Mediwatch-A Synopsis:
Mediwatch was established in 1996 and has developed a range of specialist
medical equipment for the diagnosis of urological disorders.The group joined the
AIM in 2000 through a reverse into Prostcare plc,which at the time was valued at
8m.While the vast majority of sales were generated in the UK,there was a
substantial indirect export business involving a number of agents,supplying into
Europe,North America,Australasia and Asia,notably Japan.
Group revenues are set to increase rapidly following the acquisition of the former
Medtronic Urodynamis Division,which has introduced a fundamental presence in
North America.The deal was in 2006 with the sales division building from 2007.
With the inclusion of the Medtronic systems now owned by Mediwatch they now
can offer a 'One Stop Shop' for the diagnosis of various urology disorders with the
benefit of Mediwatch systems having the ability to electronically send data from the
various tests to a central data base!Oh and plus the added bonus of PSAwatch and
now PCA3plus!

More than 30 million PSA tests are performed annually in the USA alone!

FUTURE EVENTS AND LATEST
NEWS

Just for the record and to even things up,this is Treblewide's view (near end
of 2008):

"in short 3p by chrimbo and a real chance if they do not get rid of management they
will go into receivership.....when they bough the MDT business I said at the time it
must have been a bag of shite as they only paid buttons for it.......looks like that was
fairly correct......i feel sorry for shareholders"

Treblewide has been filtered from my eyes for his abuse,lies and general behavior but
it's a free country (I think) so do as you see fit.

interesting stuff from that article...very few men die from prosate cancer and it is not an agressive disease....treatment can be worse than the disease.......kind of suggests their whole business model is based on sand to me.......but hey who wants a balanced view.

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 00:31 - 76 of 1754
exercise and sex may cause a raised PSA...so you guys may have stumbled on a test for fit shaggers :-)

I am gonna name Me-Di-Watch

Gonna-go-bust-soon-iwatch

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 10:59 - 85 of 1754
minder...i do not make light of prosate cancer....show me one post where I do...i make fun out of this company yes but not the disease so wind yer neck in pal.

show me any trace of a profit and i will maybe change my mind

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 15:54 - 97 of 1754
minder made a small loss yes which I have more than made up for shorting it........and i guess your average holding is 3p.....aye right.

Aalso I closed out my short at 8p for a loss of the spread if memory serves me correctly.

currently short from 13.25....i thank you and goodnight

Treblewide - 23 Jul 2007 12:36 - 154 of 1747
more of the same......thank god i still do not own shares in this lot...will they ever
make a penny profit....looks doubtful......cannot even manage a small supply chain.


ect ect ect

with the last few posts:

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 09:16 - 1704 of 1754
you are a lunatic mick.....words fail me.

and ps i only post under treblewide on any financial web site....i know you cannot say the same......you have been calling this as a buy and nothing but a buy for about 7 years...it says it all really about your stock picking ability

i notice the downtrend ins now establishing itself....re-visit of the lows again by the looks of things

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 22:41 - 1712 of 1754
mick no i dont know what each product does...i dont think that is important...the numbers tell everything and even though you must spend hours on web sites searching for stuff that is not even related to MDW you fail to grasp the basics...they consistently lost money and now seem to be making some...my call to 3p was correct and i think if they had not got their shit together they could have gone under

i was not interested in them as a long play while they were loosing money depsite whatever rubbish you posted regarding piss sticks or whatever you bang on about.

and yes it was poor trading..having an avergae of 12 and averaging down to 6-7p while they were at 3p....is terrible trading...that cannot even be debated...the very fact you know so much about the products means you have fallen in love with this company......which is very dangerous when investing....

the numbers are the important things...i was right on 3p, the company is posting slightly better figures but we are in a bear market which has not bottomed yet so the price will fall further

you are a 1 trick pony that posts irrelevant links...dont bother to respond i can be bothered getting into a debate with you.....away and cut and paste some more flags

I have been chased from here and now ADVFN,has the boy got a problem?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 14:46 - 22345 of 22412


post 22342 is classic.....so mick advfn is not a good source when the consensus is sell?

