(ShareCast News) - It's time to give up the stamp collection, according to The Telegraph's Questor.On Thursday it recommended to traders to sell up shares in stamp dealer and collectibles auctioneer Stanley Gibbons, after it revealed weaker demand in Asia could force first-half results to fall short.The company is still optimistic about the second half of the year with more auctions and big-ticket sales in the works. But with higher net debts, Questor said it "wouldn't add this collectible to the collection".Meanwhile Tempus at The Times is looking for a case of schadenfreude, as it recommends traders buy Begbies Traynor. The insolvency practitioners highlighted that corporate insolvencies fell by 12 % in the first half of the year to 8,000 - down around 1,000.But Tempus said the shares look cheap at 42p a share, and when interest rates rise it will likely see business pick up. With a rise a wee way away it would be good to get in now before experts start predicting it.
