Last month, beregra touched on the demographic supertrend working in Zimmer's favor: "With aging population, this orthopedic replacement company is positioned in the right spot. Good growth."

In a more recent pitch from last week, kayakingkarl agrees, breaking down a possible (and attractive) risk/reward scenario for our community:

"Outstanding balance sheet. Seriously oversold. This is one of the babies that was thrown out with the bathwater. 20% Downside possible in near future with 180% upside within the next 3 years. I am buying this one. The time is right."
