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.


It started with:

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

toodlepip

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

The Prostate Cancer Charity responds to ministerial statement on prostate cancer screening
The Prostate Cancer Charity comments on the ministerial announcement that the Chief Medical Officer has contacted all GPs in England to highlight the findings of two major studies into the effectiveness of prostate cancer screening as the Government asks the UK National Screening Committee to review the new findings.

John Neate, Chief Executive of The Prostate Cancer Charity, said: We support the Chief Medical Officers decision to alert all GPs to these new research findings and to the Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme, aimed at providing advice to GPs on how to counsel men who request a PSA test but have no symptoms. Undoubtedly, given the significance of the new studies and the Governments decision to ask the UK National Screening Committee to review this new evidence, many men will now be more aware of the PSA test and may be seeking access to this.

It is essential that GPs are equipped to guide men through the pros and cons of PSA testing, enabling them to make the right decision for them. Currently, hundreds of men who request a PSA test face opposition from their own GPs, who themselves are either not fully aware of the issues surrounding the test or do not support a mans right to make an educated decision to have it.

It is critical that the Committees review is as robust and as speedy as possible and The Prostate Cancer Charity as well as other key groups are invited to contribute to the review.

http://www.prostate-cancer.org.uk/news/news_detail.asp?id=1252

I think this roundtable discussion is a pretty fair one with the conclusion of both parties giving the same message,more or less as they both are continuing to use the PSA test with one side using it not as much with her reasons given.

The fact that Mary McNaughton-Collins says that in some cases a man would not need a PSA test and others would appears to me illogical as a test does no harm and keeping a record of results must be beneficial!

One of the main points which I agree with is improved doctor patient discussion before a PSA test is carried out.

Screening for Prostate Cancer

In two large randomized trials, researchers examined the effect of annual prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening on the rate of death from prostate cancer and found that it was small and was offset by false positive diagnoses. Since screening may have benefits in catching cancers early but may also carry risks including that of unnecessary treatment, professional societies have split on the question of whether to recommend regular PSA screening. In a roundtable discussion moderated by Dr. Thomas Lee, oncologist Philip Kantoff and primary care physician Mary McNaughton-Collins debate the clinical implications of the new findings and the best way to advise patients about undergoing PSA testing.

jesus...you need to get a bird.........spending 12 hours a day searching for this stuff indicates you need to get some female companionship......if you are that ugly mick you can always pay for it....

ahh ok forgot..all yer pennies are in this.....

i understand

I've de-filtered you for the first time in...................since I first filtered you-lol

Right,have you got something sensible to say?

I also note that you have popped over to advfn chasing me there too!

nope nothing sensible (that u would agree with anyway)...please filter me again

I would like to know why you have a problem with me?

You just updated your last post so your still there.

You must be typing a lot of questions regarding MDW to take this long!

I will try to answer them.

nope...i think it will head back to 5p again and i will buy if it gets there...simple...no need for 10 posts a day about it all

if it does not get to 5p then fine if it does and i buy i will have a stop...i dont understand why you feel you need to post so many articles that have little or no link ot the company

even if/when i buy and will therefore be long.... you are a ramper mick.......end of story...u have problems with people that have anything negative to say about MDW...not the other way about.

now please feel free to filter me again as you ave no objective opinion on this share....and if it is not objective.....it is of no value

goodnight

"i dont understand why you feel you need to post so many articles that have little or no link ot the company"

I believe all the articles I post are relevant to MDW whether directly/indirectly or I would not post them!

Please feel free to post anything negative and we can discuss it in a sensible fashion instead of your off the cuff remarks.

Just looking at some of your previous posts,I won't look back any further!

