I have a feeling i have heard of this company before, pehaps someone can confirm?

[morose] 10/12/2001 00:24

Can't see there being two companies with exactly the same name especially as MDY trade in the USA.

[rayg] 10/12/2001 00:22

Surely the "Medisys", described above as a US company, has no connection with MDY which is a UK company?

[morose] 10/12/2001 00:01

As an MDY shareholder, I am concerned that the MDY price will take a dive if this lot goes ahead.
Obviously BGP was a right bodge up and if MDY inherit it, well who knows, but I reckon the shares could take a heavy fall.

This may explain Fridays fall ahead of the results on Monday - obviously this tie up is not going to go down well for MDY shareholders

I wish I had sold out on Friday - too late now

Brave punters would go in now because I believe a solution is coming soon.
Of course you take the risk but it could pay off mighty big DYOR.

In fact tomorrows price may tell the tale

PS
I am not in BGP and no one else would be if their major criterion was management trustworthiness and capability.

Brave punters would only go in now in hopes of a takeover rather than going bust - instinct

May as well now - can't do anything about it.
Results tomorrow.

You made me think - I haven't really much confidence in MDY management, they have let us down in the past, release very little news ie. poor communicators with the shareholders, so why am I in it??

Good question really - the only answer is I've watched it for a while having been in twice before, and rebought on hopes for the futura, nothing else.

I'm afraid I can be blinkered when chosing shares but gut feeling or instinct can be better than thorough research occasionally.

Many I have researched carefully have let me down badly in the past.

[rayg] 09/12/2001 15:12

Many thanks - pehaps we should just wait and see!

I have just done some (quick)research on these companies (epic=mdiyf/scep)and to be honest scep is a v/small company and I dont think has this type of money. it is possible that mdiyf has the money (i re-checked my research).please dyor but this is what i have found.
p.s. they were both on amex.

Gadge phoned in, reckons that the only tax breaks needed here is the removal of CGT for all the shareholders who braved it out and for those who bought in at 10p.Heres hopin...

[saturn5] 09/12/2001 10:40

Is it possible that a company who takes over BGP could get some TAX BREAKS ?

[stampcoverman] 09/12/2001 10:23

I'd say that whatever sums you do, the market makers have a mind of their own. They prefer to work on sentiment rather than the real world. They like to play poker with companies but they demand that they can see their hands.

I think the main stumbling block has been BGP's inability to manage itself and the share price will only go up when the city thinks it should.

But surely with the recent news it has got to be a lot higher on Monday morning.

Congratulation all brave holders!!!!
And many many thanks for those providing information. I can already smell the rise! Good luck everybody enjoy your holiday and watch this rise slowly slowly, but as I have worked out and also said before my shot-term target remains 40p level when everything is confirmed by BGP and maybe MDY.
Finally one simple calculation, today's market cap is about 12milion, if there is a rescue then MDY will pay a lot of their debt which stand at 105milion, so if MDY invest in BGP they are doing it because they think BGP is worth more then the 12milion value today, so my target of 40p means a market cap of about 38million. That is reasonable or is my target too low. Any views??? (DYOR)

tizo thanks for the above posts both sound pretty posotive to me happy to hold my shares for the rise next week

[stand by] 08/12/2001 18:51

Well done you information gatherers! Think we can relax and watch the rise from monday, good luck.

[saturn5] 08/12/2001 15:51

The deal is likely to include new shares awarded to the US company in exchange for debt. However I still think the shares will rise soon.

another top post
welyl dung thee grauniad twoo
much appreciated tizo
(as you can tell i'm in this one pretty deep)

[sirrah] 08/12/2001 10:38

top post tizo
looked at ft, mail and telegraph today
only mention of bgp in ft
short piece confirming bank extending date
mail mentions medisys chief backing of triplearc
which launches on aim on monday
mdy was mentioned in ft on friday as possible partner with bgp
and mdy reports on monday
so bgp would not be able to announce until mdy reports
is this synchronicity or pure coincidence

[sirrah] 07/12/2001 19:43

no
it's just been extended a further week
see previous posts and latest news
watch press this weekend

[alsfar] 07/12/2001 19:29

Considering that the banking extension has now expired,
isn't this rescue speculation rather academic?

[sirrah] 07/12/2001 17:11

looks better and all the brinkmanship - see previous post - good for interest
but will the price drop back as it did early part of this week
