Andre,
Thanks for your response, but I'm still confused. The GBS trial was done by a 3rd party--Texas Medical Center-- and published in the premier OB/GYN journal, The Journal of Perinatology; and now the results of the complete trial have been submitted to a major journal. We can probably expect that study to be published as well.
So, why then are more GBS trials needed at other medical centers???
Interesting post from Yahoo Message Board
Question for the Board: Why the need for additional GBS studies?
By sunlover792 . Nov 23, 2012 2:35 PM . Permalink
Given that the first GBS study was published in The Journal of Perinatology, and the current one under review has a good chance of being published,e, why is there talk by persons such as Manley, that additional studies need to be run and published. Does every medical center have to publish its own study of GBS? I don't understand this reasoning and welcome comments.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Gramercy.MDHI, and China
Think about the recent PR from MDHI about responding to an RFP from China and Gramercy's experience in Asian markets. You're talking about 1/4 or so of the world's population here, and then throw in India for dessert, another billion or so. You don't think that's worth talking a shot on this penny stock???
Responses welcome.
Thanks kachingpdx.
The problem lies in knowing which ones are considered the major ones, comparable to The American Journal of Perinatology, for example.
In any case, barring any other major news announcements, it looks like we're waiting for at least another 2 months or so for the journal publications of the GBS and TB studies.
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY JOURNALS
In re-reading the August 21,2012 PR from Nanologix, I realized that this PR says the GBS and TB studies have been submitted to medical technology journals, which is different from medical journals, I would suppose. So journals such as the American Journal of Perinatology may not be the journals to be discussed here.
Does anyone know the names of some major Medical Technology Journals? Might be worthwhile to examine a few of them for possible submitted article turn around times.
Once again, comments welcome.
MEDICAL JOURNALS TURN AROUND TIME
If you Google the first Faro article published in The American Journal of Perinatology and look at the lower right hand column of the first page, you will see the following dates: received for review 4/6/11; accepted with revision, 6/4/11; and published online 8/4/11. The PR at Nanologix announcing this publication was dated 7/19/11.
The major events we're awaiting concern the publications of the GBS and TB studies, which were mentioned as having already been submitted in the August 21, 2012 PR by Nanologix. Given the above dates on the first GBS publication, it may not be until late November or early December for the second GBS publication to occur, if it was submitted to the same journal, and if the above dates are somewhat representative of their article turn around times.
Comments welcome.
COSTCO FALL PROMO HAS BEGUN
That's great news Sue and thanks for showing the ad. Is that the total ad? Because if so, there are only about 15 products shown and for Medipendant to be included is especially impressive.
Now, we'll see how those sales estimates hold up.
GCRC,
It is my understanding that pink sheet listed stocks are NOT REQUIRED to file public financial statements. Isn't that why they are on the pink sheets in the first place?
Where are you finding different requirements? Please post the link.
Thanks
QUESTION FOR THE BOARD
Can someone please supply the names of the companies that have issued sales reports after being on Costco for 3 months or so?
I asked this question some time ago and have not received the name of a single company. Critics keep asking MDHI to post sales figures for Costco and yet cannot point to a single company that has done what they request.
Still waiting.
DATES FOR COSTCO FALL PROMOTION JUST ANNOUNCED
In the 8-k filed with the SEC today, MDHI announced that the Costco Fall promotion is expected to run from mid-October through mid-November and will include the Medipendant.
Looks like that uncertainty has been cleared up.
ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THE BOARDS
Can anyone inform us about any company who released sales figures after being listed on Costco for 3 months or less?
A STILL UNANSWERED QUESTION: WHY DID COSTCO CHOOSE MDHI
While there are several thousand plus posts presenting MDHI as a disreputable and suspect, and possibly corrupt company, no one has supplied an answer as to why Costco would choose to deal with such a company.
Is it possible that Costco is impressed with their $750,000 credit line, efforts to clean up the balance sheet, and promises of future financial statements? Oh, I almost forgot-- and a state of the art, first in its class, 2 way technology???
Still waiting for responses.
REPLY TO ROBT ON COSTCO-MDHI RELATIONSHIP
What are you talking about? I can't follow your reasoning here. MDHI is on Costco's site and has been there for about 3 months now.
Doesn't that suggest that Costco has confidence in the product and doesn't see the company as disreputable or its management as suspect.
What are you trying to say?
REPEAT: WHY DID COSTC0 CHOOSE MDHI?
Still have not received a response to my question about why Costco would choose to do business with a company that the critics here consider totally disreputable with a possibly "corrupt" management.
Answers please! Or does Costco see something the critics don't?
In addition, to those constantly asking for Costco sales figures,it may very well be that Costco doesn't want its various companies revealing such figures, especially after only 3 months or so of the product being listed and advertised.
