2005, a pivotal year for Axis-Shield, with strong growth and profitability

ROL...My comment was not particularly or specifically aimed at you, although you do now also seem price/chart driven regarding ASD, everyone to their own etc. I do think most people find the charts of 'some' interest, hence I included it in the header, however and fwiw, I think with a company like ASD products, markets and product pipeline (along with trading updates) will tell us more about the direction of this company than a chart plotting 'historical' action.



Some of my specific interests/wish list for the trading update -

Update on Afinion scale up, and importantly the strength of the order book.
I would be pleased to see Cholesterol tests added to the planned Afinion menu (a large POC market previously covered) and included in the marketing of Afinion, along with a progress report on the existing planned tests ie PT-INR and more detail on the other tests going forwards for Afinion via the agreement with Abbott on reagents from Axsym and IMX.
Automated Anti-CCP update.
Automated Holo-TC update.

ASD's trading updates usually give a good general coverage of the business, whether any of my specifics are included remains to be seen, and I am not trying to second guess the content as I have been commenting on such for some time. Anyway happy and content to see what come's our way Friday and take any uncovered area's/items up with the company, and in any case, I am of the opinion that the next few months will be quite busy and not 'just' Friday, hence my comments re traders and to expect some volitility etc.
