The engines have fired up at last for MDX. ( BPRG ) At long last they are being recognised for the force they will become over the next two years. On the cusp of disclosing huge revenue-earning deals with Global pharmacists. These have been hinted at as being unrolled before the years end, but may be in the next days.You still have time to get in at a bargain-basement price before the SP takes off for real shortly.

I see that slimthru has the sold out sign on the boots website.

boots -slimthru

Distribution problems I guess.

DIL, Have another mince pie!
I would like to know what the ballance of shorts are at the moment.

I think like TAN many sitting on decent profits have cashed in due to the choppy waters the market are in at the moment. I wish I had and then had enough sense to hold and buy back at the right price.

The products that MELDEX are pushing have a huge potential and the method of delivery are advanced. If I had cash I would top up, but not sure at what price.

From fundamentals a buy from charts suggest it could drop back to 48p. but the problem at the moment is whether there are any lying Bs still on the board. I don't think so.

For the time being I am going to hold and epect the price to be above 120p later this year!
Good luck.

PS I think there "should" be a weekly list of shorts and longs on all small companies.

Hi Fred :-)

The likely cause imo is that companies try to minimise stocks at year end and therefore only order barely enough to manage on. Manufacturing shut down for a period of around 10 days at Christmas and therefore new supplies would not be immediatley available (manufacturer would also run down stocks at year end).

The above is done for accounting purposes and has f*ck all to do with the real demand for the product.

On the other hand Boots may have decided to stop stocking it.

Dil
really,
Peak time for Slimming products is this time of year. I was in my local boots on Friday and there were 16 packs of the large boxes of slimthru and today there were 4 so the promotion is going very well based on my crude observation.

they are also selling in Tesco and holland & barrett.

Anyway this is a very small part of Meldex and the strong trading update due within weeks should show how rapid the growth is.

Yes really greedybas .... welcome to the real world. Boots would be more interested in stock turnover ratios , turn rates etc than being over stocked with anything especially non essentials at month end time whether in store or online.

Dill, Just a thought:- Wouldn't some Slimthru be better for you than another Mince pie.

If you do go down to Boots you can get me a supply of Prozac. I may help me a little when I look at my portfolio.

8-)

Dil
retailers reduce/increase stock per product type. It is not a case of the calendar year end = run down all stock.

I would say boots reduce chocolates, perfumes, gift sets..etc
increase slimming products, fitness aids, cough flu medicines,....

anyway slimthru is a small part of meldex and Dil and Goldfinger are either shorting this or are looking for a cheaper entry point!!! or else why post here. Nothing they have posted has been of substance.

Dil rarely posts anything of substance, you have to read between the lines ;)

Luckily for me Fred I don't like mince pies :-)

greedybas .... thats what they all said years ago at 140p when I said it was worth 50p tops , go read the threads.

To keep Dil happy!

They must be reading your post.

This is about the only good news I jave had today.

Meldex Intl says Dexo Italy to launch 7 new products in Q1

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Meldex International PLC said its Dexo Italy operation will launch seven new products in the first quarter, which will bolster its existing product portfolio of prescription products licensed from GSK and Pfizer.
The specialty pharmaceutical and healthcare company said together the new product launches in Italy are expected to contribute revenues in excess of 12 mln eur over the next three years, in line with the current business plan to develop the Dexo operation.
Three of the products have been licensed from AD Pharma including liver detoxicant Atox, cholesterol drug Antisterol, and Floract, which provides a rebalance of the intestinal flora.
Dexo will also launch four products currently marketed in France, the group said. These include artificial saliva Hypozalix, Ronflux - to help reduce snoring, Calme - a drug to promote balanced serotonin levels and Gel Circulatoire to help soothe muscle cramps and rheumatic pains in the legs.

but shares still down.........any time good news on mdx, then shares get stuffed.

no news for ages and shares go from 40 to 94p.

LOTS OF GOOD NEWS for last few weeks and guess what......sp down to about 50p

very strange

Get me a bottle of the liver detox stuff Fred.

And a good dose of Ronflux, I'd have thought.

Price drop probably in response to general market conditions and panic.

I think or hope with some companies and especially relatively small ones, if you time it correctly, and jump, you are either bloody clever, inside dealing or probably lucky, sometimes it is better to sweat retracements out, if the fundamentals seem OK.

The problem is reliable figures.

In spite of Dil I will hold for 120, which may be 6mths away.

the market has held up reasonably well recently.....in fact it did well over festive break.........when mdx was droppping.

insider dealing is the key........and we all know FSA is toothless.

UK seems to be getting more corrupt as the years go on......and yes that does include the inland revenue

Well mdx held up well with a 1/2p gain while most were falling today.

Dil
The comany has changed massively under RT and I would say that he under plays and over delivers. Whereas in the old days GH was all about potential for deals and was held to ransom by the phamas. Mdx now is not reliant on one deal and will soon be announcing profitability, in there "strong" trading upate to b announced in january.

Also did you notice today that Barry Muncaster (Acquisetek) has increased his holding to over 8% in a month. Why would a founder of the company keep accumulating if this was not going places?

Well the company who has been dumping millions over the last month is doing a lot better than the founder that has been buying them so that tells me he's a chump.

Share price down 40%+ in same time period so that suggests he really does know f*ck all about the stock market.

On top of BM's tranch there have been some large buys, not the sort of investment that casual day traders would play with on spec. My guess is that there is some significant news to come.
Dil, you may be right about BM but he is a very wealthy one.

Yeah but he could have been doing better.
