Is anyone into Zi Medical like me ? Gone up a penny today to 7.6p on strength of Sunday Telegraph article - it's looking better, at long last !

been wiating for this for about 3 months...good order book apparently, but bought in at about 7.5 and saw a steady decline to about 4.5 until the last few days...according to the Telegraph could be more in the pipeline so sit tight and may even take a profit soon...

Buckets, Thanks for the info. on the D. Telegragh article (missed it on Sunday)
I got in a year ago at 3.5p and then again a few months ago at 5.75p.. so at long last it'd coming good.. I reckon current price could double over next 3 months or so.
A year ago Shares Mag. highlighted this as a sell when it about 2.5p. It then promptly went up to 4.5p. However. I wouldn't mind betting that over the coming weeks they flag it as a buy. (hopefully it won't go down!)Good luck ! :)

23% up this morning does anyone know why?

I found this on the FT website

Zi Medical Is Dripping with Promise; Partnership Planned with Baxter Health
BY GEOFF FOSTER
No publication details available;



My tip for 2004 is Aim-listed ZI Medical, at 93euro4 pence. It has successfully marketed an intravenous drip monitor called Red-Eye and is to launch it in partnership with Baxter Healthcare.The device has undergone hospital trials and is hoped to earn UKpound 1 million annual sales by 2005.

ZI has an extensive range of fluid delivery products. It is confident of making profits on a monthly basis in the first quarter of 2004.

Founder and chief executive George Gallaher recently bought 30,000 shares at 65euro8 pence. A strong management team includes Dr Robert Nolan, a former director of AstraZeneca. Several major companies are exploring partnerships with ZI to distribute its products globally.

Hi laurencecope,

Many thanks for this.. I was wondering why the share price was increasing nicely this morning.. Do you hold ZIM shares also?
I bought 2 lots. One lot @ 3p a year ago and another lot @ 5.5p 6 months ago.

I'll keep these for tiime being looks as though there's more good news and upward momentum in share price to come....

Good start to the New Year.. Cheers !

Skyhigh

Yes, I bought @6 3 months ago.

I shall also hang on to these for the time being.

Regards
Laurence

These were tipped to me on friday by a friend in the industry who could tell me little as to why. I looked at the fundamentals and struggled to make a case for them so decided not to buy - imagine my horror at seeing them up 30% this morning. I think there was also a tip for them in the mail at the weekend which may have helped the price - good luck to all holders.

Edit - Geoof Foster of the mail tipped it as his share for the year ahead.

Followed SimonCakwell into these months back. Tip now starting to bring home the bacon, jock.

UK Product Launch with Baxter Healthcare and

Discussions with Other Medical Device Companies

Zi Medical, the AIM quoted medical devices company, announced today that Baxter Healthcare Corporation ("Baxter") had officially launched the Red-Eye infusion monitor to the UK hospital market. The success of extensive field trials of the product in five major UK hospitals has led to this week's full roll-out to Baxter's UK sales force.

The Company further announces that it is in discussions with two other medical devices companies for the potential exploitation of its medication delivery system.

Michael Fort, Chairman, commented

"The development work carried out during the course of the last 12 months is beginning to bear fruit and Zi Medical has been in discussions with a number of businesses. We are pleased to be able to announce that Zi Medical has signed heads of terms with a large international company for the exclusive rights to a key product in our pipeline and we are confident that this will lead to a firm contract to commercially exploit the product later in the year."

Zi Medical signed an exclusive, global distribution agreement with Baxter in June 2003 for Red-Eye and the product launch in the UK is the companys first step in its strategy to launch a portfolio of innovative and technically superior products to the global healthcare market. Its strategy is to co-develop products in partnership with major medical devices companies who are well placed to achieve rapid penetration of the specialist medical devices market through their well established sales and marketing resources.

Michael Fort commented

"We are delighted to announce the launch of Red-Eye in the UK, the companys first major product to be exploited by a major device company. We are particularly pleased to be partnering a company of the calibre of Baxter whose sales presence in the global market is second to none. Both companies have put a serious effort into ensuring the marketing, training and support offered to customers with Red-Eye is first rate. Although it is too early to say what the financial impact of launch will be on the companys results, we are extremely optimistic that this will be a major contributor to the companys future profitability. In the meantime we will continue to work closely with Baxter to ensure the successful introduction of the product into the UK market."