begs the question why you spend so much time polluting it with your bull tripe?

question....so MDW share price has gone up, it has gone down etc etc...during all of that time has mick ever been able to find any subjectivity in his posting ie has he ever critisised anything?

i really think he may be getting paid by MDW...the whole thing is very bizzare.

mick i notice you referred to your threads as "promotion of Mediwatch"

can you confirm if you are getting financially rewarded by the company for this?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 23:55 - 22371 of 22412


664k overdrawn....takes a long time to pay back at 39k profit every 6 months.

drawn down overdraft has increased by 170k and they paid 33k to service that overdraft and made 39k profit...as i keep saying my local fish and chip shop make more money than this lot.

margins have been squeezed...psa watch now off the agenda in terms of updates....not 1 single reason to buy and yet you lot think this share price will go up??.....am mystified why it would increase? genuinely why is this comapny under valued?? i cannot see it and dont bang on about fairfax saying they are going to make x amount...they have never been near to getting it right

if i were a holder i would be selling now at 6p if i could and buying back in the 2-3p range which the chart is saying is now a certainty....i expecta full year loss

i told you all to sell at 14p and at 11p (it is all there in black and white) and that it was going to 3 pence..i got abuse mick called me an idiot and suggested it was going to 50p......still a sell and my short (which was posted in real time over the road) is nicely in profit.

toodle pip...will log back in when it gets to 3p....

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 10:49 - 22379 of 22412


still time to get out at 6p.....dont understand why you would not sell at 6p when they are obviously going to half in value...if you are a long term mdw bull you can buy twice as many shares at 3p and maybe possibly one day see a profit on your holding?



treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22412


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 14:48 - 22387 of 22412


so question...is psawatch is so great...why has there been no huge surge in revenue figures from UK and Europe on the back of it being sold?

the whole reason a lot of you hold this is psawatch...it has not made them any money in Europe which could be argued when taken as a whole is not much smaller than the USA.....this company is not going to change overnight with US approval...at bets it would be a selling opportunity for long term holders

i really think a lot of you have to ignore some of the nonsense ramping going on here...the company is draining cash and there margins are reducing (despite this wonder PSA machine they have for sale)

i really think the future looks bleak for mediwatch...if someone can put in concise terminology why MDW is a buy i am all ears....dont point me at fairfax report...they are a bunch of clowns as well...that interim report is shocking and i mean really poor.

costs out of control...margins squeezed, cash running out...no real revenue growth, does this sound like a growth company to you?

sell at 6p


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 15:50 - 22391 of 22412


god i have heard it all now...mick can you counter my points about declining margins and cash issues without nonsense posts about peopel having insider information...what a crock and what a clown.

so just so i have this straight in my head...when you put in effort to ramp these shares it is all great and you expect cuddles? (and if anyone disagrees you throw your toys out the pram liek an old woman)

when i put up a few posts to explain why i am short it is an organised attempt to get the share price down because i have insider inforamtion from the US?

were you the Iraqi information minister in a previous role? lol


treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:24 - 22409 of 22412


lol.....shares getting sold today at 5.75.....next stop 3p...

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22408 edit


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks




treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:29 - 22410 of 22412


i wonder what thier overdraft is limited to....1M?

if so they have 12 months of life left at current perfomance...how many of you hlders have considered the chances of them going bust?....i would not rule it out...would love to know how much further the banks will let them go into debt before they pull the plug

treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:37 - 22411 of 22412


seriously if i were a holder i would look at the interims and ask how much longer can they go on burning cash.......and with all the averaging down the bulls have done over the years i bet some are more exposed than they should be....good luck...think you might need it




ANYWAY

Compared to GON which are still high risk but with a good chance of very high reward we have MDW.
Thank God for MDW,this one takes care of itself with so much good news to come I need say no more...........................just thought I'd put it to top of list,for the hell of it-lol

If this doesn't break out today or next week I'll wait until it does.....

