MMs seem to be playing with the PPS today - wish I had more to put in. Waiting for the PRs that will tell us what actual shipments/revenues are. Also waiting for the TB test approval annoucement - that could be bigger for the company than the HIV test

We are having a healthy retrace / gap filling session. We are down 33% from the run up! ( this is less than the 50+% that QBID and MLON have recently experienced.
When I purchase stock, there are a few criteria that I use: 1) Does the company have a viable product to offer that is in demand? In MSITF case, this is most definitely YES..... this company like Qbid is targeting a particular market that has plenty of room to grow! I try to stay away from companies that are working on just an idea or premise.... they always seem to fail miserably! 2) Is the company finding/filling a niche? Again yes to this.... with the functionality of this test kit using whole blood with no refrigeration, etc required, even a big dumy like myself could use this and figure it out!
I am holding for at least 6-12 more months for .10 or a buyout by a bigger player. This company has set themselves up for success by working on the distribution and marketing while they were waiting for the approvals. They will begin to immediately see sales revenue now that the approvals have arrived.
Another thing that has jumped out to me that no one else has mentioned is that in the India approval PR, it clearly stated that they were approved for sales AND MANUFACTURING! I see this as very important as the China facility could easily be tapped out of prodcution capability very quickly when their product starts to gain acceptance and widespread use in southeast ASIA. India would provide an inexpensive 2nd mfg facility!

Seeing improvement from about .006 low to .0067/.0070. Looks like the bargain sales price might be over. Hearing on RB that additional PRs expected over the next week to 10 days from a poster who has a reasonable track record of accurately anticipating such. Time will tell, yet it wouldn't surprise me if the MMs took the stock down to shake some easy sales before the announcement and run.

FatherOfTwo, since you seem to be following this one a lot, why dont you call the CEO and ask why he doesnt want real-time transaction on his share....this would make it move a lot more like it should....in pennyland, not sub!

This is great news and starts to put some substance on the prior PRs regarding approvals and distributor arrangements. I hope the days of sub-penny PPS are about to become a thing of the past.

It's a foreign traded stock - that's why the F in the symbol. Volume is not reported during the day - total is available around 6:20 each evening after the close. This shortcoming (no easy or inexpensive way to get real time quotes and no volume stats during the trading day) is what some people believe keeps this stock from trading a lot higher. Reportedly (on another message board after a reported phone call to the company) the company will be working to get the F removed and better trading data available to investors. Time will tell. In the meantime, PRs indicate substantial progress made by the company in terms of approvals (Nigeria, India, China); manufacturing (Shanghai; distributor in India; Nigeria); and orders (China).
The company has delivered on many of the potentials that existed earlier in the year, and appears poised on the brink of delivering significant revenues and profits next. Short term investors seem to be looking to the $.03-.10 range as an initial target range, with long term investors less specific but generally making noise about increasing their personal targets, in large part because they say the company's TB test could have even more potential than the HIV test.
Current price in the $.006s seems like a very attractive entry point considering the degree of performance to date in obtaining approvals and the potential for signficant revenue and profits in the near term - coupled with other products with great potential still in the approval process.
This stock is definitely my pick for most potential over the coming 6-12 months.

I don't know what is keeping this stock from running, all the news coming out is good. I have been holding a large amount of shares since may. I wish they would put in the paperwork for real time quotes.

I did the same and doubled up my position. I was able to buy at 0.0048. This seems like too good of a price, especially after the good news. But how could I not take advantage of it??

Another good PR - confirms the accuracy of MSITF's test and its superiority to the competition. IMO, it's only MM playing games that keeps this stock down, but I'm not complaining yet, since I would still like to add to my position. At some point, the PPS has to reflect the strong products, approvals, orders/shipments and revenues the company has in place. At these prices, the market value is only about $12.5 million, which seems absurdly low IMO for a company with the demonstrated potential this one has. GLTA
EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec 14, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF) is pleased to announce that it has participated in a live testing program in the Dominican Republic along with other rapid test kits that are being used in the Caribbean for detection of HIV. All of the tests completed using rapid test kits were confirmed using Western Blot or actual CD4 test results. The VScan rapid test kit was 100% accurate. The other test kit used only had an accuracy of 93% with one false positive.
Most rapid test kits only have the ability to detect the HIV virus at the IgG antigen level. The VScan test kit first picks up the HIV virus at the IgA and IgM levels which show up in the blood stream much earlier than IgG. This makes the VScan rapid test kit much more sensitive and it detects the HIV virus much earlier than other test kits.
The VScan test kits require no refrigeration, no electricity and no medical facilities or trained medical personnel. The Vscan rapid test kit performs better than any other test kit it comes to whole blood. It can be used in any environment and is the best to use for testing in remote areas.
The test results and approvals completed in the Caribbean will be used to apply for an overall approval in the Caribbean by Carec. The Caribbean has a population base of 14,000,000 and a transient population of over 45,000,000 people.

