RECOMMENDATION TO BUY!********


Mediwatch-A Synopsis:
Mediwatch was established in 1996 and has developed a range of specialist
medical equipment for the diagnosis of urological disorders.The group joined the
AIM in 2000 through a reverse into Prostcare plc,which at the time was valued at
8m.While the vast majority of sales were generated in the UK,there was a
substantial indirect export business involving a number of agents,supplying into
Europe,North America,Australasia and Asia,notably Japan.
Group revenues are set to increase rapidly following the acquisition of the former
Medtronic Urodynamis Division,which has introduced a fundamental presence in
North America.The deal was in 2006 with the sales division building from 2007.
With the inclusion of the Medtronic systems now owned by Mediwatch they now
can offer a 'One Stop Shop' for the diagnosis of various urology disorders with the
benefit of Mediwatch systems having the ability to electronically send data from the
various tests to a central data base!Oh and plus the added bonus of PSAwatch and
now PCA3plus!

More than 30 million PSA tests are performed annually in the USA alone!

Just for the record and to even things up,this is Treblewide's view (near end
of 2008):

"in short 3p by chrimbo and a real chance if they do not get rid of management they
will go into receivership.....when they bough the MDT business I said at the time it
must have been a bag of shite as they only paid buttons for it.......looks like that was
fairly correct......i feel sorry for shareholders"

Treblewide has been filtered from my eyes for his abuse,lies and general behavior but
it's a free country (I think) so do as you see fit.

interesting stuff from that article...very few men die from prosate cancer and it is not an agressive disease....treatment can be worse than the disease.......kind of suggests their whole business model is based on sand to me.......but hey who wants a balanced view.

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 00:31 - 76 of 1754
exercise and sex may cause a raised PSA...so you guys may have stumbled on a test for fit shaggers :-)

I am gonna name Me-Di-Watch

Gonna-go-bust-soon-iwatch

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 10:59 - 85 of 1754
minder...i do not make light of prosate cancer....show me one post where I do...i make fun out of this company yes but not the disease so wind yer neck in pal.

show me any trace of a profit and i will maybe change my mind

Treblewide - 18 Jun 2007 15:54 - 97 of 1754
minder made a small loss yes which I have more than made up for shorting it........and i guess your average holding is 3p.....aye right.

Aalso I closed out my short at 8p for a loss of the spread if memory serves me correctly.

currently short from 13.25....i thank you and goodnight

Treblewide - 23 Jul 2007 12:36 - 154 of 1747
more of the same......thank god i still do not own shares in this lot...will they ever
make a penny profit....looks doubtful......cannot even manage a small supply chain.


ect ect ect

with the last few posts:

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 09:16 - 1704 of 1754
you are a lunatic mick.....words fail me.

and ps i only post under treblewide on any financial web site....i know you cannot say the same......you have been calling this as a buy and nothing but a buy for about 7 years...it says it all really about your stock picking ability

i notice the downtrend ins now establishing itself....re-visit of the lows again by the looks of things

Treblewide - 30 Mar 2009 22:41 - 1712 of 1754
mick no i dont know what each product does...i dont think that is important...the numbers tell everything and even though you must spend hours on web sites searching for stuff that is not even related to MDW you fail to grasp the basics...they consistently lost money and now seem to be making some...my call to 3p was correct and i think if they had not got their shit together they could have gone under

i was not interested in them as a long play while they were loosing money depsite whatever rubbish you posted regarding piss sticks or whatever you bang on about.

and yes it was poor trading..having an avergae of 12 and averaging down to 6-7p while they were at 3p....is terrible trading...that cannot even be debated...the very fact you know so much about the products means you have fallen in love with this company......which is very dangerous when investing....

the numbers are the important things...i was right on 3p, the company is posting slightly better figures but we are in a bear market which has not bottomed yet so the price will fall further

you are a 1 trick pony that posts irrelevant links...dont bother to respond i can be bothered getting into a debate with you.....away and cut and paste some more flags

I have been chased from here and now ADVFN,has the boy got a problem?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 14:46 - 22345 of 22412


post 22342 is classic.....so mick advfn is not a good source when the consensus is sell?

begs the question why you spend so much time polluting it with your bull tripe?

question....so MDW share price has gone up, it has gone down etc etc...during all of that time has mick ever been able to find any subjectivity in his posting ie has he ever critisised anything?

i really think he may be getting paid by MDW...the whole thing is very bizzare.

mick i notice you referred to your threads as "promotion of Mediwatch"

can you confirm if you are getting financially rewarded by the company for this?

treblewide - 3 Aug'09 - 23:55 - 22371 of 22412


664k overdrawn....takes a long time to pay back at 39k profit every 6 months.

drawn down overdraft has increased by 170k and they paid 33k to service that overdraft and made 39k profit...as i keep saying my local fish and chip shop make more money than this lot.

margins have been squeezed...psa watch now off the agenda in terms of updates....not 1 single reason to buy and yet you lot think this share price will go up??.....am mystified why it would increase? genuinely why is this comapny under valued?? i cannot see it and dont bang on about fairfax saying they are going to make x amount...they have never been near to getting it right

if i were a holder i would be selling now at 6p if i could and buying back in the 2-3p range which the chart is saying is now a certainty....i expecta full year loss

i told you all to sell at 14p and at 11p (it is all there in black and white) and that it was going to 3 pence..i got abuse mick called me an idiot and suggested it was going to 50p......still a sell and my short (which was posted in real time over the road) is nicely in profit.

toodle pip...will log back in when it gets to 3p....

