In 2007 venture capitalist 3i bought a then struggling designer and retailer of sexy lingerie Agent Provocateur for £60 million. It is now trying to sell the outfit for £200 million and has hired banks to find a sucker, sorry purchaser. At this stage an IPO is not planned but none the less this sale is crackers. Well at least the price tag is.
Agent produces a range of sexy ladies underwear, bras, suspenders, knickers as well as newer lines such as whips and handcuffs. Its marketing is interesting enough to force this 46 year old make into extensive research. There is no doubt that it is trading well but these days the lingerie market is not exactly a monopoly.
Agent is a top of the range supplier

Sirius Minerals (SXX) today served up predictably dismal results for the six months to September 30th. Jessie J reckons that I should forget about the price tag and it is not about the money. My view is that her analysis of Sirius is wrong. It is all about the money. Or rather lack of it.