Interesting volumes today!

indeed it is banjo...closed my short for a small profit earlier this afternoon as chunky trades on small caps like this always make me suspicious

Afternoon Treble,
A small profit is better than no profit at all :-)
Are you going to buy a few with real money or perhaps wait until Interims before making a decision?


Good to hear from you anyway.

Just a wild guess Treble but was that your 10k from this morning then?

i am keeping an eye on it for trades either way...may be short or may be long dont know yet

'I could be short,I could be long'- PIL (Rise) or words to that effect! :-)

Interim Results due this month,should be interesting.

Must be due another spike up........................................

only been waiting 3.5 years.........whats another few months

Just seems like yesterday! :-)

Has all the makings for an interesting summer,regarding MDW.

A blue day here..........................

This is quite interesting and although not delving into the screening issue could well involve MDW's PSAwatch......maybe! The results are due out February 2008:

PROSTATE CANCER

On 14th October 2003 the Department of Health and the Welsh Assembly
Government formally requested the National Institute for Clinical Excellence to
prepare a clinical guideline as described in the box below.

Title: Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

Remit: To prepare a guideline for the NHS in England and Wales for the
clinical management of prostate cancer, to supplement existing service
guidance. The guideline should cover:

- the key diagnostic and staging procedures excluding screening

- the main treatment modalities including hormonal treatments
(covering surgical and chemical castration)

- the role of tumour specific bisphosphonates.

http://www.nice.org.uk/page.aspx?o=98574



Also (note 7%):

Rationale for referral to NICE.

This is a common condition responsible for a large burden of morbidity and
mortality. Survival rates for prostate cancer are poor particularly when
compared to other parts of Europe. (Although there has been a recent
increase of 7% in the survival rate, this is more likely to be due to a longer
lead time associated with increasing use of prostate specific antigen testing
than to improvements in treatment.)

http://guidance.nice.org.uk/page.aspx?o=98613

Of interest:

Our current research

Teams of researchers in Bristol, Sheffield and Cambridge are co-ordinating an extension of the ProtecT trial, to look at new ways of using the PSA test that might make it more suitable for screening. The trial extension will compare what happens to men who are screened using the PSA test and men who are not.

Two other large international trials are also looking into the effectiveness of prostate cancer screening. Their results will be available in 2008.

Almost a positive statement regarding the PSA test,things are changing!

I'm not really pro/anti 'National Screening Program' as I think with PSAwatch you can have it without calling it such with the test being quick and easy to use!


"All three screening tests available (DRE, transrectal ultrasound [TRUS] and the measurement of PSA levels) have drawbacks.
**************************************************************************
Of the three, the PSA test is the most acceptable and reliable but even so there are problems. For example:
**************************************************************************
Lack of specificity. Only about a quarter to a third of asymptomatic men with abnormally high PSA levels will have prostate cancer. Up to two thirds of men with elevated PSA levels will not have prostate cancer but will suffer the anxiety, discomfort and risk of follow-up investigations.1
Lack of sensitivity. Up to 20% of all men with prostate cancers have normal PSA levels.
********************************************************************
The PSA test has not been standardised. Inter-laboratory variability has been identified, and it is becoming clear that the levels of PSA need to be adjusted for a number of factors including age, the ratio of PSA serum concentration to gland volume and the free:total PSA ratio.2 The UK Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme (see Future section below) aims to introduce a standardised test with systematic and standardised follow-up for men with raised PSA levels. A strict preparation protocol also needs to be followed if standard results are to be obtained."
*****************************************************************************


"Recently, studies carried out assessing tumour aggressiveness in relation to PSA doubling time have found that this is a strong indicator of risk. Monitoring changes in Gleason grade by carrying out repeat biopsies at regular intervals can also be used to predict the likelihood of tumour progression.

These developments may make prostate cancer screening using the PSA test a more effective procedure than it has been to date.3 Change in PSA levels can also be a good indicator for success of treatment, and for survival.4"

lol-Similar chart to GON.........strange!

An interesting medium to send out the PSA test message:
