Buy? Been trying to buy a grands worth of these for about an hour. Keep getting a your order can't be met, place order. Maybe one or two of those post about the expensive nature of the SP, could sell as few shares to ease the situation.Tha
Re: Expensive? Yes, looking expensive now. Very. I sold out last week at a near 200% profit on the basis that the share price has stormed ahead without any real news. Its all on the possibility of the US. If that comes through (of which there is no guarantee) then I might miss a reactive spike up, but my personal opinion is that there is going to have to be a massive spend in order to penetrate the US market. I think the shares are looking pricey and Ive banked my profit. Will get back in if there is a punchy fall but right now Im grateful for a good run and a handsome profit. Split the proceeds and put into Melrose, ITV and Avacta instead as am hoping that there is longterm potential in a well run business (Melrose) an overdone share fall (ITV), and possibility of a repeat of Tristel (Avacta)! Knowing my luck I should have just sat tight as Tristel may rocket!
Re: Expensive? I agree with the US. Update on that will be interesting. Is there also something to do with availability of shares. A number of times I have tried to purchase shares for the Buy order to default to a Place Order ( could be iii systems?). Small volume and the spread?
Re: Expensive? I think the kicker here is the USA , success in the US market will make what has gone before chicken feed I have been invested here for many years , I like the management, one of the few companies to get in touch with private investors and issue invites to visit . I never did because it's a long way from here . I sold a few back in the £1.70 's which was obviously not too clever with hindsight , I shall continue to hold the balance because if the US is a success I can see a takeover is possible. Anyway nothing is certain so you pays your money and take your chances .Andrew
Expensive? Superb share price performance, obviously on the back of very positive trading and going into US market, but surely now looking very expensive on moat criteria. Results not due until 19.10.17Any views.
Re: Charitable donation? Exactly! Thanks for the post. Very encouraging.

Re: Charitable donation? Seadoc," PS to SI "after successful American venture/s! " +1 esp with MRSA becoming a major problem with resistance to Vancomycin"Thanks for the update. MRSA strains developing Vancomycin resistance isn't a good news to the medical world. If tristel products are useful in preventing spread of MRSA, C.Diff and similar superbugs (there by reducing the morbidity rates), this company has a very bright future. It would be interesting to find any data about incidence of MRSA, before and after tristel products were introduced in various U.K. Hospitals.
Re: Charitable donation? SundayTrader,Retired endoscopist/surgeon here. I did think there were big advantages to chlorine dioxide. Some years ago I tipped off my head of dept <at about 30p> and they trialled it. If there are multiple channels in a 'scope, as for through mouth and up other end, because you need to blow in air and also pass instruments, then there are better alternatives. If you are looking to wipe down an instrument (think back of nose) or clean other simple surfaces then it is very cost effective. To be honest my examinations of the cervix has been more social than professional but from the website:[link] looks like this is a wipe down product and so a natural fit, so as to speak. The key is portability, no need for large tubs/vats pumps etc, just a packet of damp tissues. Is this a charitable donation? My share of this company is miniscule but $750,000 is only about ten times the return I have already had from my few shares in TSTL and I would be happy that the company make a donation on my behalf. But professionally I would think this was sensible support and as a PI I am totally supportive. Further there must be thousands of potential EVA systems, not all nor even many of which need sterilization but for a simple example video dermatology has revolutionised the management of "moles" in many countries like UK, NZ and Auz.Regards,SeadocPS to SI "after successful American venture/s!

Re: Charitable donation? HiNot quite sure why you think they are being so charitable. The amount TSTL are putting up is a relatively small part of a much larger fund-raising by Mobile ODT. The stated objective is to pursue a partnership with Mobile ODT under which their kit is sold in a package with the disinfectant products which are essential for it. On the face of it this is a deal which could be quite reasonably called strategic. But I am not an endoscopy expert - I think we would all be happy to hear if you have better information.
Nice progress Good to see the share price rising remarkably, following annual profit reporting. Hopefully much more to come after successful American venture/s!
Charitable donation? Whilst laudable from an ethical viewpoint, I would suggest that Tristel's $750,000 investment in Mobile ODT borders on a charitable donation, looking at the markets Mobile ODT appears to be aiming at. However, I also notice a VC is investing so perhaps there is some investment sense there. Also a bit concerned about Tristel becoming involved with an early stage investment - I did not realise investing was part of the business plan. This may also have tax implications for some shareholders who benefit from the inheritance tax exemption for holdings in AIM companies. I would regard this as a radical and concerning departure from Tristel's normal business.
Re: Reason/s for drop? Yesterday, I visited tristel's display stall at Geneva palexpo. It was good. Out of nearly 100 display stalls showing pharma and medical equipments, many competing with each other, tristel stall was unique being only one of its kind. Hope the company does well. Well, we shall know by tomorrow if there's any negative news on the way.
Re: Reason/s for drop? Quite a few well performing smallcaps in my portfolio fell today and I think a bout of profit taking is overdue. Perhaps this will continue for a while as prices are quite high. Not aware of any problems at Tristel.
Re: Reason/s for drop? SI,Not that I have found, someone has info, expect an RNS at 0700?Regards,Seadoc