Note to Editors

Red-Eye is an innovative patient monitoring device for the gravity-driven delivery of intravenous solutions. It monitors the safe delivery of intravenous solutions, and can equally be used for administering saline, pharmaceutical products and blood. Red-Eye works by setting off an alarm to alert nursing staff if the flow rate of intravenous fluids fluctuates beyond a predetermined range, thereby permitting staff to carry on other nursing duties. The device can be upgraded with a variety of features such as an illuminated alarm for night use or GSM capability to allow for home care patient monitoring.

Hi Lauren,
Thanks for this... looks good and price up a further 2.5p this morning..more to come over the next few weeks/months.. so I'm holding on to my holding of 20k shares for the time being (5k bought at 3.5p & 15k x 5.75p).. not bad going! long may it continue.. :)

Still doing well.. up another 2p today ! Plenty more upside to come thru. Going to keep running.. still lots more good news to come over the coming months on this one..:-)

Now up 3p. Agree that the upside could be very good. Mkt cap still small against potential.

Still going up ! another 2.25p this morning.... not complaining.. but how much more upside is there going to be ? :)

10% rise again today,.
What is everyone elses opinion of how far this is going in the next few weeks.

skyhigh/laurencecope....In at 14 out at 20.5...remembering that old saying that no one ever made a loss taking profit..think the announcement of baxters and talking to others is now built into the SP...
Gem of a company but think it needs to pause for breath..
Good luck to those holding....class product/ distributer..could hit a 1 year end
C

Current upside target is 41p.
No sign of any trend reversal at the moment.
I'm in until it falters.

Densil,
I'm with you as I'm also in until it falters..Is the Current 41p upside target your target ? If not, where did it come from ? I got in at 3p & 6.5p so sitting nicely at the moment but would like to get out at the top. (where ever that is !)

Why look to get out at 41p. Further news is expected any moment. Upside over next 2 - 3 years could be well over a 1.

Still good time to buy if not in already.

Tech,
Agree with the 2/3 yr target >>> 1+
Do you know what the further news will be about ? and when ? are we talking this / next week ?
Cheers!...:)

To me the main points are that it says it is a global distribution agreement. Also the other products will be commercially exploited later in the year.

What a ride 24% up today

Nice bit about company from April 2002. Looks like things said at time were correct. Looking forward to further good news.

Red-Eye is the brainchild of inventor George Gallagher, founder of Zimed and now technical officer of the enlarged group. It uses fibre optics to monitor the dosage of fluids delivered to patients through intravenous drips - but without the lines having to be constantly checked by nursing staff. For hospitals, it saves valuable nursing time, works as an early warning system, and can prove itself to be more cost effective than traditional methods. For Zimedical it could be a very profitable opportunity.

The device has been designed from the bottom up, by talking with the nurses who monitor the patient's drip every-twenty minutes on a daily basis. The result is a product which it claims to have both nurses' and patients' needs in mind. Already approved as a class I medical device, all that remains is for the company to go out and sell it.

As yet, however, the marketing and sales force behind the product has been minimal. Gallagher has been operating as a one-man salesman in addition to his other management roles at the company. Even so, the product has been trialled in 59 hospitals - and 29 have gone on to purchase an average of just over 5 Red-Eye systems each. The others are still continuing trials. To date some 220 units have been sold. Sales for the 9 months to December 2001 amounted to 21,000.

An experienced sales force is now being put in place. The company is now raising 717,280 through a placing and open offer of new shares. The money is being used to hire a team of 12 full-time employees to build a national sales force. According to chairman Michael Fort, the contribution that the new team will make to sales should mean that the cash raised will be enough to see the group past break-even in around 15 months time.

There should also be funds available to speed other similar products down the pipeline. These include a catheter-monitoring product, a networked monitoring device and a fluid recognition product. The most fully developed, the Red Eye III catheter monitor, is expected to reach the market in just over 12 months.

Zi Medical plc (the 'Company')

Proposed equity issue

Zi Medical plc, the specialist developer of innovative medical device
technologies with an emphasis on drug infusion therapy, announced today that the
Board is considering a further equity issue to strengthen the Company's balance
sheet, provide additional working capital to support the increase in turnover
expected following the launch of the Company's RedEye infusion device and to
support the Company's development of new products.

Whilst the Board is encouraged by the support for the Company's shares shown by
the Stock Market in recent days it is anticipated that if the proposed equity
issue proceeds it will be at a price lower than the current price quoted in the
market.

