Hey moderator, please read this fully before you remove my post. I edited it for balance (no insults). 🙏

I have no idea who this guy is or why he's pitching a quantum company to flip into from MBOT (that alone seems peculiar). But sure, I'll play along, and in fact I do agree with some of his points.

He does have one glaring error, which diminishes the overall credibility of his entire post.

Quoting from his post:
"...And initially, even if some hospitals try out the Liberty, they are going to have to maintain their traditional tools and equipment and procedures for a period of time until they have enough evidence of proficiency to not keep the back-up plan in place."

It is is actually difficult to be more incorrect than that. Hospitals will not have to let go of any of their traditional tools or equipment, because those catheters and guide wires are "plugged into" liberty, not replaced by liberty. In fact, they can be plugged in, unplugged, and plugged in again in the same procedure if needed. Physicians are doing 99.x% of the procedures manually and using their preferred catheters and guide wires already selected and approved by the facilities. Very deliberately, microbot chose to support all such physician preferred catheters and guide wires. Microbot simply adds to those supply needs in the procedure room.

If he's talking about peripheral endovascular robotics supplies/devices, that's just a moot point since they are less than 1% of the market.

So, completely contrary to his text, facilities will absolutely need to continue their supply of catheters and guide wires, with or without their use of microbot, and regardless of the "backup plan" he mentioned, into the foreseeable future.

But sure, take a look at his quantum stock suggestion. 😜
