Anybody follow this one ?

like i said before if this one goes down further take it as an opprtunity to top up ..least thats what i feel ..

just to refresh our memory here is the last RNS re the FDA approval ..the important info is in the last paragraph and i quote from there..

"We are in advanced stages to conclude a distribution agreement with a large, well-established international company that is already selling into closely related markets" ..so i for one not yet concerned about the currrent downward pressure on price ..just a matter of time b4 details r released .. i'm holding as long as it takes.

Mediwatch Secures FDA Marketing Approval for Portascan(R)

Rugby, UK - 20 January, 2004 - Mediwatch, the innovative UK manufacturer of high
tech screening and diagnostic systems for urological disorders, announced today
that it has received marketing approval from the US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) for the Portascan(R) portable bladder scanner in the USA.

The state-of-the-art portable diagnostic will be used to screen patients
suffering from prostate and bladder disorders, incontinence and those requiring
catheterization. Doctors' offices, outpatient clinics, hospital emergency
departments and nursing homes are all potential users of the Portascan, where
its level of accuracy gives it a major advantage over its competitors This
approval provides Mediwatch with access to the lucrative US bladder screening
market, currently valued at between $15 and $20 million per annum.

Commenting on this development, Philip Stimpson, CEO, said, 'Breaking into the
US market represents a significant milestone for Mediwatch. We are in advanced
stages to conclude a distribution agreement with a large, well-established
international company that is already selling into closely related markets.
Although this is our first venture into the US, we have already signed similar
agreements with multi-nationals to distribute our products across Europe.'

many people must be losing a lot on this one already. i noticed people on this buying at 13-14 p levels. you have to sell at 11p already.
i'm still going to sit this one out just like i did with RTD. if u believe in something, then stick by it. the day traders stuff up small cap shares like this one but long term they cant do anything.

could not agree more scotinvestor. This is a good company and will recover I am sure. I will be sitting this one out.

I agree folks,

The brokers say that the MM's are collecting as much stock as they can because they know that they're going to sell it by the bucketful when the distribution deal is announced. This is a golden opportunity to buy in before the next massive surge.

I hope it keeps at this level for the next couple of trading days so I have the cash to top-up, although judging by the current market trends, it wouldn't surprise me at all if an RNS pops up tomorrow or Monday and scuppers my plans.

Typical - the price is starting to rise again (albeit very slightly), I'd say it looks like an evens bet on news early next week.

Yup nice to see them start to rise again.

Cardinal Health maybe ?


Cardinal Health Inc. has promoted George Fotiades to the newly created position of president and chief operating officer.

Fotiades was president and chief executive officer of Cardinal Health's Life Sciences business since 2000, and now all of the company's operations will report to him.

Company founder Robert Walter retains the titles of chairman and CEO.

"With George at the operational helm, my focus will be on corporate strategy, capital deployment and leadership development," Walter said in a press release.

Cardinal hasn't had a president since John Kane retired in 2000. The company eliminated the title following his retirement.

Dublin-based Cardinal is a global provider of goods and services to the health care industry.

James Millar, president and CEO of Cardinal's Healthcare Products and Services unit, has been transferred to the new position of executive director for strategic initiatives. He will advise Fotiades and report to Walter.

Also, Ronald Labrum was appointed president and CEO of the newly created Integrated Provider Solutions organization, which will hold Cardinal's medical products and services, clinical consulting and services and specialty distribution.

these have been nudging up nicely for the last few days .. thought bring thread back as i feel it won't b long before the details of the contract is released.

Kantona,

I agree, looks as though we're getting very close now. 20p could be on the cards very soon.

OG

fingers crossed,20p sounds vg

Right lets hope we get the news on a good day on the market.

cheers GF.

i dont think we will get news until end of March or thereabouts. However, i am happy to wait. Price will stay around current prices in last few weeks.

PS: In case no-one noticed my prev posts, i know of a very close source up here in Aberdeen and BG Group are in final throws of being taken over by Total. Both are big exploration companies worldwide offshore. Chairman of BG bought 28,000 shares at around 80000 recently and results were excellent. City dont know about this REAL bit of awesome news. A giveaway to me this one.

the chart is showing good upward trend now after the lows of yesterday .. has good support at the current levels ..

Can't see it. Getting nervous! where's that deal?

Anyone with any news??????.

cheers GF.

I doubt if the deal will be announced before the end of March, though sometime in April will have allowed plenty of time for the US distribution co. to get down to business after their board changes.

MDW is a snip at these prices and the price is starting to rise again. Don't hang about if any of you folks are thinking of snapping a few more up at the right price.

The company appears to be gradually getting more and more of a following amongst investors. A large rise when the deal is announced will help put them on a lot more radars so should bode well for the short term.

Long term - don't forget all that news we've still to look forward to :))

Cheers