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 10:49 - 22379 of 22412


still time to get out at 6p.....dont understand why you would not sell at 6p when they are obviously going to half in value...if you are a long term mdw bull you can buy twice as many shares at 3p and maybe possibly one day see a profit on your holding?



treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22412


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 14:48 - 22387 of 22412


so question...is psawatch is so great...why has there been no huge surge in revenue figures from UK and Europe on the back of it being sold?

the whole reason a lot of you hold this is psawatch...it has not made them any money in Europe which could be argued when taken as a whole is not much smaller than the USA.....this company is not going to change overnight with US approval...at bets it would be a selling opportunity for long term holders

i really think a lot of you have to ignore some of the nonsense ramping going on here...the company is draining cash and there margins are reducing (despite this wonder PSA machine they have for sale)

i really think the future looks bleak for mediwatch...if someone can put in concise terminology why MDW is a buy i am all ears....dont point me at fairfax report...they are a bunch of clowns as well...that interim report is shocking and i mean really poor.

costs out of control...margins squeezed, cash running out...no real revenue growth, does this sound like a growth company to you?

sell at 6p


treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 15:50 - 22391 of 22412


god i have heard it all now...mick can you counter my points about declining margins and cash issues without nonsense posts about peopel having insider information...what a crock and what a clown.

so just so i have this straight in my head...when you put in effort to ramp these shares it is all great and you expect cuddles? (and if anyone disagrees you throw your toys out the pram liek an old woman)

when i put up a few posts to explain why i am short it is an organised attempt to get the share price down because i have insider inforamtion from the US?

were you the Iraqi information minister in a previous role? lol


treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:24 - 22409 of 22412


lol.....shares getting sold today at 5.75.....next stop 3p...

treblewide - 4 Aug'09 - 12:44 - 22381 of 22408 edit


last chance to sell at 6p for your shares folks




treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:29 - 22410 of 22412


i wonder what thier overdraft is limited to....1M?

if so they have 12 months of life left at current perfomance...how many of you hlders have considered the chances of them going bust?....i would not rule it out...would love to know how much further the banks will let them go into debt before they pull the plug

treblewide - 5 Aug'09 - 19:37 - 22411 of 22412


seriously if i were a holder i would look at the interims and ask how much longer can they go on burning cash.......and with all the averaging down the bulls have done over the years i bet some are more exposed than they should be....good luck...think you might need it




ANYWAY

Treble,
I don't see how taking the time to do a bit of research can be classed as 'dangerous' !

MDW have been a long term investment for me so naturally I take an interest.I have seen them grow from a small company to becoming a global leader in their field,as we see today.

The SP will reflect this achievement in due course,I have no doubt in that!

but obviously the majority don't share my opinion looking at the buying volume,never mind.

banjomick,
I don't think any share is seeing large buying volumes, however the size of buys over sells has been good in recent weeks and that is why the price is slowly ticking upwards, more to come I'm sure.

Evening Minder,
I was just having a little jocular moment with myself there,sorry.

Quite happy for the SP to slowly work it's way up giving people time to buy in if they wish to do so,rather than the sudden spikes we have seen in the past which are then sold into but each to their own.Saying that,it's enabled me to top up over the last few months and average down so should be grateful.

mick...no research is great and you are very impressive and diligent at it as can be seen from reading this thread...my point being that your view is very one sided...and you seem to be unable to be remotely critical or at the very least agnostic about anything MDW do despite them not providing any returns for holders in 5 years...i find that quite strange and dangerous to anyone trying to make money on the stock market

Evening Treble,
My view one sided,never!-lol

I am sure that I've been critical of MDW in the distant past or was that to negative posters?

you said:

"despite them not providing any returns for holders in 5 years"-that's utter rubbish as I for one could have sold at a profit many times,over that period if I so wished.......

MDW have been a long term holding for me (Ed-never!) and being such this thread portrays,or hope it does,my confidence in the company and in my opinion this is starting to bear fruit. dyor ect ect ect :-)

20 January 2005

In the six months ended 31st October 2004 turnover of #772,000 was more than
double that of the comparable period in 2003 (#385,000). Turnover in the period
was particularly influenced by two important issues:

* Increased sales to C R Bard under the long term supply agreement, including
sales to the French and Benelux markets.

* Increased sales to GE in the Australasian markets following the
establishment of the distribution agreement in late 2003.


