This novel, just published by Faber and available from Amazon at £15, is a terrific read. And I say that despite having only got as far as page 70. Hurry now if only to assess the mechanics of the young lady in a slinky silver dress at about page 50.

I originally paid around 250p for JOG around ten years ago. The target was £10. In the event the price has slid down remorselessly. Indeed it touched 48p around nine months ago mainly as a result of the hopelessly silly Ed Miliband. Yesterday afternoon the price came up from 99p to 129p and a further 10p this morning. There has been no announcement. I hesitate to declare that at long last shareholders get a fair deal or that Miliband has sobered up. But I would not sell here.

Chariot (CHAR) have just announced a successful placing at 1.4p to raise $20m. The directors came in for $2.7m. This is bullish and wise punters will scoop up loose stock.
