The well-known news organisation has had something of a bumpy ride over the last few years, but in July this year, Reuters raised their dividend for the first time in five years.
This piece of good news was rapidly followed by another, as in October Reuter's Chief Executive Tom Glocer revealed increased revenue forecasts on the strength of a strong Q3 trading statement.
Reuters look to be back on an even keel and are investing and reorganising for the future. Now should be a good time to buy for the long term.
Buy, says The Telegraph.
Sometimes it makes sense to sell your shares in a successful, growing company, despite the temptations of rising dividends and strong prospects.
Cookson is one of those cases. 2006 has seen the engineering firm stage a wholesale recovery, with shares up 50 per cent on the year.
Cookson's Chief Executive Nick Salmon seems to have done all the right things, paring back non-core and unprofitable areas of activity and focusing the company on its most profitable strengths.
Salmon has also managed to deal with the pension deficit and debts that were blighting the company's balance sheets, and dividends have been reintroduced and are slowly climbing again.
However, if you have enjoyed the ride over the last year, now is a good time to lock in some profits on Cookson – although the year ahead may produce some continued modest gains, they may not be worth risking this year's stellar growth.
Sell, says The Telegraph.
