In this edition of Shares we look at the giants of the market. The big fish which dominate the FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and AIM. As well as highlighting the top ten from each, we take one name in turn to look at more detail.
We consider if changes to the rules for income funds might mean cuts to dividends and discuss why BAE Systems shares are in focus on rising geo-political tensions.
And we discuss why software firm Micro Focus is a cash machine, the companies set for promotion and demotion in the latest FTSE reshuffle and the ten biggest investment mistakes and how to avoid them.
Also this week: the £94bn of returns missed out on by savers, what shareholders can do when companies make odd decisions and what changes to the way compensation claims are calculated mean for investors in the insurance sector.