Executive Chairman, Michael Fort said:

'We are encouraged to see that the achievements of the Company have been
received with such great enthusiasm by investors. With the commercial launch of
the RedEye product, in partnership with Baxter Healthcare, we believe that the
Company has reached a stage in its commercial development where it would be
appropriate to seek further funding to facilitate the Company's future growth.'

I'd say time get out and take profit. Get back in later when we know what the issue price will be.

THEY WENT FROM 15% UP TO 24% DOWN TODAY NOW MAY BE A GOOD TIME TO GET IN 19.5P/22P SPREAD RATHER LARGE PUTS ME OFF THOUGH

Before buying read the following statement - i have been watching these but this has deterred me in the short term:

true but the price that day i think was around 25/26p dipped my toes in today just 1 thousand at 17.5p I think it should go on to test 30p plus from here i did not expect to get the chance to buy in under 19p this to me is now a no brainer
IMHO

Discusting - i didn't get offered any at 12p!

This share up 10.8% friday and strong buying after the bell 125k. Profit takers have sold yet the price has risen - Maybe a big order to fill from one of the institutions. Denzil where did you get the upside target of 41p from and is that target a possibility short term or will we have to wait 1-2 years. Good luck looking forward to Monday.

robstuff. You and the rest of the stockholders WERE NOT OFFERED ANY @ 12P, at least MOST of the stockholders. Has there been any explanation from the company as to why there was not a simple rights issue and why the arbitary figure of 12p was arrived at when,patently, a far higherfigure COULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED.

Can someone advise me as to why City Equities buy shares in this company and then sell them off - Is it significant that when they announce that they have sold them off the price decreases significantly. Have they taken all the profit out of this companies share value and offloaded their shares onto so called 'CLIENTS'. Informed opinions welcome.

Should have been a rights, it would still have knocked the price but everyone would be an equal s/holder, instead there's instant profit for a few at the cost of others, Damaging! Probably unable to get a rights underwritten, all in all the signs are not good and I have sold.

Lets set the past to one side. The 'tree' has been duly shaken and all the loose holders, such as Robstuff, have left the scene. But, of course, all that is 'financial' stuff. The company actually make a living from selling its products and they seem to be doing quite well. There are STILL the age old rumors of an offer for the company and (since I was in them @4p - out at 24p and back in @15p) I think I will let this one ride until the next'awakening'

agree hilldee .. we have not any news from ZIM since the placing ( to my knowledge) if we check on the last set of reports it was mentioned that they were in advanced stages of new contracts etc..i vll try to find this..so it is the case of being patient with this .. if anything consider topping up ..do expect this to go upwards from here on in..

good luck .. i hold some

Hilldee ..things are looking brighter ..was up 2.75 at one stage earlier ..but that was due to outrages spread by mm's 16-19 ..anyway ..now it is becoming more realistic currently showing 16-17.5 .. but lets hope we get the some news on this sooner rather then later.. which i believe is the reason for about turn today ..it vll be interesting to see how this finishes today.. no doubt the mm's always get to know things in advance ..so well have to see the day out b4 reading too much into todays rise

offer is 20p ...something is brewing

here's the current 5 day chart ..either they are tipped in the weekend .. or news of the some deals in the offing .. this is only my interpretation of the current upward movement

Kantona, I agree with you something is about to happen, maybe the contract announcements that investors have been waiting for, but can you explain what type of buys can be made after the bell and to the extent that they have bought.
425,000 shares purchased after 16.30hrs the majority of the deals at a premium price. I wonder what Monday will bring - its got to be a blue day again Good luck :-)

Rather be a loose holder than a loser thanks hilldee..whoops down again.:)

As I was the one to start this thread-I might as well put my 2 pence worth in !
It did fly ! but I don't think the SM thought it would be so soon ? Went up to 32p + shortly after. (wish I sold back then but didn't)
The small cap mkt overall is taking a battering at the moment and Zi Med is being impacted as well. should turn around once sentiment improves and buyers return.
Also, Zi Med & mms have been cautious not over play expectations.
Once we start to see a string of good news releases ie contracts, expected sales & revenues etc., the price will resume it's upward momentum.
I, for one, would continue to top up at these levels, if I had the spare dosh.

has anyone got the date of the sunday mali tip on zim and the article thanks.

