Tristel Share Discussion Threads

RCTurner I don't think they need to comment on every misleading research but with the share price falling an announcement to clarify and even enhance or products was important to issue one.

[rcturner2] 10/6/2015 07:36

2torrance, I personally do not see the job of the BOD as responding to short term price movements, since these can happen at any time for any reason. I would rather they concentrate on running the company.

Most of what appears in the news is usually totally misinformed.

Yes great to see management fully up to speed in issuing an RNSNON, if only everyone was as responsive. Thanks again Piedro.

This is proving for now an extraordinarily useful board. I nearly sold my holding early Tuesday , not being clued up anough to spot the howling errors the market was making in equating Tristel with detergent wipes. At that point there were only two comments here from STEVENLONDON and Brummy but they were savvy enough to give me pause. Then more came in and I saw the truth and turned around and bought, not doing as well as some here but still hitting the mid 80s (and those in the know here deserved to do better than me anyway). One thing puzzles me though. Tristel must surely have known what was happening, they would have seen the fall and they would surely have known why. I can't believe this board had to tell them! Anyway it all ended pretty well for now.

Though one other point is that, as it climbed back up, the prices were all over the place. When it was still nominally 85- 87 on Level 2 TDI would not sell for under 89 despite repeated attempts. Barclays offered a far more reaosnable 86. I am still annoyed with mysaelf for buying from TDI at all even though it is for now above what I paid. Of course I am not blaming the brokers, another time it might well be the other way round but it still felt mean at the time.

Well done both Piedro and Tristel market relations folk.

[piedro] 09/6/2015 15:13

Thank you Mach100,

I've been out for a some hours but received a
brief reply from the company before the RNS
announcement.

Sometimes it pays to shoot low and off the mark.

:-)

Saucepan, I wouldn't underplay Piedro's email to the company either. As soon as he posted here his intention to email the company, the share price began to turn.

[saucepan] 09/6/2015 14:14

Good to see such a response so soon; the Company is on the ball.

[sailing john] 09/6/2015 13:59

Yes - something to add to their sales pitch in the UK

[deandong] 09/6/2015 13:57

News release - tristel welcomes research by Cardiff university ! :-D

[amencorner] 09/6/2015 13:18

Yes, topped up again today on the fall; seemed a good opportunity but time as ever, will tell.

[firtashia] 09/6/2015 11:21

Agree with your post Effortless. I use wipes in my job (not TSTL wipes) in order to help maintain an aseptic environment during manufacture. Its all about the training of the person using them and making sure that once trained, people continue to follow rigorous standards of aseptic discipline. Also refuse to use stops to avoid deliberate MM tree shakes & games/panic/euphoria caused by newspaper articles, Putin or the Greeks.

I also added four tranches on the spike down today. Reaction seemed way over the top based on an article of dubious relevance.

The comments that are being added - presumably by nurses - at the end of the article are encouraging too.

"Misleading headline....

It's not the wipes, it's the person using them.

Why would anyone clean multiple surfaces using the same wipe(s)"?

"I agree, misleading headline.....

This would imply that Infection control wipes are ineffective.... when only detergent wipes were tested.

Detergent wipes are not expected to kill microbes"!!

Well done, WJ...
I found the Nursing Times article, scratted around for cash, failed, and missed the boat you so elegantly caught.

[piedro] 09/6/2015 10:27

I've sent a copy of the article to the company
with some questions

[meijiman] 09/6/2015 10:21

I think the company should consider a statement on this matter as there is clearly quite alot of confusion. They may even stand to gain as inferior products fall foul of the testers!

[mach100] 09/6/2015 10:18

You're right, Piedro. It might have been wiped by one of Tristel's wipes to be fair. Quite impressive if so and will surely boost sales!

[piedro] 09/6/2015 10:12

Guess what ....


surfaces menu from the Tristel website

... the 'Wipes for Surfaces' page is blank

[brummy_git] 09/6/2015 09:54

Clearly the research has spooked investors this morning. Personally I think the article is positive for Tristel, since it criticizes standard "wet wipes" for spreading superbugs.

In contrast there have been scores of hospital trials and medical journals in the past, confirming the clinical efficacy of Tristel's "chlorine dioxide" wipes for killing bugs like C. difficile.

[saucepan] 09/6/2015 09:54

A very interesting development. It has clearly scared out a few holders and/or allowed the market makers the chance of a tree shake.

Wet wipes are generally good products, but the efficacy of these products can be improved,” he said. “Hospital staff must be educated to ensure these products are used properly and will not cause an unnecessary risk to staff and patients – a single wipe should not be used on multiple surfaces.”

What I take from this:

(a) "wet wipes are generally good products", therefore their use in hospitals should be continued.

(b) "a single wipe should not be used on multiple surfaces". In other words, when moving on to a new surface, use a new wipe: net results more wipes used and more sales for the likes of Tristel?

[burkedavid] 09/6/2015 09:51

"a single wipe should not be used on multiple surfaces." - doesn't take a genius to work that out.. I've added a few here.

[piedro] 09/6/2015 09:46

here's a link to the article in the Nursing Times ... + comments

Clinical detergent wet wipes spread hospital 'superbugs'
8 June, 2015
By Steve Ford


... and the study was carried out in the UK

[wjccghcc] 09/6/2015 09:45

Well I've added at 84p. The Tristel sporidical wipes documentation says:

"For improved safety, microorganisms are killed on the wipe so they are not simply transferred to another surface during the decontamination process."

I'd have thought this study is a good thing for their business.

[apad] 09/6/2015 09:35

"This would imply that Infection control wipes are ineffective.... when only detergent wipes were tested.

Detergent wipes are not expected to kill microbes!!"

[brummy_git] 09/6/2015 09:25

Yes agreed. The Daily Telegraph article seems to be criticizing the efficacy of standard "wet wipes", not Tristel's "superbug busting" chlorine dioxide wipes. May also hasten the approval process over in the US.
