WE stepped up our dash for cash last week with the sale of a further six of our share tips which have fallen out of stock-market favour in the past few weeks.

We could claim a booby prize for one of the poorest-timed share tips of the year with last week’s recommendation of Edinburgh based Cairn Industries just ahead of a cash-grab by Indian tax authorities.

OUR share tips reached another landmark last week when this year’s 2017 selections notched up a profit of more than 20 per cent for the first time.

OUR share tips eased past another barrier last week when our 2017 portfolio notched up notional profits of more than £1,000 for the first time.

THE forced sale of our notional holdings in Glasgow-based power plant group Aggreko took the edge off another good all-round performance by the majority of our share tips last week.

Our share tips enjoyed another good all-round performance on the back of a stronger stock market last week with all four investment portfolios sporting further gains when we carried out our usual re-view on Wednesday morning.

Our share tips managed to hold steady when the stock market took a nasty knock last week as a result of Theresa May’s decision to call a snap election.

WE celebrated another good week for our existing tips with the nominal purchase of shares in the fast-expanding veterinary group CVS on Wednesday morning.

OUR shares tips passed a significant milestone last week when the latest 2017 portfolio recorded a double digit percentage gain for the first time.
