Market Report: Taking Stock
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.WATCH out for action at Albermarle & Bond, the AIM-listed pawnbroker. Ezcorp International, a Texas-based pawnbroking outfit, has taken a 29.996 per cent stake. Albermarle's management says it has been aware of the company, and is trying to find out what its intentions are. Ezcorp bought most of its shares from long-term shareholder Central Europe Corporation, and is expected to make a statement in the next few weeks. The shares traded up 7p to 51.5p.
THERE are still devoted football fans around. A supporter of Manchester City, the Nationwide League relegation candidates, was issued with 850,000 shares in the club at 88p a share. The proceeds of pounds 748,000 are to help fund player purchases. The supporter remained anonymous, although the club stressed he is "unconnected to any board member or major shareholder." The Ofex-quoted shares dropped 10p to 100p.