Probably an MM signal for people to be able to sell at this level before they take the price down even lower ? :( ... I hope not :)

Drinkgood must have been lost for words, speachless even !

Anyway, I wonder if we'll see blue as we head towards the end of this week.
Just a hunch, I think we'll start to see the price head north gradually and good news will be released in the next month or two. Will need to be patient. All last year the price did nothing, then exploded in Jan. I think the same sort of thing will happen again (IMHO, DOYR) ... good luck all :)

have been away and NEVER use my PC whilst I am relaxing - as I have discovered, its all too stimulating. Cant quite find WHY the drop in ZI and I have to agree with O,Neill that it will be surprising if they reach the levels so far attained this year - but that doesnt mean that there wont be the potential for some profit. How many of you could actually have achieved the sale prices of 25p and how many other stupid b.....s actually PAID these prices. Is anyone in touch with reality out there? If you are prepared to pay 27p for a share that was 4p two weeks before, without any HARD news, then go tothe back of the class.

oneill
have you ever heard of 'shaking the tree'? This one does have the potential, if it keeps its head. It really is what another is prepared to pay for the company and - in five years time - that, might, be 25p. There have been rumors that there is a company out there interested but that the largest holder wants MORE (and who can blame him if its all going to plan, why have somebody else pick up the profit) Trouble with todays children is that they want it all AND NOW. Life has taught me you have to be patient

As one of the silly prats who bought this share at a high being less informed than I am now not particulary inclined to continue the agony. I would have had more pleasure from shaking something else against a wall having indirectly invested in brewery shares..!!

Yep, good gains today, bought in again earlier this morning at 10.77p,
Yes, 30p is a long way off.ie Oct/Nov as, that is when interims will be released that will report on how well sales are going on RedEye.
However, 30p may arrive sooner than you think as we might get a positive trading statement between now and then, also contract setups & product development news. I'd be very surprised if we didn't hear anything at all in the next 5/6 mnths (IMHO,DYOR,PYO) :)

Good morning Zi maybe redeye and other products about to relaunch this company into good value perhaps the 25 - 30p may come sooner than Oct Nov. The meeting today has a positive statement and maybe more good news will be released following it. For your info copy of chairmans statement at AGM to be held today.Good luckZi Medical PLC

Zi Medical PLC ('the Company')

Zi Medical specialises in the development of medical devices, focusing on
patient safety in the area of fluid infusion.

AGM statement

At the AGM of the Company to be held today, Michael Fort, Chairman, will make
the following statement:

'Trading so far this year has been encouraging and is in line with our
expectations. Following our global distribution agreement with Baxter Healthcare
Corporation, marketing of the Red-Eye infusion monitor is progressing well with
initial indications of sales at an encouraging level. The development of our
medication delivery systems continues ahead of plan. Negotiations with
multi-national organisations tend to be protracted, however, the dialogue is
progressing and I am confident that we will be able to report a second contract
in due course. In addition, we hope to be able to announce in the near future
the launch of our own range of consumables to complement our fluid infusion
devices. These will have the benefit of bringing additional revenue into the
business in the short term.

'In line with our stated intentions in my Chairman's Statement at the year end,
I am pleased to report that we have been able to strengthen our development team
with the appointment of two development engineers. This will not only allow us
to accelerate the commercialisation of our pipeline of products but will also
reduce our reliance on third parties.

'On behalf of the Board I would like to express our appreciation to our
employees and all our shareholders for their continued support.

'We are optimistic that the technical developments currently in train, together
with satisfactory progress of talks with potential marketing partners, will see
your Company achieve its objective in terms of new product launches, thus
significantly extending our market reach.'

I'm still in... It's on the back burner. This one's bubbling under. I still believe that there'll be good news on the new products etc. Should hear during August I reckon or end of Sept. at the very latest (interims). Still worth holding on to. (imho, dyor, pyo) :)

This seems a strange situation. With no justification at all the sort of folk who read these columns recently pushed the price of this stock to 25p, thus causing many of the more canny holders to divest themselves of their holdings and re invest later at around 12p. The recent set of figures, to my mind, are really what one would have hoped for at this stage of development. Certainly, unless there ARE hidden problems, its the sort of progress which is positive BUT suddenly, the price is knocked to 6p. Now, with George Gallaher the holder of 7.693.500 or 10.7% and Michael Fort holding 901.131 or 1.25% we see no immediate desire to vacate the premises - indeed we might, now, have the price at a situation where the rumored bidder feels it would be worth emerging from the woodwork. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this company?

