Healthcare Enterprise Group market a product called "Ebiox" which is one of a very few that can kill most bacteria including the MRSA superbug. HCEG has contracts with some NHS hospitals at present, but given the recent and current news and public attention, HCEG should be a good bet for a steady rise as more places seek to cut the number of casualties from this infection. HCEG also market abroad in USA, so the potential market for this unique product is massive indeed.

Well worth a punt IMHO

Check it out for yourself

Just a whisker away from the 1 and then what's the target :-)

Spread has halved in the last hour.

25K buy just gone through @ 1

The HCEG site on Digitallook has been turned off for essential maintenance,I could do with some of that!

HCEG LOOKS LIKE IS GAINING MOMENTUM

Ethel

I do maintenance

I just knew that someone would rise to the occasion,and it is a man with lots of lolly,yippee....
Back to HCEG.Would like to know who is doing their Ebiox products' manufacturing.Is this outsourced?They have main offices in London,Los Angeles and Germany.Head office in Warrington.U.K.,export division in Essex.The SAFA products,bandages etc. are made in Thailand.This company is really diverse in healthcare products.You can buy flu jabs from them as well...useful against the forthcoming Sars epidemic maybe???
I suspect that this rally will not continue unless the big boys get in and /or there is a major commitment from the NHS.But,note the date of the first posting on this thread.Ebiox products ARE for sale....the stuff is brilliant but where are the big orders?Until there is financial proof of sucessful sales I shall pop in and out until the future of this wonderful company is more visible.

Are you selling Ethel? I suppose you can now that you have found your galant and wealthy knight :-))

Not yet,generally sell when I am still in the green.Expect a tumultuous crash down when sentiment turns,which is the wrong attitude to have but have been burnt like this before.My Morrisons and Compass shares rocketed down when the time came!!!That's why if the big boys are'nt in HCEG,then it should chug along with all the little investors buying.Really,why does'nt the Minister for health get on and buy gallons of Ebiox stuff and REALLY CLEAN UP the system??Ah..ah...who is the main provider of cleaning products to the NHS?Maybe there are contracts that still have time to run.Old boy network etc.
Maybe Lord le Dosh is already bethrothed,methinks he only does maintenance not regular servicing.

I purchased my first HCEG shares in November 03 @ 1.65 sold just prior to consolidation and repurchased after the consolidation was completed. Up until the last three days these have allways been a good steady earner and were aquired for the medium to longer term. If we look at the fact that they have a great products base, are in to the american market, are graced with a no-nonsence management, I would say that IMO unless you are looking for a quick profit this company is money in the bank. If you want a secure punt hold on to your holding.

By the way the maintenance is costing me an arm and a leg

I bought at about 1.95 in Jan 03 then I kept buying as it dropped to 1.50's in spring and have watched it gradually rise (double+) as I Hoped/expected. I think this is worth holding and won't be worried by a drop for profit take. If there is no news for a while, it will probably drop off as the impatient sell but I've decided to keep this one for the long haul and hope I'll benefit from big dividends in a few years time.

You have done really well with your timing on these.I note that the spread has widened and there are little buyers at 103p.However,I just looked at all the red on the FTSE 100 and remembered the world outside the penny shares club.That world looks serious,today.Oil prices up again,Greensberg looking serious talking about financing America's debt.Iraq horrors,terrorist threats,projected food shortages throughout the world because of the weather we have forced upon our planet and I feel that we might be in for a downward re-adjustment in the stock market soon.The sentiment in the mainstream market affects that in the small caps territory despite the resilience of the latter.It is fairly easy to buy small caps,but often difficult to sell them in a falling market.
The sp has yet to find a lower resistance level which makes it hard to see how far it could go upto on enthusiasm alone(RE:DOO)!!!I was thinking of 70p as a retracement target price,but in view of the sp rise today,it makes it even harder to calculate what could happen.The same happened with MER last year it was and still is hard to calculate what the real value of this company is.The nice ride up was finally halted by various "people" saying enough is enough...your money would be better off here or there..the meddlers.

Another great start to the day !!

This has been brilliant,but we are pretty much alone on this thread,strange.Have a look at SPH,also good potential IMHO.

You are not alone.But for those of us who bought at 2p or so we are now only at 4.5p in old money,very nice but not exactly a ten bagger yet.Admittedly we have more security now that is no longer a penny share, but what are the chances of this ever reaching 5 to make it a genuine 10 bagger? Will now look at SPH and RGT

Bit like me and b####y Planestation!!I'm getting all excited here while there are loads of people still suffering losses.As this has gone on quite nicely all week I anticipate a top of 125p and then a sell off...let's see.
re SPH,there is a resistance at 140 which has been twice tested recently.See no reason why the sp can't reach 180p in medium term.

Lots of sellers today. Obviously many people reluctant to go long on this share.They seem to be happy to make a few pence on the weeek.But if you are looking for a company with prospects this is as good as you are likely to find.

a few buyers have returned at the end of the day so perhaps they may rise tommorrow.

I don't have real-time share prices,never saw sp touch 126p...was staring at 122.50p(bid 120p)..went to get a cuppa..came back and the bid was 114p,you can see the loop on the chart!!!That was really quick considering that the big boy's never really got on board.Double the volume today.Many more sellers of quantity than buyers.Maybe the sp will have another go upto 126p tomorrow with the small punters carrying on buying...maybe there will be some news??I sold my small investment today,wanted to lock in a decent profit.Shall definitely re-invest in HCEG...has a great future in front of it.
Ethel.Good luck all you long term holders!!

The best HCEG board by far is on ADVFN - excellent thread. A must for those seriously into this stock. It's free have a look.
