Now this looks to me a company growing rapidly.The more I look into MDY the more confident I become of the potential rewards.These will not be instantaneous but will come over a period of time.Look at the turnaround in those figures posted above.Now that was in a recession.

I have traced back all the trades for the last 3 weeks (ADVFN doesn't store data any further back!) in MDY & AHT and would appreciate comments on my findings:
MEDISYS:

w/c 1/9/03: MMs bought more stock than they sold every single day of the week. At the end of the week they had accumulated more than 6 million shares!

w/c 8/9/03: By Wednesday, MMs had reduced their surplus by 2 million shares. Then they dropped the price and bought the shares back again (making a handsome profit), finishing the week with >6 million shares in MDY.

w/c 15/9/03: Mon-Wed, MMs accumulated even more stock & by close on Wed had accumulated 8 million shares (since 1/9/03).
Thur-Fri, they upped the price and sold off 2 million shares (again making a handsome profit!)

The conclusion I draw from this is they're expecting some good news from MDY and hence a huge demand for MDY shares & presumably we can expect a price rise so that the MMs can flog their

Old research note but a very interesting read.

Not looking good for the morning.

Load of the preverbial my friend.

Screaming buy at 15p

Hold on to your hats guys.Comments from analyst at Nomura in today's Telegraph would suggest that MDY "are a definite buy at this level" i.e.15p.I've bought in lower again today and look forward to an early announcement on Smith's replacement as MDY's distribution agent.

MDY has taken a big drop again today. Has it bottomed out yet. And at what price will it rise to when it dos start to go again. I don't know much about this company apart from recent news with Smiths

Also something to think about....

Would the FDA have approved FUTURA if it didn't work ?

Dryden Financial

LONDON, September 29 (New Ratings) - Analysts at Dryden Financial issue a "buy" rating on the Smiths Group (SMIN).

In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that although the company had planned to promote the Medisys safety syringe in the US market, the actual customer performance results belied the test trials. Despite the acrimonious parting of ways, neither Smiths nor Medisys stands to lose, the analysts say. Dryden Financial believes that both companies have bright prospects.

Looks terribly oversold;

Agree MM and hope so!....Dipped my toe in at the bell...22k @ 13.94p and agree cerainly not a one tool company.:)
Definatly room for plenty of upturn and looks way oversold after the Smith's rumble......though always difficult to call the bottom....lets give her some time and see what Santa brings.

Cara wish you good luck.The rally today was very unexpected so i wonder what started it.

Well MM "value" comes to mind,but as stated earlier always impossible to call the bottom of the graph...and prepared to give it time comfortable in the knowledge that it does look oversold.But mainly because I feel that the Smiths issue has blinkered many and an example of this is the deal with Wal-Mart announced recently,about the blood glucose monitoring system...text below for potential buyers...


LONDON (AFX) - Shares in Medisys moved higher after news that the company has signed up US retailing giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc as the partner for the launch of its 'Flight' blood glucose monitoring system.

The group said Wal-Mart will introduce the system at the annual meeting of the American Association of Diabetes Educators in Salt Lake City on Aug 6.



Certainly they do not come bigger than Wal-Mart in retailing and whist I expect a few rallies feel this offers great value and the message seems to have got accross in the last 20 mins.

Regards..
C

ps nice spread as well for a recovery stock...

Think we could see a further rally on Monday opening.

Very important.Please listen.

http://www.wallstreetreporter.com/profiles/Medisys.html

hope i very much that your faith in this company will win me over has i have been very disapointed so far????????????

Had a long hard think about a few comments made on this thread and wanted to post a response,

Someone on ADVFN mentioned that Becktons have captured the US market. Is this because they were the first to address the needlestick problem and everyone jumped in ? My thought is probably yes.

Now if there was not an alternative ,bar NMT, but that alternative was higher in price do you change ? NO

Now enter MDY with a comparable if not superior product. You evaluate. You accept and then you look at the price. Hey it's less expensive !

OK we know here in the UK that the NHS is looking at every way to cut back on expenditure and let's presume that it is the same in the US.

Now you have a company offering a comparable or superior product at a discount to what you are presently purchasing at ! What do you do ?

Now on a adifferent subject it is a well known fact that some investment companies will actually short a share to drive the price down and also the weeeker holders ! Is this what has been happening to MDY ?

There is also other market manipulation going on in different area's. As an example it is pure supposition that the MDY sales force will not be able to cope with sales of the Futura syringe so the analysts get worried. Hang on they never forcast that sales of the syringe would have any effect until 2006 ! Now MDY are saying sales will commence Q2 Fy2004 ! So they are taking not effect 2006 sales in 2003 and not looking at the facts on offer. Interesting.

Now take the Walmart deal. No one has really commented that the true sales generated from this will be realised next year. Everyone is interested in the Syringe which will not impact sales until 2006 but is going to be sold in 2004 !

Does it not sound that something is a little wrong here ?

My thoughts but IMO a BUY at these levels for the Future !!!!

well OK so it's Oversold? (opinion here) -Really?
Is the dividend so good that people are prepared to wait for the icing (if it ever comes). Let's not forget that a safety product must work every time - there really is no room for failure - and so why has the needle not been delivered - it can't be the tube, or the needle nor can it be the design of the plunger - all easy pieces to make - It is the retractable bit (silly me!!)- that's the difficulty and the time just keeps on rolling.
Had we listened to the company; the World would be awash this time last year - so did Smiths really expose a truth?
If the answer is yes then all the above sits well with the Smiths opinion - the product isn't going to happen just yet - and maybe not at all - don't think of this as the icing - it could be the Downfall = and who wants to be holding that butt-ugly baby when it's exposed to the world - in the heart of "I'll sue you Baby" culture?

As a past and (lesser now) holder MDY does seem to have a goodly Range of products - but if were the top marketeer I'd be wary of wrecking the status quo - like boring a hole in your life-boat ...to keep the inside dry (until required for use, etc.).
The current situation could be make or break for MDY - if Futura isn't launched, another new product can come along and keep the price sub-20p IMHO, maybe more . If the needle is marketed, the price will double with fanfare and noise ( this share was over 1 when Futura was the future!). -
But if there is a problem, delays in manufacture, a faulty batch (even), a law-suit against them -the price will once again test sub-10p ( didn't they get to 4p?)- and all those who buy-in near 20p will see their investment shreaded - so what's the alternative?

Watch and wait:
Hope the needle is quietly forgotten - or sell it to an American manufacturer on a Royalty basis - income stream for no risk.
A new product will come soon enough, without the baggage of a distressed mistress (wash my mouth) and happy times will be restored and maybe, just maybe there will be a dividend before this decade draws to a close. If there is any hint of a "fund-raising" forget it!
My advice to MDY is: Drop the US market with the needle - maybe a home-market until production is easy - but let's squash the idea that there is a bonansa "over there".
