But by its very nature, Wolseley has little visibility of future trading. It looks like being a long haul, with no particular reason for any sharp improvement.

Too soon to chase says the Times.Aberdeen Asset Management is now so large that even a small percentage movement in the size of its assets equates to the GDP of a small African country: in this case, as it happens, Chad. The shares have had a strong run, up almost a fifth since January. But they are tightly held, with Japan's Mitsubishi holding 16.5% and Credit Suisse 21%.
