Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I own shares in one or more of the stocks mentioned. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
I want to draw your attention to the absurd affect that the trouble in China is having on British shares. One of the biggest fallers has been ITV (ITV). This company makes it money by advertising British companies, like Tesco (TSCO), Sainsbury (SBRY), WM Morrison (WMR) and loads of other very familiar products in the UK.

Barnsley, eh? Well it could all be part of an orchestrated protest against dropping Parkinson, Malcolm (that may sound absurd but I’m sure you’re aware of how big Norman Wisdom was in Communist Albania – still tickles me to this day)!
Sorry – thoughts of simple, inebriated fun over the looming long weekend is making me silly!
