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!

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

lol BA,don't start..............

Stating the obvious, bm. ;-)))

lol,be off with yer before Wide of the Mark gets jealous :-)

al...mick does not like you to say anything negative at all about this bag a rubbish...it is the best company in the UK...you can tell from the chart

Well, I've looked at the chart in the header and apart from the very short MA, all the others, of which there are (too) many, are pointing downwards.

Ordinarily that's a "sell the bounce" scenario, but then WTFDIK? ;-))))

I prefer the 'Coiled Spring' scenario but time will tell.

time is telling...you were still spouting that same pish 5 years ago

Patients going 'private' on NHS

Tuesday, 2 December 2008

"Thousands of patients a month in England are using a government reform to get what is effectively private treatment paid for by the taxpayer.

Patients have the right to opt for any NHS hospital or private unit that can offer the care at NHS cost."

"Australian firm Ramsay Healthcare, which has over 20 hospitals on the list, said the prospect of getting NHS money was one of the key reasons they bought their way into the English market a year ago."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7742363.stm

The article also states:

"While patients using private hospitals do not have access to any drugs or implants not available on the NHS, they benefit from the individual rooms, free parking, lower rate of hospital infections and higher staff-to-patient ratios that are commonplace."

Not sure whether PSAwatch could be used using this method of going 'private' via the NHS as the PSA test Percy (that French word) is available on the NHS.

Carrying on the theme:

'The health service is just too busy'

Tuesday, 2 December 2008

"More and more patients are using a government policy called patient choice to get NHS treatment at private hospitals.

Many see it is a chance to get top quality care for nothing. But does it really make a difference? "

"With the help of his GP, he was referred to the North Downs Hospital in Surrey, run by the Ramsay Health Care group, which is a stone's throw from his home."

jesus.......great link

Right,now got todays Times with the 16 page supplement focused on Prostate Cancer.

First of all there is nothing on MDW or PSAwatch within any of the articles!

Strange? No,if PSAwatch is all but signed up as the free test available on the NHS.The oficial PSAwatch launch was only 8 weeks ago and was on a global scale so even a Times reporter couldn't miss that one.

The Daily Mirror stated the "The NHS hopes to have it by December and use it with a second test which checks for a gene produced by prostate cancer cells."

Within the supplement there are adverts promoting BMI Healthcare,The Prostate Clinic (BMI) and the British Prostate Centre which does mention PSAwatch:

"NEW PSAwatch-major advance in prostate cancer testing
A simple finger-prick test that gives results in just 10 minutes
Avoid unnecessary biopsies"

There is plenty on the PSA test giving the usual +/- views but there is a definite direction portrayed about getting the message out for men to get an initial PSA test and take things from there rather than waiting until it's too late!

That's just after a quick look,I may be back

I'd better post something just in case this 'ere thread is not on anyone's favourites list....a little joke :-)

I see Margaret McCartney opened up a hornets nest earlier this year,interesting read and a little mention of MDW:

ESPN'S Dick Vitale and Michael Wilbon Stand Up in the Fight Against Prostate Cancer
PRWeb

December 04, 2008

"College basketball analyst and sports ambassador Dick Vitale and co-host of ESPN's Pardon the Interruption Michael Wilbon have teamed up with ESPN, The V Foundation for Cancer Research and Stand Up To Cancer in an effort to create a national discussion about the often ignored reality of prostate cancer and to help men start to understand their potential risk for the disease. Prostate cancer is among the biggest men's health concerns. It currently affects approximately two million American men; more than 186,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008 alone."

"'If the first time you think about prostate cancer is when you're diagnosed, it might be too late. Men over the age of 40, especially those with other risk factors, should be proactive in managing their prostate health,' said Kaplan, M.D., F.A.C.S., Vice Chairman of the Department of Urology at Columbia University. 'The PSA, which is a simple blood test, is an excellent tool to help manage your risk of prostate health. New studies now point to higher-than-average PSAs as correlating with a higher likelihood of being diagnosed with prostate cancer in the future. One marker is 1.5 or higher in men over the age of 50. This is significant because we now potentially have a new way to closely monitor men who may be at increased risk for developing prostate cancer.'

Dr. Kaplan, among the other panelists, will paint the picture of prostate cancer in America, showing why prostate cancer is such an interruption in men's lives. Afterall, every 2.5 minutes, a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer. And, every 19 minutes, a man dies from it."

Oooo,that looks good now!

The Taiwanese 'Sunshine Ltd' medical distributer although having PDF's of MDW equipment when looking via the internet,the main website used to have the same picture of a Medtronic Duet or such like as still seen now along with wording relating to Medtronic! This being the case I never classed them as an MDW distributer but obviously they are and backed up by 'Partners' on MDW's website.



But now the wording has been updated for Mediwatch...........which is rather nice!

Just a reminder that there is plenty of information (well a bit more) regarding MDW and the sector as a whole that can be accessed via the links at top of page or through the link below:

Heres another website that has been updated to include MDW products,if you wait long enough Mediwatch pops up on left under 'brands'. :-)

Of interest especially as MDW deal with the Department of Veterans Affairs along with MDW being able to offer PSAwatch (once FDA is sorted,of course) which will tie in quite nicely with the equipment already purchased by the DVA:
