  • The market continues to move higher with the FTSE 100 setting a new closing high for the third consecutive day  yesterday. The closing level of 9,309.20 was the first time that the Index had closed at over 9,300.  Although the Index has fallen back by a few points this morning it is still over 9,300.  We still believe that shares in Card Factory (105p) and B&M European Value Retail (238p) look too cheap and for our detailed reports on each company look back at our newsletters for June and July.