My thoughts ? It's a bu**er !?
Sales were a little disappointing and a minor setback but that's all.. Big tree shake now going on.. don't know how far down it'll go and for how long..
However, once we see a few contract/deal announcements it might recover. Lets hope it's soon.
What we really need is a good trading update as well with increased revenue in evidence... might need to wait a bit longer for this.. (imho)

Read something about Zi selling drip machines to american market in Sunday Express. Tipped it to jump back up to previous levels. Then this morning up 25%. Anybody think this is worth a punt now, I desided against it 12p... wondering whether to get in while at 7.5

daniellamburn,

I reckon get in at these levels while you can... I've not seen the article but heard about on other BB etc.,
Tipped to turnover at 1m for fy2005. Sales will need to start from Jan onwards and build up through next year. and they still have the syringe driver product coming along after that (12-15months away).
It looks good and when ZIM start announcing more distribution contract deals etc in the remainder of this year, the share will rocket skyhigh ! I'm still a believer, this is what this game is all about...

What level did they say it would go back to ? the 12p or the 30p of earlier this year.

These are my thoughts only.. I could be totally wrong! so as usual imho, dyor, pyo, but if you do go in good luck ! :)

Skyhigh,

Thanks for reply... The article just said it would bounce back, not sure what level it was refering to though.

Ok - thanks. Just thought.. without any positive news in the next couple of weeks the price could drift backdown a bit, maybe even down to sub 6p.. However, I would prefer to be in rather than out as the potential reward is huge. It will bounce substantially if positive news is released by the company (imho, dyor), particularly if they start to get sales in the USA.

Article in Daily Express Tuesday 5.10.04 : - Share Whisper: ZI MEDICAL (talk tie-up with Baxter was generating healthy sales).

Shares are moving up without volume maybe more than a rumour.

BANKONE
Thank you for the heads up! Looks as though it's more than a whisper ! (imho)
Are you a ZIM holder ?

Daniellaburn.
Did you decide to go in for some ?

No, not yet... ummed and arghed as to whether they were going to drop at end of day. May still get in now before I miss the boat.

NOW a pattern is beginning to emerge and, for one who can read the portents,its a pretty good one. Its becoming evident that this IS a stock where a sensible disposal program can cause a price downturn. No need to go overboard but the price CAN be knocked by about 2.5 pence and that, in a 10p stock is a PROFIT.All that remains, now, is to ride with the highs and buy on the lows.Probably you need to have a reserve of around 100/- and gamble with 25/- to 40/-. The reason I say this is that, if you gamble with all, then you are, inevitably, going to be at the wrong end when the bid finally comes - and bid there will be...but when, thats the BIG question.

Good post Hilldee..
Need to see if this is just a short term flash in the pan and an opportunity for the mm's to pump & dump and then pick up more at lower prices.. who knows..
Hopefully we'll get a positive rns soon to ensure share price follow through..
onwards & upwards ... :)

The buys are continuing this morning ratio of 10buys to one sale. Sustained early buying suggests Baxter Healthcare rumour strong. Look forward to a couple of point tick up today.

Yes, It looks good..up again this morning... Let's hope we see an announcement soon.

Seems strange that only skyhigh and BANKONE show any interest in this situation.Maybe all those who chose to rush in at 25p are out there licking their wounds. There IS a profit to be made in this one, just a question of when....NOW. For the two attentive readers, lets go on to identify some similar situations out there and I STRESS none have recently been posted on Moneyam's lists. Dont say they have never been mentioned but certainly not recently and the situations REMAIN as valid now as when first mooted. trouble with today's children is that they all want it NOW. Patience, in stock purchases, can often be a virtue and REAL MONEY can be made on the many cycles that a smaller stock goes thro'. I made my first pile in a stock called DENNIS MOTORS and those who can remember will know that I was a mere stripling at the time.Given to me by an old, Jewish, gentleman I naively asked 'what do they do' to have him reply 'what do you mean what do they do. You are going to make money, who gives a shit what they do.'I have bent the rules some since then but I have never lost sight of the need to 'make money'

hilldee,
Apart from ZIM, I'm into NWD, ARC (good results should be coming up end of month/beg Nov.)
SOP, & ERX, PXC, RTD,
I'm also into a few others but the above, I think should show gains over the coming weeks/months (all imho)

hilldee and skyhigh and any one else interested in this share here is maybe the reason why there was so much interest in this share last week or is the Baxter healthcare scenario still appropriate - more tick ups to look forward to :-)

UK small cap opening - Zi Medical firm on Braun deal
AFX - LONDON (AFX) - Zi Medical made early progress in response to news that the company has signed an agreement with B Braun for Zi's new fluid infusion device which is currently under development.