This website was posted on another board: http://www.tagalderasia.com/template.php?showpage=msi.htm Adds major confirmation that MSITF is for real, having the HIV test under distribution agreement with a major and reputable company - this is a great outside confirmation MSITF's legitimacy and the reality of its product beyond its own PRs. This should alleviate concerns of a scam that many sceptics of the company have voiced in the past. Ready for this one to rock-and-roll.

I don't understand why the price continues to drop even with good PR? The ask is now at $0.0041. This makes me want to take more of a position, unless something is going on behind the scenes that I am not privy to???

Unless the CEO doesnt wake up and make the volume real-time on the stocks, no big player will get involved no matter how many good PR there is. That's it!!!
So, do like me, call the CEO, tell him you're a shareholder and you would like to add more shares to your port but will not until he does the right thing for the shareholders.

I hope everyone got the message now. Thank you.

Market valuation of this company approaching ridiculously low levels - somewhere under $10MM for a company with products, approvals, orders and manufacturing. How can this be when so many other companies with so much less going for them are valued so much more highly. Seems like something else must be going on - MMs playing games? Short sellers trying to make some money?
I guess I need to learn patience all over again. GLTA longs.

I have been watching this for months too, but missed the boat on the India news. I hope to jump in below $.0020. And, I agree..............I would be sooooooooooo much more into trading this stock if I could get real time quotes without calling Scottrade (what a hassle)
My wife is a doctor in Beijing and her friend is with the Center for Disease Control in Chengdu, China (13 million people) and neither are aware of the V-scan test. Someone needs to get out there and sell, sell, sell.
Without sounding like a "basher" I say, sell now and buy back in at a lower level. $.0010 would be SWEET!

That's exactly what I'm doing...accumulating at low until we see real-time transaction.
I missed last dip but I'm watching closely this time.

New News today - confirms that VScan has SDA approval in China and that the VScan HIV test kit is approved in India - clarifies any misunderstandings that bashers tried to create from the prior PRS. This is great!
Medical Services to Begin Testing of Its VScan Tuberculosis(TB) Test Kit on a Large Scale in New Year December 16, 2004 06:01:00 AM ET
EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF) is pleased to announce that it will begin testing of its VScan Tuberculosis (TB) rapid test kit on a large scale outside China. The testing is scheduled to start by the middle of January, 2005. The Company is very confident that the results obtained during this testing will equal the testing completed in China. The Company has filed the necessary documents required for regulatory approval of the VScan TB test kit in China. The VScan test kit is the only test that does not give false positives.
The Company recently issued a press release indicating that it had received approval by regulatory authorities in China for its VScan HIV1&2 test kit. By regulatory approval, the Company was referring to the SDA. In regard to India, the approval of the rapid test kit for HIV1&2 refers to the VScan test kit. The Company has begun production in the Shanghai facility related to orders in China that were waiting for the SDA approval.
If it takes as long for TB approval from the SDA as it did for HIV, then approval might be expected sometime around May. That could be great timing, especially if the company is announcing shipments and revenues from the HIV test kits runniing up to that approval. This one looks like the real thing and on my short list for possible best performing stock for 2005.

I would hope that this news would finally get the stock price moving up to levels that it belongs. The bid came up a little on pinksheets but the ask is still at .0048. Not sure how accurate the bid and ask are.

The pps went up to about .0055/.0059 earlier in the day, and has settled back again. Hard to understand why the market values this company so low right now considering the recent approvals, orders in process, etc. Patience remains the key - this one will pay off eventually in a big way for investors who don't get frightened into selling too soon - IMO.
GLTA longs.

It looks to me that the PPS for MSITF has stabilized and hopefully ready for a run as soon as some good news comes out. I have a lot of faith in this position and I feel that they have a great product. New PRs in the New Year regarding their progress will drive up the PPS, all IMHO of course.

Can you explain how a company goes about getting realtime quotes and volume? do they need to have volume up to a certain level? Another company I have stocks in has investigated getting realtimeith no luck. What about dropping the f at the end of the ticker? Can they do that? How do I find out more?
thanks,

They dont need to drop the F...the F only means Foreign for main Office...they only need to do some paper work and pay de due...very simple...but the CEO told me it was not his priority...if you go public with your co...why in hell wouldnt you want people to see realtime transaction???
Best thing is more people calling him and asking for him to file those paper. No magic trick there...
