I currently own about 120000 shares of MSITF and plan to buy more.
If you track this stock you will see many PR's outlining all of the testing and deliveries they have made for test kits.
I have been a bit worried because the price has been dropping. I called Robert Talbot and asked if MSITF would be issuing any financial information on the company. (I really didn't expect to get him but he answered the phone). He said they were about 10 days out from posting some financial information. (I did not ask what or if it was positive or negative...)
I asked how much a kit costs basically he said it depended on if you were a Government Customer, Wholesaler or Retail purchaser. I just asked for rough numbers... He said for the Government orders the costs were about $3.75-4 a unit. Retail could be $13-19...
In our local pharmacy a similar product is about $65 a pop.
I plan on adding to my position. Thought I would pass on the info.

I listened to his on line interview at http://www.ceocast.com/index.cfm about 6 weeks ago. The cost to produce a kit is about $1.70 each, if my memory is correct. I purchased another 25,000 shares today at .0075, my original position was 20,000 shares at .0092. So, I'm in for 45,000 ar .0083. Everything is positive except one long posting I read that branded Talbot and his cronies as conmen. You read so much good and bad on these message boards that it is difficult to discern what is real and what isn't. All I know is I watched the price go from .008 to .0179 within a month or so. That I know is real. Does it matter if it's smoke and mirrors, if you get in and out with a profit. The negative post only turned this from a longterm hold to a shorterm play, in my mind.

I only wish I did, or can do as well as you have. If I were you I would just keep doing what I was doing that allowed me to better than 10 times my intitial bankroll. If it was following your own research, or lstening to others here, or a combination of both, get back to your early ways.

I bought some MSITF this morning at the open. Has enyone else bought any today? i bought in 2 different accounts and it is showing up as no shares having traded today. I thought todays news about the plant in China being a 50/50 deal with them supplying the bldg and the land and MSITF supplying the trainging and product was huge. Please post if you have added shares. Thanks-Debi

Thanks Will, I use ************* time and sales and nothing is showing there. It may be because it is foreign, I will have to check out the next time I buy a foreign stock. GLTA-Debi

A joint venture with a China company to produce the test kits means a lot. The cost will be reduced dramatically, and the China approval is very close.
While the company is building its business, I am loading more at dip.

This is the first penny stock I purchased, back in mid to late Jan. I only purchased 20,000 shares then, and bought more Thrusday, March 18. I'm in for 45,000 at .0083. I think I will sell 25,000 at .016 and keep my original 20,000 as freebies. It will hit resistance at .017 - .018, and maybe pull back then for another buy opportunity.

Hi Will, Thanks, I did have a good day, Nice spikes on these. I had purchased MSITF before at the high of about .0192 or so am glad it is moving again on such good news. The bad reputation of some of the players has kept the price down. The products llok good and they will probably make money in spite of themselves. Also being in China will be good for this Company-they won't slap their wrist if they are caught doing wrong-They will beat the crap out of them. Maybe the SEC could try that if they are really interested in getting everyone to play fair. -Not really proposing that but if April 1 is another joke on us I might be serious. -Debi Shadow, It sounds like you are doing pretty good in this one, what else do you like. My largest holding is LBTT-I really like it and hope it delivers some big news soon. I also like PLKC and have some of that too.GLTA-Debi

I like LBTT 170000 MSITF 120000 (trying to add another 60,000)
I have done pretty well with GMED but think this has run it course so I will be taking profits.
I like the concepts of PDNW owned companies. So I am long - will add to my 15000 shares.
I am intrigued by PCRC which is suposedly has the same CEO as LBTT. I have 300000 shares. (I have not been able to confirm the LBTT CEO connection)
CVGYQ - Bought this based on info that they were emerging from Bankruptcy. I have not confirmed that the shares will stay intact... but I have 150000 just in case they do. This will move quickly or I will lose everything. So a gamble play.
I have also been tracking the 1k to 100k .com site so I own SVNX which has been down 20% since my purchase.
Been getting rid of my losers... started with 2k about 18 months ago with a goal of doubling every 6 months. Currently at 22K. High of 28K at the beginning of the year.
Trying to reach the next milestone by summer 32K. Then 64K by Winter.
It was easier to turn 2k into 4k than it is to take 16k and turn it into 32K.
If you lose 2k you say oh-well. If you lose 16K then you say ouch! Not to mention that I owe capital gains on $8500 this year.