Does anyone know of any instance in which a company doing business with Costco publicly announced its sales figures after only 3 months? If so, please inform us.
If Costco includes MDHI in its upcoming Fall Promo, which accounts for 40% of its annual online revenues, we'll have another indicator of its confidence in the product and the company.
Flgtrgrl
Thanks for your response. I would add that MDHI has now been on Costco for 3 months or so and is slated to appear in the Fall Promo,according to a report recently filed with the SEC.
Can you please answer my question about why Costco would connect with a company whom the critics here see as financially irresponsible and possibly corrupt???
Costco is certainly not desperate for products to sell and would seem to be quite cautious and deliberate in its investigations of new products to take on.
THE COSTCO CONNECTION
By now there must be several thousand or more posts on this board continually making the same point 24/7--no financials, dilution, and a possible corrupt management.
In the wake of all this, I only ask one simple question: Why did Costco, the 2nd largest retailer the country with 60 million + customers. take on MDHI? If they had serious misgivings, they could have featured it as a LIMITED BUY, rather than a product now placed on their Health and Beauty homepage.
I am only in this stock becuase of the Costco connection, so I welcome responses as to hwy Costco would link themselves to what the critics consider a very disreputable company. And moreover, why would Costco plan to include them in its once a year Fall Promo, which generates about 40% of its online revenues?
HUGE SIZE OF MEDICAL ALERT MARKET
A few days ago a poster here had a link to an ABI Research Services Report from 7/13/12. This report states: ". . . monitoring devices will grow to more than 36 million units in 2017, up from under 3 million units in 2011. . ." That's a 12 fold increase in just 5 years!!
In addition: "Over the same time , home monitoring will almost double its share of the wearable wireless device health market to 22% from 12%.. . given the significant link between seniors and chronic disease management these services will increasingly be integrated with healthcare monitoring."
Anyone flipping this stock for trivial short term profits should think about the incredible market figures mentioned in this report by Jonathan Collins, principal analyst at ABI Research
If MDHI can soon achieve profitability, a huge market awaits this product.
COSTCO FALL PROMO
The Fall Promo has not started yet. The last email to 13 million Costco members containing MDHI is not the Fall Promo,which goes out to all 60 million members.
We will all know when the Promo starts. Looking towards early October. Stock price seems to be holding up well in the mid.005s.
Hoping for lift off real soon and a Millionaire's Ball next year!!
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE POSITIVES
1. Stock price has just about doubled in last several weeks.
2. Costco will soon be launching its Fall Promotion
3. CEO has filed papers with the SEC indicating company is close to profitability and will file financial papers by year's end .
4.Following the company on message boards is a source of endless fun and excitement!!
5.If the company can rise from its past ashes, the world will be filled with many new millionaires .
CAN'T HOLD ANY GAIN???
In the past several weeks the stock price has moved from the low .003s to the mid .005s and has been holding well above the low .003s for a few weeks now.
With the Costco Fall Promotion starting date not publicly announced yet, there's still time to place your bets on what might happen.
AND FOREIGN ORDERS
Are the orders with Denmark, Ireland, and other possible nternational clients not NEW DEVELOPMENTS
COSTCO--SOMETHING NEW
Is Costco and its 60 million members not a NEW DEVELOPMENT for MDHI, or am I missing something???
I haven't read anything about Costco being part of the past history that's been posted on this board.
BLINDED BY THE PAST
Is it possible to be so blinded by a company's past mistakes, that one loses the ability to comprehend new events?
The addition of Costco would seem to be a very major change and if the financial statements are made public by year's end, most of the major complaints about the company will have been addressed.
Place your bets.,
Nasdag Companies and MDHI
I have been following small companies on Nasdaq for many years now and I'd venture a guess that more than 50% of the listed companies are losing money while often selling for a few dollars or more.
So now we have MDHI and its forecasts of near term profitability by its Pres along with an upcoming (biggest of the year) Fall Promo by Costco.
This company is showing amazing responsiveness to shareholder concerns as per today's' Shareholder Letter and earlier PRs about upcoming financial statements. If those statements occur before year's end, along with achieved profitability, current shareholders will have a big winner on their hands. All the past problems and failed deadlines will become museum-like relics.
Costco Fall Promotion Noted on Yahoo Messnger Board/b]
A recent post today by totalmkview on the Yahoo MDHI Message Board says that the Costco Homepage notes that Costco will shut down for maintenance this Saturday till 5 am Sunday. The poster notes that this is what happened last year right before the Fall Online Promotion.
In addition another poster responding to this message. says that they called the store and was told it will start Sept. 16.
Food for thought.
