AGM today and starting to tick up.

Help please, what is the significance of the move on the stochastic? try as a may I can't understand this indicator.

optomistic - the stochastic indicator compares where a stock closed at to its price range over a specific period of time. It's an overbought/oversold indicator.

As a general rule stochastics are used to identify turning points - when the red line (%K) crosses over the blue line (%D) so that red is above blue this is a buying signal - the converse is a selling signal.

Because the price has been constant on various days recently, the %K appears to be shooting up abnormally and can be ignored - this will settle back to a normal pattern when MDW is traded more (which is sure to happen when we get the news!).

Thanks overgrowth, that's as good an explanation as I have had, will copy that to file.

Any ideas on todays negative trading?

Punters tend get into this share desparately hoping for news to break immediately after they've bought. Of course, life is not normally so kind so they sell out after a few weeks with a view to returning later. This happens from time to time in newsless periods.

Being National Prostate Cancer Awareness Week - some misguided souls seem to think that Mediwatch should be pulling out all the stops to capitalise on the PR opportunuity - when they saw no evidence of Mediwatch in the news over the past two days they sold out.

Mediwatch obtain most of their contracts through agreements with other suppliers and distributors or through their sales force - not by selling to Joe Public.

If the price drops any further this will provide a nice temporary topping up opporunity.

Lots of news still to come and when it does, MDW's share price will go up like a rocket.

Patience is all that's required to amass a sizeable fortune.

Thanks for your response, overgrowth.

Most people don't want to think about prostate cancer...it has'nt reached the level of acceptability that breast cancer has.Hence,buying into Mediwatch means acknowledging that this cancer IS a serious one that strikes young and old .
There is a certain inherit resistance to acknowledging what MDW are really all about.
This is not a glamour stock.It's not really a tech stock (although it should be).It falls into that region called "medical devices"....machines to measure and survey.
The support of the small shareholders is obvious.There is a good resistance level at 8p.
The sp is waiting for some good news.I hope it comes soon so that early diagnosis of prostate cancer becomes available at affordable prices to men worldwide.
Overgrowth said it all....PATIENCE

Patience is all we need and patients are who will benefit from this technology.
I myself have been investigated for possible prostate issues (fortunately no problem). A high percentage of males will need to be tested as they get older, we all get old and have relatives that get old and all probably know someone who has had prostate cancer. Early diagnosis is the key to survival, all people that I know with it have survived or did survive for a long-time, the problems arise if it goes undetected and spreads. I'm sticking with MDW and for sure, it the opportunity presents itself to buy again at less than 8p, I will be in again. Bullish predictions here but the market is massive, just need the deals.

The market fell horribly today,but I think that the 8p resistance will hold.Keep the faith.This is a GOOD company.

Topped up with 50k at 8.35p,dont think we will get them cheaper than that.

Good move John, it's pushing it to hang on for sub 8p again as some people are.

Roll on some news....

....and a massive increase in price of course lol!

Down below 8p on no volume. Looks like market makers aiming to either attract some buying or even encourage selling by dropping thru support. The chart is beginning to look pretty sad. Lets hope for some good news soon as without news the price will continue to drift

Should have waited.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing - though the massive consolation is that when we get the news flow coming through, Mediwatch will be soaring so high that a few pennies on the share price here and there will be insignificant.

The board have previously said that when all their plans come to fruition that we should expect a share price of 1+.

Mediwatch will be more than a 10 bagger, there are 3 major news items which we know are going to appear (we just don't know when) and each one will bump up the share price by a significant amount. Previously after FDA approval in the US the sp was taken to above 14p in anticipation of an "imminent" distribution deal announcement. As we know now this has been held up for over a year, legal issues were done and dusted by the end of 2004, so we must be getting very close to an announcement by now.

I believe the news will come in this order (all will happen in 2005 and could be next week for all we know):

Major Japanese contract (could well be announced during this month).

SDA Approval to sell into China and Hong Kong (oddly enough the distribution deal has already been sorted for this several months ago - I assume that Mediwatch haven't got the hang of the bribing system in China yet lol!).

US Distribution Deal - Mediwatch themselves have said that this will be a massive deal for such a small company as theirs and is sure to have a very significant effect on the share price.

Yes overgrowth i agree.

Will they have to issue new shares to cope with a big deal?A new issue is so often announced very quickly after good news,diluting the sp and confusing potential buyers.
Of course,if they try a new issue BEFORE news would we all rush to buy,anyway???Difficult when a small company has to find a lot of cash for expansion.
ETHEL

ethel - tricky to tell as it all depends on the volume and frequency of sales going through the other markets. MDW are now turning some nice profits from the UK sales force and also in Europe and Canada from CR Bard. We're on the verge of a big deal extension from GE in Japan, so it's a fine balance keeping the cashflow going, capital to manufacture all the new equipment required and paying the staff to make it happen.

The US deal will be huge and if sales take off rapidly as expected MDW are going to need to produce a lot of products to cater for the demand.

I believe that this is why the distribution deal is taking so long to forge out. I suspect that it will be a manufacturing and distribution agreement with a US company which will enable MDW to keep a large "tab" and not have to go back to the market for more cash to keep up the stock levels.

the 250,000 mediem term loan would help with that.

Hi, anyone got any news on this share, it's been very quiet lately. Been holding the shares for a while but the patience is running very thin. Is it time to move on ?

patients is needed with this one im afraid...hopefully the interims in may will tell us where we are...still waiting for the expected us deal and approval to sell there systems in china and hongkong,if you are getting itchy feet i suggest waiting till may.
