ABMD is a company I want to invest in, but I can’t justify the price. It is trading at 24x sales, and over 100x FCF! Bubble territory? How are those invested in ABMD comfortable with the price? ---

_How are those invested in ABMD comfortable with the price?_ My CAGR on ABMD is running 196%; it’s my largest holding at 15%. Hasn’t been too hard yet. 🙂 Dan long ABMD and yes, I agree it is expensive. I would NOT buy it now, but I’m not ready to sell either.
