Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX), up 23.4%
Medical-device maker Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX) had two favorable pieces of news during the month. First, it announced data that supported the conclusion that its Watchman device did a better job of preventing conditions like strokes and cardiovascular death than the typical treatment, warfarin. Then about a week later, Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX) revealed that it had found its first patient in its study of its WallFlex Biliary RX self-expanding metal stent. Despite facing big competition and the headwind of Obamacare’s medical device excise tax, Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX)’s advances are good news for investors.

Can these stocks keep climbing?
Many investors think that the stock market is starting to look expensive, and in an overall decline, all of these stocks might give back some of the ground they’ve gained. But given the promise of Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX) and Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU), cheaper share prices would make them only look more attractive as long-term plays on their overall success.
