propaganda you believe, poor David must not have any time to enjoy the fruit of his success. Who knows? Was he burning the midnight oil? Probably not.  In the end, after all the pomp and circumstance dies down and David takes the time to reflect on his success there will be that moment of clarity when he realizes that after all is said and done, he has become everything that he once detested about his former employer Synthes. Don't believe it?  Just ask Lukianov. Congratulations to all our friends at Globus, we'll be looking to stop by the booth at NASS to interview you.  As Bogie once said, "Here's looking at you kid!"
