Jack,

I suspect that investors are sour on the industry. VV tells me that 
Healthcare (Instruments) (which is where it puts CNTL) is #164 out of 
202 industries. IBD industry rankings should confirm that. The VV chart 
for the industry is pretty gruesome -- dropped like a stone last week -- 
dunno why. Looks like a good stock to keep in mind for when the industry 
picks up, and when we can start looking for a good entry point.
