ONCE one of the City's favourite stocks, Queens Moat Houses, has come crashing to earth. Recent interims showing a creditable 5.4 per cent rise in profits were greeted with disdain in the Square Mile, with the hotel group's shares slumping from 70p to 51p. The fall has continued, with the shares touching 26p at one stage.