Costco Fall Promo
No need for doomsday posts. September has just started.. We'll know by the end of the month at the latest,I would think, whether MDHI is in the Costco Fall Promo. Current and earlier promotions tell us nothing right now
Based on published statements by Mr. Adams, we'll also know before 12/31/12 if financial statements will be made public.
This stock could possibly be a huge success--a 10 or 20 fold multiplier if bought at these levels. Or we could lose it all. We'll have to wait and see. But the ballgame is far from over right now.
Rokk--Costco Fall Promo
Rokk-- Costco has a huge number of products--possibly thousands-- and does mailings throughout the year for various items. It may very well be the case that the items in the email you received are not scheduled for the Fall Promo and thus are being advertised now.
We'll know soon enough since various posters have noted somewhere around mid-Sept. for the Fall Promo.
sue,
I just clicked on your link and it takes me to the product page where MDHI appears in the 10th spot and the items are arranged by 5 star reviews.
I'm not seeing anything about best sellers. thanks for your help
uks,
Thanks for the reply. When you click on the link you provided it takes you to the productlisting page for Indep. Aids. The page says nothing about best sellers and the box provided at the top allows you to rank the items in terms of price, reviews etc,--but nothing about best sellers.
Am I missing something here?
Link to Costco Best Seller List
Sue, can you provide a link that takes you to the list.The one you provided takes you to the general Costco Listing for the MDHI product, not the best seller list.
Thanks for all your helpful posts.
PLACE YOUR BETS
With the Costco Fall Promotion almost here,we'll soon know which side prevails on the MDHI wager. And if the supporters are proven right, with profitability announced and financials filed, what will history make of all those thousands of 24/7 posts about dilution, no past financials,scams. corruption, etc???
Hopefully, whichever side loses will act like gracious losers and cheer on the victors. Just like in Cricket!
MORE ON COSTCO LISTING
Viewings on the Costco site continue to increase nicely--615 today and almost 50% up in the last few weeks!!
It's also important to note that Medipendant ranks in the top 10 of the Independent Living Aids category's highest consumer ratings out of 60 items.
It is also among the 10 most expensive items out of 60 in this category.
Costco has always had it listed as an ongoing product rather than a Limited Time Offer
WE WILL KNOW SOON ENOUGH WHO'S RIGHT
All this wasted time and energy about the company's past history. MDHI has publicly stated their plans regarding financial statements by year's end, if not sooner.
With the Costco FALL Campaign kicking off very soon,it won't be too long before we know whether shareholders or the 24/7 non-stop critics prevail.
WHY COSTCO
I have a simple question for the 24/7 critics: Why did the country's 2nd largest retailer--and one whose membership is considerably more affluent than Walmart's -- choose Medipendant?
floridagirl,
Costco Store Managers couldn't find out about a product they were interested in that Costco was carrying and listed on their website???
Please give us a break!!!
rokk,
Do you think Costco makes snap decisions about which products to take on? There was a TVv documentary awhile aback about how extensively Costco investigates products--in this case toys--before taking them on. If I remeber correctly, only about 10% or so of product requests were finally accepted by Costco.
You'll know soon enough whether MdHI is profitable--probably between October and Dec. of this year. It's sub penny pink sheet stock because of its past history--that's why it's trading at what some think is an undervalued price!!
If it doesn't acheive profitability in the near future,accept the loss and move on. I certainly wouldn't be posting 24/7 because of a company's past failures.
ALL THAT MATTERS
1. Costco spent 2 yrs checking out MDHI
2. Costco has it listed as an going product, not under Limited
Sales Item, which is where it would have been had Costco been concerned about its sales.
3. Costco is including MDHI in a Fall Promotion that accounts for almost 40% of Costco's revenue.Not all Costco products make it into the promotion.
4.Views of MDHI on the Costco site are almost 600 today and 6 fold increase in about 6 weeks.Views on YoutTube are 9395 0n 9/1.
5. We'll probably know by the end of September, end of the year at the latest whether MDHI is profitable, as MDHI has publicly noted that it will soon file financial updates.
6. All the past complaints about financial reporting, dilution, etc., may soon become an irrelevant history.
7. If I'm wrong, we will take our losses and move on.
[b]Updated MDHI Views on the Costco Site
As of today(8/30) it looks like the recent Costco mailing is having a noticeable effect on viewings. The number of views has jumped from 503 yesterday (8/29)to 557 today!! That's the largest one day increase I've seen in more than 2 months and it's a 6 fold increase in about 6 weeks or so.
Good signs for the Fall Costco Promotion.
Medipendant Viewings on Costco Site
In the last 6 weeks the number of views on the Costco site has multiplied more than 5 times--from 90 on 7/13 to 503 on 8/29.
Another promising sign prior to the Fall Costco Promotion.more than
That's the Yahoo MDHI Message Board I meant to mention.
