Strange e-mail - it still doesn't even mention when the AGM was after all that!

Let's hope that they manage to thrash out an excellent deal with the Yanks after all this time.....still Mediwaiting.

now looking good

Wow - up 15% today alone, not forgetting the 100% when the US deal's announced :-)

Looking good indeed.

Just noticed the reason for today's rise - a nice distribution deal for the UK to keep us sweet until the "BIG ONE":

-ends -

It looks as though MDW has found a relatively stable bottom again, though I reckon most folks who bought in for the big news must have been stopped out by now.

Looks like a good time to scoop up another chunk, which I may well do next week. As each day goes on we get closer and closer to that "massive" US distribution deal - who knows, it could be announced next week.

hope you are right overgrowth.....might start pestering mr stimpson for some news this week1!!!

got a feeling when/if this US deal is announced it will rocket to some extent....however more importantly these distribution deals bring in some good sales,.

Large markup by the MMs today - up 13% at close.

Is there something finally brewing ?

overgrowth...distribution deals!!!. Let's hope it is just the beginning:-))
Will have to retrieve the shares from the dog drawer!!

Great news eh Jules ?

China and Hong Kong no less. China could well end up being bigger than a distribution deal in the US.

What a crap day to announce the news though - the price rise has been falsely deflated. I reckon there's plenty more upside to come when folks calculate the future projections for these deals - so still worth buying in tomorrow imho (for you guys waiting on the sidelines).

A bit of coverage over the next few days in the papers.... hopefully,and a few more +ive statements from mdw then who knows?Been a long wait but things are starting to look good-imo.Still a long way to go me thinks in mdw achieving what they set out for.....but getting to the first rung is very good!

banjomick - Still a long way to go before we see the price at 1+

Though, now MDW are coming up with the goods big style, 1 doesn't seem all that far away :-)

lol OG a ,but then again.....Think it may go up a few more pence this week on todays news alone but will require further news on the actual deal to double.If they get the USA deal,which was on the cards earlier on this year,then obviously 1 and above would be,can i use my fav.,word-lol,verisimilitude!!!!

Blimey banjomick, I had to resort to the dictionary on that one - quite appropriate though.

A few sellers today who probably were happy to double their money after getting in at the 3p level much earlier.

There should be plenty more buying next when the news sinks in. MDW is now looking interesting enough to be a future "Play of the Week" in Shares mag.

If MDW are already shipping products to China and Hong Kong, they must be antcipating selling a good few products very soon - the next results should be excellent and future growth potential is now phenomenal.

Can understand the sellers today but even in the short/medium term there should be room for a substantial rise especially if they do it right and give frequent updates (+ve ones)to let shareholders know whats happening(unlike GON-lol).Lets hope for a bit of press coverage over w/end!No more big words,it is the only one I know-lol

i am sure they will require another placing?
any thoughts?

petravla - 50:50 I would say.

The last placing was to cover stock for the US deal - this can be used for the China/Hong Kong deal now.

It all depends on how long the US distribution deal takes to finalise. If substantial profits are coming in from China/Hong Kong then this will cover stock in the US, otherwise they'll need to raise some temporary finance to keep growing at a rapid pace.

Has anyone any knowledge of the market which MDW have just moved into ?

Hong Kong has a population of 6.8 million at the last count and China 1.285 billion - I wonder what proportion of this will turn into sales for MDW....

Looks like stake building at the moment 2 x 250k buys @ 7.5 the other day now 2 taday @ 6.5?

someones happy with 70k in mediwatch.....not the sort of money you would invest if at all unconfident of the future. bodes well!

bought these beginning of sept with hindsight had I waited 2 mins would not have bought,soon as I bought they dropped the 2p they had risen that day,now I am locked in 45% down but I do believe there is some profit coming (keep the faith)

mort - I'm a fair bit down too, however MDW are really worth holding on to.

Bullish statements have been made by Philip Stimpson (CEO) on various occasions in the past and most of these are starting to take shape. The company is just starting to fulfil its ambitions of being a spectacular growth story.

At one point the press rumoured that PS had said that MDW would be 1 by this Christmas (this was when he thought that the US distribution deal was in the bag), this is not on the cards just yet, however the US deal has yet to be announced so 1 sometime next year is not totally beyond the realms of possibility.

MDW's goal is to sell their products in 100 different countries. They have a solid niche medical product range (which already sells well in the UK and Europe) and are destined to go far in the next couple of years.