Compared to:

4 February 2008

Preliminary Results for the year ended 31 October 2007

"In the year ended 31 October 2007, sales grew significantly to 5.68 million
(18-month period ended 31 October 2006: 2.65 million). The turnover in the
second half of the year being reported upon was 3.85 million compared to 1.83
million in the first half of the same year.

However, whilst the sales growth was strong in the second half, the planned
growth in the first half was, as reported at the interim stage, delayed as a
result of the practicalities of transferring, re-branding and integrating the
stock and equipment acquired from the urology diagnostics division of Medtronic
A/S and production shortfalls in a number of product lines."

Oh and thank you for the compliment re thread,Treble.

before the Tour highlights start,I don't remember reading this article before and it's of interest.........of course :-)

Update: Point-of-Care Testing

your piling in the info last few days.....and i feel mdw is about to surge once again

Evening scot,
Not intentionally piling in the info over last few days but have been a bit quiet before Monday as I had a cheque to clear,only for a grand but I wanted to buy a few more at this,what I would call 'silly prices'.Could be classed as a de-ramp!-lol.

Been doing a lot of digging for the GON thread lately but with their main operations now over in China/SEA it's a struggle to gain info.from over there especially not being fluent in reading Chinese!

go to a takeaway place and ask people there if they can translate for u

lol,I would if there was one in village.Use Google translate for most things but no good if you can't find what you want to read in first place!

I'm not that bothered if small investors (like me) want to buy in before the interims hoping for a small profit.It's the bigger picture that I am looking at!

MDW have and are building themselves up to totally obliterate the sales that MDT obtained within this field,it has taken time to regain the market share due to the latent period between MDT winding down and MDW taking over the reigns,as would be expected.

MDW bought out the MDT Urology line along with keeping their existing global distribution line and improved on it! MDW have successfully now rebranded the MDT systems along with making all systems compatible and so producing a 'one stop' company for the Urology practice!

The disposable side is unbelievable especially when you look at the 'fpds' site (I will post charts in a month or two) and extrapolate this to the global stage!

Buy,sell or hold I care not as it's all about MDW as a company and how far they are going to go and how far before another approach arrives!

I still think a placing is on the cards at +20p within a couple of months or so which will be fully sold and take the SP up to that price range.If the company is going to grow and achieve their full worth/potential I believe this is the only option! My view is that it gives the big players a chance to buy in and in volume!

This train of thought doesn't go down well as the dreaded word 'dilution' gets posted and panic sets in,which makes me lolloping lol.

If a 'placing of shares' does happen (i'm only guessing by the way) and gets fully bought into then yes there are more shares out there but the SP would suddenly rise so everyones happy.Where a 'placing' fails is that 'dilution' occurs and the company then fails to live up to the 'placing' ie future valuation of the company does not materialise!

What ever happens I've done my own research into MDW and very happy to hold and add,just my opinions so dyor ect ect ect

Afternoon all

Afternoon Dave,
Steady away :-)

Slowly steady rise odd .25 here and there till blast off :-)

I'd settle for a quick steady rise in .25p chunks if that's possible? :-)

Got watching the first series of 'Jam & Jerusalem' with the Mrs B,hillarious even on the seond time of watching.

Anyway,regarding 'PCA3Plus TM' and all will become clear within the interims I would imagine but I do like to delve! I have pointed the following out before:

"Bostwick Laboratories, Inc. Files For $100 Million IPO-Reuters

Tuesday, 11 Mar 2008 02:04am EDT

Reuters reported that Bostwick Laboratories, Inc. is planning an initial public offering (IPO) of as much as $100 million in common stock. Banc of America Securities LLC, Wachovia Securities, William Blair & Co, and Cowen & Co will underwrite the IPO. Bostwick Laboratories, Inc. is seeking a Nasdaq listing under the symbol 'BOST'. "

As far as I'm aware Bostwick Laboratories haven't floated as yet and not sure how long it takes or if they have decided not to now for what ever reason! Not sure how long the process normally takes.......anyone?

I may be looking at this all wrong so please dyor but as I see it that would be "as much as $100 million" which could be used to expand their activities outside of the USA and their one lab in UK! (may not work like that though)

All ifs and buts I'm afraid........but could this be a long term view in a partnership forming between Bostwick Laboratories and MDW on the global stage?

As far as I'm aware and from Minder's very informative posts a few weeks back the PCA3 test IS a lab based test and this being so the only way MDW at the present time can take advantage of any PCA3 testing is via London/UK! If we look at Europe as a whole there are already PCA3 test available locally via labs so MDW can't be expected to make in-roads there or in the rest of the world for that matter!

So,from the above this leads me to think there is much more to the 25th June 2008 announcement RE "Mediwatch to distribute ground-breaking molecular test for prostate cancer" to follow!

http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200806250700074597X.html

MDW now have a global distribution network so this may have some bearing on why Bostwick Laboratories are involved with MDW.


This is of interest especially the vid:
