When it comes to making investments, I’m no Warren Buffet.<\/p>\n

However, every once in-a-while, I come across a company that is uniquely positioned within a growing industry. Such is the case of… Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW). As you may know, Edwards Lifesciences, founded in 1958, is the leading heart valve replacement manufacturer<\/a> on the planet.<\/p>\n

I originally became familiar with Edwards Lifesciences as I prepared for my own heart valve replacement surgery. However, I really became interested in Edwards’ product and financial strengths during the research for my book.<\/p>\n

In 2007, I was lucky to tour Edwards headquarters, to walk through its heart valve museum\u00a0and to visit its manufacturing center in Irvine, California. During that visit, I learned more about the history of the company<\/a>, its unique product portfolio\u00a0and its ongoing dedication to\u00a0patients requiring heart valve surgery.<\/p>\n

Edwards commitment to the heart valve market is proving valuable to its shareholders. I just learned that\u00a0the company’s shares touched $68.23 last week. That is a 52-week high for the Edwards. (You might recall that I have highlighted the company’s financial performance on a few occasions. Since my first blog, the stock has increased $14 per share, a 26% increase.)<\/p>\n

Again, I’m no Warren Buffet… This is simply a very good company that is making a difference in the lives of people with heart valve disease.<\/p>\n

Keep on tickin!