Zi shares were 1.00 firmer at 10.00 pence by 7.44 am.

It's looking better all the time !
Should see a further notice within the next month or two about Zi selling drip machines to american market. (More likely to happen in the USA as they take "productivity" improvements more seriously than UK (& the rest of Europe !)
If this happens (and any other positive sales news) this share will indeed go "Skyhigh" (imho)

Well. I said there was a profit to be made and if
24.7% over seven days aint enough, then I'm going to be looking for the next downturn and take it all over again. BUT you have to follow the strategy BUY TO KEEP 100/- and then gamble happily with a further 50/-, just to make sure you pay for the coffee and cakes !!

Mate of mine heard something about this ones short term future was dependant upon the American election. Apparently investors state side are waiting the 3 weeks to see how it goes. May well see this one rocket shortly after.
What does anyone think about this, can't deside whether the investment is a formality or not.. I'm still waiting to buy, hopeing there is a dip before it goes through roof.

I heard that Zi success for 2005 was dependant upon US sales but not that it would be hanging on the outcome of the election. Do you have any more info. on what impact the outcome of the election has on the Zi and why it would rocket ?

don't know too much... Just that there is very little investment happening before the ellection outcome. Was hoping someone could maybe explain it all a bit better. Sorry

hilldee, you seem to know about this one. Do you know why the price has droppeed back recently?

down another smidge today....thouht this looked a flyer ...anyone know anything?any notes in IC or Shares Mag today.they dont sell themin HK airport

Interesting to note ZIM down 20% since 11 Oct, which is the date the deal with Braun was announced.ZIM to develop product nad be exclusively marketed by Braun.Braun are a huge player so cant see why that would be a turn off.However its heading downstill!Its a puzzle.

Willfag - agree it's disappointing to see this go down after the announcement of the Braun deal. There was nothing in the IC or shares mag on Zim.

I think mms & everyone wants to see evidence of good sales coming through that's going to provide revenue. Zim really does need to get turnover going up asap.
I reckon we could see more Zim announcements to support this in the next month or so. If we do get good news the shares will rocket. (imh) good luck.. :)

thanks for comment skyhigh,it looked as if the movement was as a result of the Braun deal not being well received. However I would have thought being involved with a comapny of Braun's stature and their undoubted marketing routes for a small company like Zim was great news.As you say we will have to wait for news.

Dont watch the news alone, watch the price as well. Time is coming to make some more money.

Hilldee,

Maybe that time has come, somethings happening with ZIM, last buy was at 9p up 1.5p on the open and the first trade shows a sell at 8p which must have been a buy. Do you think this could be MM games or a signal of news?

Why would a share price move with no news and three small transactions? Is ti just going to reverse back down shortly?Strange

going on recent performance-it will probably go back down again. i hope not.
i think because Bush has won it's having a good impact on this sector, as kerry was going to bring in reforms... :)

RNS out today which could explain some of last weeks price movement:

ZI MEDICAL PLC ('ZI MEDICAL'OR 'THE COMPANY')

NEW SYRINGE DRIVER WELL RECEIVED AT ESID CONFERENCE


The board of Zi Medical is pleased to report that the Company's fluid infusion
product currently under development for Baxter Healthcare SA was recently
positively received at the X1th Annual Meeting of the European Society for
Immunodeficiencies ('ESID') held at Versailles, Paris, France. The conference,
which was sponsored by ZLB Behring, Baxter Bioscience Europe and Bayer
Healthcare brings together a wide range of professionals, consultants, nurses
and specialist clinicians involved in the arena of immune deficiency.

A focus group was arranged during the conference the purpose of which was to
gauge reaction to Zi Medical's new syringe driver from potential user groups,
comprising key opinion leaders, specialist clinicians and patient users.

This user groups included several specific therapeutic areas that are targeted
by this infusion device.