News today. Don't know if it enough to move it like the China joint venture news did.

Shadow, It sounds like you buy similar stocks and have a similar experience I doubled my trading portfolio Oct-Feb with a lot of LBTT hit a high of about $28K and watching it trickle away. I have a lot of CTKH and shells like PCRC, CYII, TLXX so I think when they move it will be nice. I had a little WNMI and WLDI so everyday there is something good happening. I am really waiting for LBTT to pop. I also have PAVP and will hold till it goes boom or bust-frustrating but I think it will be OK-if not someone should go to jail. GLTY-Debi

WWJD- I also have LBTT, MSITF, PAVP, USCI, NNCO, PALR, CLSI. I tried to get into WNMI this morning, but missed it, and didn't have the stomach to chase it, should have, but discipline is discipline. I put CTKH on my watch last night, but didn't buy today, maybe next pull back? I also have THTHF on watch. Now for the big difference, I AIN'T DOUBLED NOTHING LOL. Started in late Jan. and am about even, still getting the feel for this game.

Medical Services West Nile Virus Test Kit for Animals Nears Completion Wednesday March 24, 9:02 am ET
EDMONTON, Alberta, March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF - News) is pleased to announce that in conjunction with the Companies continued work on their VScan rapid test kit for West Nile virus in humans, the Company is also nearing completion of a second, free-standing test kit for detecting the virus in animals. It is anticipated that the animal version of the test kit will be ready for regulatory testing within 60 to 90 days. ADVERTISEMENT
In-house testing to date has been encouraging and has demonstrated the ability to detect the virus in certain animal species at a very early level of infection. This was determined through the detection of the IgM class of antibodies which are present at an early level of infection. The same kit will also detect the IgG class of antibodies which are present in the blood after the infection reaches a more chronic level. The kit has also demonstrated an ability to detect the virus in dead animals where there is no degradation to the sample quality.
The Company believes that this test kit will provide Veterinarians, Conservation Officers and other animal health care experts an innovative, accurate and cost-effective diagnostic tool. Market studies have also shown that individuals with animals are also interested in testing their pets. It will be particularly beneficial where the rapid detection of the West Nile virus in animal species is a necessity to starting a successful vaccine treatment and/or where existing testing methods are very expensive and complex.

Talked to Robert Talbot today... once again concerned about the stock price...
Asked when the Financial information would be hitting the streets.
He said that they needed more time to gather ?level 2? not sure if I got this portion correct...
Asked if he would tell me the number of OS. He said that he could not tell me that information until it was released to the public.
He said that they would be getting the information out later this week or early next. Then he said that early next week would be when I should look for it...
Still trying to figure this stock out...
I am hoping it will do well and have added to my holdings now 180,000 shares...
I have checked their pages and have seen the financials in the past. I have also checked the Canadian SEDAR pages as well and looked up the company. Really not sure what to think... all comes down to the financial statements.
Last year they were stating almost 800M outstanding shares. At one point they were stating no debt with assests of 12M.

