Royal Bank of Scotland is in a mess and its chief executive, Stephen Hester, has made no bones about that fact. The shares have recovered strongly recently.

Take up the rights adds the Times.The interesting bit about Falkland Island Holdings is its 15% shareholding in Falklands Oil and Gas (FOGL). Investors may look at the conglomerate instead of a direct investment in FOGL because it has a diversified income stream, an 8p dividend and doesn't rely on a big find. If there is one, however, shares will soar. Although yesterday's gain might have taken out much of the near-term upside, its prospects look good, so buy says the Independent.Bovine genetics specialist Genus reported a 15% rise in adjusted pre-tax profits to £32 million on revenues up 14% to £280m.