Commenting on the success of the review, Chairman Michael Fort said

'There was enthusiastic support for the new product which we expect to launch
with our partner Baxter Healthcare SA during 2005. Particularly encouraging was
the conformity of the reactions from clinicians and patients, confirming that
the potential market for the product could be significant. Other clinical
applications for the product, including home care and palliative care can only
add to its success'.

'This is the first time we have been able to present our technology to an
independent and informed audience. Their endorsement confirms our view that our
product represents a major advance on the devices currently available in the
market. Our technology lends itself to a range of fluid delivery devices and, by
aligning ourselves with major global partners such as Baxter Healthcare SA , we
continue to expect to make a major impact in this market in 2005 and beyond.'

good news..just need confirmation of an early product launch date with sales plan / forecasts etc.
also need to see actual sales happening for consumables and red eye.. if we can get this soon it will give the share price the boost we're looking for. imho i still think this shaping up nicely...

Ho Ho another 23% profit. This CERTAINLY a stock to TRADE in with, of course, the knowledge that you have a nice little holding that NEVER MOVES. Its an object lesson that you can all learn...but I bet you dont.

I thinkl it looks a good prospect for the future, but usualy whilst there is some improvement the real gains only start when the revenues and profit start to come in and a well received product review is a way short of this.I will be in but timing it may be difficult also lack of funds prevails. perhaps PET will sky rocket and let me take some profit to put in ZIM (he said hopefully)

all this discussion of when contracts will be announced and whether it will be affected by the election of Dubya...and in the midst of it all I have made an average 24% profit on two trades, within the past six weeks. So. Tell me. Is anyone else out there making money from this stock 'like what I am' Remember, all you 'news hounds' the stock goes up and down on DEMAND and need not be related to 'news'and remember, there are a dozen stocks out there you could do the same with. READ MONEY WEEK AND PROSPER.

Times a coming!!

hildee, have you heard a whisper on thisone if so can you impart it. Dubya got back in does this mean some medical contracts may be announced sooner rather tha later.

times a coming

Is there just me and you Hilldee left awaiting the time thats coming

I do hope that this is not the ONLY stock to gain your interest.This one will come round when its due and the MAIN players (who do NOT post on these boards) decide the time is right. This one has proved cyclical amidst a basic good idea and underlying rumors of potential take over, which I still believe to be very possible. One thing for sure. The main impetus in any price rise is not going to come from the folk who inhabit these pages, all of whom seem far more interested in chat than in dealing. There are other stocks of interest on this board BUT there seem to be other boards which provide more insight than Moneyam does.

Bankone, yup interested but funds do not permit and its looking like a but price to me(IMO)

Is now the time a coming - blue so far but a steep rise on the graph - so vertical i nearly needed an injection by Syringe driver of course (:- ))

excuse previous refernce to bottoms "but" should of course have been "buy". Me spolling snot wery Gud!

Will ANYONE out there admit to having paid 25 pence for this stock? Whilst I cannot understand it, there were trades and must, still, be VERY stale bulls.Its all water under the bridge, now, so why not 'fess up and clear your mind ready for the new year - or am I rubbing salt into the wound?

i paid 21p.

Thanks shaunoneill. You cannot have been the ONLY one who moved the market, so there are a LOT of others who still feel the smarting.
NOW to something more constructive. First, depending on the size of your trade, ensure that you notch up a LOSS for the Taxman BUT I would advise that you get back in at anything up to 7p. There is STILL the possibility of a good turn, although there are threats of further fund raising come June.Alternatively, you could re invest the cash in something like Supporta which, hopefully, is going to have a VERY good year. Good Luck - and Thankyou.

'm told they are talking about this one in the bars. Anyone know WHAT the rumor is?

No but now looks a good time and price. They only need a small upturn in orders to start to deliver. So hopefully that is what the talk in the bars is about!Im in

Willfag and Hildee where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. ZIM has zammed and thats only on an upbeat tading statement wait until they announce that the contract has been signed and sealed. 20p - 35p soon broker said 14 months ago - years wait but a loss is only a loss when its sold.

Oh. How I love optimism. But you were right to hold on and I STILL believe there is a PREDATOR waiting in the wings - PLUS a big holder who is a seller at the right price.

on approximately level trading buys /sells today the price has dropped 10%? Any one know if there has been an adverse reort on ZIM today in IC or the papers or is just the usual unexplainable activities of those raving loony MM's? Its a Friday they are bored i expect!
