Horray the freefall has stopped. You got you wish powerbooks. Nearly got to 850. May yet happen though. Have a great Easter everyone.

Doesn't really mean much IMO RFV. Possibly a blip-ette which presents a nice buying opportunity or long entry point.

[rfv] 10/4/2006 14:02

Anyone know what has been behind the steady decline - other than powerbooks wishing it to happen

[markth] 24/3/2006 10:49

I've no position (other than a few thousand in my ISA) at the moment. Looks like it could go sideways for a while but medium term it's going to keep going up. I think the FTSE is overbought and will correct in the summer; defensives like this will benefit as folks switch sector to reduce their risk profile. Be happy to hold; not sure I would add or buy here though.

I'm not a holder but if I were I wouldn't even consider selling just now; imo it looks like making new highs and is very much still in the uptrend.

dyor but i'd hold.

Here we go again. I do understand sets now but even so this volatility is difficult to fathom. On the strength of this morning would you sell or buy markth?

[markth] 23/3/2006 10:27

This is a SETS stock = no MMs.

[rfv] 23/3/2006 08:35

This is doing my head in! What was the point of yesterday's drop only to see the same rise today. MM's playing games I suspect.

[royalt] 22/3/2006 10:40

or could it be that its gone ex-d?!!!

[daveperry] 22/3/2006 10:35

Someone mentioned a JV with Bioprogress.

[rfv] 22/3/2006 08:31

What's causing the volatility this morning?

Doh! You are of course right, it is Celltech, not Shire

[aclark9201] 17/3/2006 14:58

...and whats the connection with Shire?

Hi, been buying these over the last week. worth a look, with a lot of news to come- Mediwatch MDW.

Portable patient monitoring, diagnostics

A new product that combines POC testing with portable ultrasound imaging was recently released in Europe by Mediwatch (Warwickshire, UK). The company's One Stop Prostate Assessment System consists of the Bioscan analyzer that performs PSA testing at the point of care and is wirelessly connected to the Multiscan 8/15 portable ultrasound system as well as the Portaflow urine flow/bladder volume analyzer. The system provides an integrated analysis of urological status, including guidance of needle biopsy procedures to check for prostate cancer in patients with suspect PSA readings. The PSAwatch PSA test is performed in 10 minutes at a cost of EUR 6, and requires a 35 microliter fingerstick blood sample. The Multiscan ultrasound analyzer, which provides high-resolution images of the prostate at 7.5 MHz and is more compact than competing portable ultrasound systems, is priced at EUR 15,000. The One Stop system is undergoing review by the FDA, and once cleared for marketing will be introduced in the U.S. by Mediwatch's partner, Medtronic.

zzaxx99 - I thought that CDP870 was THE drug of Celltech's portfollio not Shire's.
I can't remember who they merged with but I do seem to remember there being a slight glitch at phase 111

[rfv] 09/3/2006 09:22

Excuse my ignorance but do the frequent 20 'bot' sell orders mean that someone is trying to keep the price down?

[zzaxx99] 07/3/2006 08:05

Can anyone give (or point me to) an up to date state of play on CDP870? I haven't followed Shire for years, and the last I heard it had been returned by Pfizer post-merger with Pharmacia.

I'm not looking for potential value to Shire etc, just how near to market / who has it licensed (if anyone) etc - it's on behalf of a family member who has enquired about it, as it is a potential treatment for their medical condition.

[markth] 02/3/2006 10:09

Oh yes.....no position in ANY UK stock at the moment. Market has a strange feel to it right now.

[rfv] 02/3/2006 09:51

What's happening. Hope that you have closed out markth.

[markth] 28/2/2006 16:56

I am here. Short from ~898.

[rfv] 28/2/2006 15:12

Anyone still there? What about you powerbooks are you still short? Anyone know the reason behind the sudden rise against the general trend.

[rfv] 23/2/2006 12:13

SEEMS LIKE A BIT OF A CONFUSED REACTION TO THE RESULTS. HOPE THAT EMMINS SHOWS AN AIR OF CONFIDENCE THIS AFTERNOON.
