Here's first. A rights issue triggered by the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal but that's what Ladbrokes have blamed theirs on. Just four draws in the first 66 premiership matches has cost £20m. Ladbrokes' luck must improve. It's a close call, but take up your rights.

Hunting is still on the prowl. The FTSE 250 oil services group is sitting on £388m of cash after last year's well-timed sale of its Gibson Energy division bit it is making slow progress on spending it. At 528.5p, or ten times next year's earnings, buy.
THURSDAY
The Daily Telegraph
Shares in Petropavlovsk, formerly Peter Hambro Mining, have had a superb run since they were recommended at 626.2p on July 21. They are up by 64% in just two months. Despite the stunning gains so far in Petropavlovsk they remain Questor's preferred gold play. Buy.

It does not take a BBQ summer to keep Cranswick cooking. Yesterday's update showed underlying sales rising 12% in six months to September 30. The shares still trade at 11 times earnings and offer a 3.3% dividend. Hold on .
Sportingbet has come a long way sine the dark days of October 2006. At 73p, or 12 times earnings, and sitting on £24m of cash, Sportingbet's allure, whether from profit growth or as a prospective takeover target, remains intact. Hold
WEDNESDAY
The Daily Telegraph
One dividend stream that can still be bought into cheaply is that of Northern Foods. The shares are not one to own if you are seeking significant capital appreciation, but for investors looking for a good dividend stream, Northern Shares are one to own. Buy.
Outsourcing and construction group Mouchel has a number of positives, including a good bit pipeline and a reduction in debt. Even though the dividend has been maintained there was no uplift, suggesting caution. Hold.
The Times
Even a gangster panda fronting yet another advertising campaign for Fox's biscuits has failed to stem slowing sales at Northern Foods. At least the dividend looks secure, but this does not justify a rich share price of 67p, nearly 11 times last year's earnings. Sell.
Chloride, the provider of back-up power for companies, has a back-up for its own shares. Emerson Electric is thought to be preparing to pounce again after a 255p a share bid was rebuffed last year. Patient investors should hold on for global recovery or an eventual bid. Hold.
