The market household was full of energy this past week as university classes officially got going. Mr Market was especially pleased to see old favourites doing well, with Greggs plc. drawing in students from far and wide with a rise of 1.43 per cent.
As the week continued, however, lecture turnouts slumped with the release of GTA V. This goes some way towards explaining why Ocado Group plc., the UK’s only fully dedicated online supermarket, cashed in on those unable to leave their homes, growing by 5.13 per cent.
The colder weather’s tightened its icy grip this week, but there was still cause for celebration as Aggreko plc., the world’s leading supplier of temporary power generators, heated up proceedings and raised its own temperature by a healthy 3.59 per cent.
In Ireland, the economy finally broke free of recession, growing by 0.40 per cent and the Irish people duly marked this by giving Diageo, the manufacturers of Guinness, something to cheer about with a solid growth of 2.72 per cent.
The UK duly decided to join the party, carrying SABMiller home late on Thursday with a 3.59 per cent rise.
Mr Market shall join the masses with a lovely bottle of Stella Artois and you are very welcome to join him.
