I was a constant bear of ITM Power (ITM) although comrade Malcolm Stacey used to worship at the alter of man made global warming and so was a fan. At one stage at peak green bubble its shares were 682p – a market cap of £3.5 billion. Today, with Cooley having left the building four years ago, they are 62p – just 12p above the IPO price back in 2004. Old comrade Stacey would have done better putting his cash in the Nationwide Building Society.

I am not a great lover of rum but the US market is much bigger in both absolute and relative to population terms than the British one. It matters. Thus it is good news that Distil's (DIS) RedLeg spiced rum has been approved for sale in the USA by the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the TTB.

Investment Case: Formerly Blavod Wines & Spirits, this is a company which has been around for ages but has thus far failed to deliver. However, having joined the board as a non-executive in 2010, Don Goulding - previously a senior executive and lastly UK Managing Director at industry giant Diageo - took the full reins in late 2011 and has led the company to exit distribution for third parties to focus on developing owned brands. Although not yet reflected in the financial results, this looks a move of some promise and the shares at a 0.8p offer price, capitalising the company at sub £3.5 million, are a buy.