I sold the shares I bought cheap at a profit and am holding the shares I paid more for. I don't post on this stock too often because without a share count it is hard to value. I think they have some good products-hope we can make a significant profit. GLTA-Debi

Medical Services Completes Major Test in the United States Wednesday April 14, 8:31 am ET
EDMONTON, Alberta, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc (Pinksheets: MSITF - News) is pleased to announce that it has completed a major test of its HIV 1&2 test kits in the United States. The samples used in the test were obtained geographically from all over the United States. The independent testing was done by an FDA approved U.S. laboratory. The test results in terms of specificity and sensitivity exceeded 99%. The independent laboratory has indicated that when using serum as the testing medium that the VScan HIV test kit detected the HIV virus earlier than any other test kit. Whole blood, serum and plasma can be used with the VScan HIV test kit. Very few of the existing test kits currently available can use whole blood and if they can use whole blood they certainly are not as accurate as the VScan test kit.

Demand for the VScan Dengue Fever Kit Increasing Thursday April 22, 7:07 am ET
EDMONTON, Alberta, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF - News) wishes to announce that interest in the VScan Dengue Fever kit has increased dramatically. The cases of Dengue Fever are increasing significantly in the Southern United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. The Company has shipped kits to three countries to date and will ship to another 4 before the end of April. The VScan Dengue Fever test kit has an accuracy of 99% in under 20 minutes. The Company licensed the patented reagent on an exclusive basis for certain areas from the United States Naval Research Center for a period of 10 years and combined the reagents with our existing proven technology used in the VScan rapid test kits. The areas in which the company has the exclusive license are the areas where there has been an significant increase in Dengue Fever. The Company will have virtually no competition in these areas. It is reasonable to expect to sell in excess of 300 000 Dengue kits this year which will generate sales of $1,200,000 USD. Dengue Fever is a mosquito born disease characterized by a rapid onset of fever that may last from 5 to 7 days. After effects of Dengue Fever can last for 6 to 8 months without early detection and treatment. The most severe form is Hemorrhagic Dengue Fever may lead to circulatory failure and death (12%). Dengue can be effectively treated through early diagnosis using fluid replacement therapy. Currently there are so few laboratories available that are able to test for Dengue Fever that it is taking 3 to 4 weeks to get results. By then, the patient can be severely incapacitated or dead. Standard recovery time for the mildest form of Dengue Fever without immediate fluid replacement therapy is 4 to 6 months. The VScan test kit for Dengue Fever detects the virus in its very early stages in under 20 minutes and with immediate fluid replacement therapy the effects are minimal and recovery is very fast. Early detection of the Dengue Virus so the fluid replacement therapy can be used prevents the collapse of the circulatory system.

Medical Services Completes Additional Testing of Hepatitis B Test Kit in China Friday April 23, 7:00 am ET
EDMONTON, Alberta, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF - News) wishes to announce that it has completed additional testing of the VScan Hepatitis B test kit in the People's Republic of China. The independent test results show that the VScan Hepatitis B test kit was 99% accurate. Independent testing of the Hepatitis B test kit is currently ongoing in three additional countries other than China. Preliminary indications are that the testing in the other countries is getting similar results to those that have been obtained in China. The Company will continue with its efforts to get regulatory approval in each of these countries. The infection rate of Hepatitis B can be as high as 30% in some instances. Early detection of Hepatitis B is necessary to prevent any long term medical problems. Failure to detect and treat Hepatitis B can result in long term medical treatment. The testing results being obtained by the VScan Hepatitis B test kit are far superior to any other rapid test kit for Hepatitis B. The current test that is being used takes 8 to 10 hours and is very expensive (over 10 times the cost of the VScan test kit).
The complete financials can be found by searching the Canadian w w w. s e d a r. com.
For essentially a company in a unique field with a good product I think the results are not terribly good but not bad either. Much better than most penny prospects with lots of customers.

Pretty mixed results, but one thing for sure a loss was recorded. Most of it seems to be from asset right off, that might be added back later, if/when they become preforming assets again. Very iffy stuff. There is a forward looking statement expecting revenues to increase, but who knows what "right offs" or surprises might soak them up. It was 9 AM news, and the PPS closed down, .0002. Hey I'm gonna put a GTC at .007, and buy more, this doesn't swing bad, and it's been in a down trend for a couple of weeks now.
