TD Waterhouse view:

'AIM-listed Sareum Holdings, the pharmaceutical and cancer drug spcecialist, saw its share price rise after announcing it had succesfully found a ‘preclinical development candidate’ for its orally administered therapy that could inihibit the growth rate of cancer. TD customers responded by making it a new entry in this morning’s buy and sells table, in fifth and fourth positions respectively.

'Another AIM-listed stock, Rockhopper Exploration has also seen a positive share price move this morning, making the company our most popular sell by TD customers. The oil and gas company said that new seisimic data suggested there could be more oil found in its sea Lion Main Complex off the Falkland Islands.'