"Treblewide - 11 Mar 2009 09:10 - 1613 of 1668
why are you telling people how to follow links if this thread is merely for your own infomration....... u r full of rubbish.

i suppose after 5 years of holding a loss and being consistenntly wrong on this you will try anything"

As my average is 6.5p I therefore conclude that it is you again that is consistently wrong!

and as you say,goodnight and your back on filter for the little shit you are,excuse my French :-)

Banjo,
Don't rise to treblewide, he is so insecure he probably needs nappies, if he hasn't read about your interest in prostate cancer due to friends and family, then he hasn't followed your comments fully.
Forget treblewide he has an agenda and it now seems very much a vendetta against you and Mediwatch, in this game you can't help all the mugs that invest a few quid in a share only to lose it, that's their decision and their loss. Some like treble come back to try and extract revenge but they are soon seen through, a look back at his post's will see he has been totally wrong with regards MDW, although the recent worldwide slump may have helped his SP predictions. The truth of it seems to be, we have an ex-investor sore at his losses trying his damnedness to put others off investing and hoping that others will also suffer a loss like his, in the forlorn hope this will make him feel better. It won't! If he was so adamant about his predictions he would have shorted MDW, he didn't! he did before and lost money, he can't invest properly either way, LOLOL. let him drown in his own regurgitations he is a nothing and that is what hurts him most.

Let MDW speak for themselves and keep up the postings even if it is because most of us investors will need to know (or do already) about prostate cancer, it's testing and treatment of, it should be a big worry for any man and one that needs more discussion and exposure.

ooohh minder...check you.....someone is in the huff

This is a very interesting debate with MDW's very own Mark Emberton taking part,the lady asking the questions is pleasant on the eye and quite funny when she has to keep reading from the screen also with a bit of flirting 3/4 the way through! :-)

Reliable prostate cancer test may be decade away

21st March 2009, 11:45 WST

"It may take a decade to replace the prostate cancer test that doctors say is inadequate and risky, yet is used on 75 percent of American men 50 or older."


"The research, aimed at distinguishing slow-growing cancers that rarely cause death from malignancies that can spread and kill, will take at least 10 years before theyre in common use, said Christine Berg, also at the NCI.
In the meantime, scientists are tweaking the current test to make the results more precise."

I beat prostate cancer and now I want to help other sufferers

By Sue Leonard
Friday March 20 2009

"Men have a one in 12 chance of developing prostate cancer. In 2005, 2,406 men were diagnosed with the disease. Yet this particular form of cancer has a low public profile compared to others. This is partly because men have traditionally been reluctant to talk about it -- a state of affairs that the Irish Cancer Society decided to address."

"At first, men were slow to come forwards, but the situation is improving.

"They are asking their GP to get their PSA check -- the main test for prostate cancer," says Olwen Ryan, patient support group manager with the Irish Cancer Society."

"Prostate cancer grows very slowly. And some men, with the advice of their specialist, opt for 'watchful waiting'. In their view, the side effects of strong treatments outweigh the benefits. They have regular PSA tests and rectal examinations, but wait for the cancer to develop, or show symptoms before thinking about more active treatment."

"We're keen to spread awareness," he says. "Men should get their PSA done when they are 50 -- or at 45, if there has been a history of cancer. My cancer was caught early, and that made all the difference."

Blood Test Detects Early Cancer, Saves Man's Life
Posted: March 20, 2009 10:47 PM

OKLAHOMA CITY -- During a blood donation, Andy McMinn paid $15 for an extra screening, a PSA test, to check for prostate cancer.

"At my age, I thought, Well, I'm going to start doing it and once a year, I try to do it around my birthday,'" McMinn said.

Andy's test showed an elevated PSA level, and doctors later confirmed he had cancer.

"He said at the lab, The biopsy came back and you have tested positive for cancer,'" McMinn said.

Prostate not taboo topic

Friday, March 20, 2009, 12:58

But while improved treatment has been a core part of the charity's work, raising awareness has been equally important.

"When we first started we had a few well-read men asking for their prostate blood test, the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test.

"After about a year a lot more men were coming in with their partners asking for the test, so it was their partners pushing them.

"After a couple of years we were having men coming in on their own having had the blood test, so people's awareness and knowledge has improved through the appeal's education."

RUGBY STAR CALLS ON ALL MEN TO TAKE PROSTATE TEST

Sunday March 22,2009
By Lucy Johnston

A FORMER England international rugby player stricken with prostate cancer is urging men: Go and get tested.

Andy Ripley, who played number eight for England between 1972 and 1976, says men who have reached 50 should learn from his mistake.
