TD Waterhouse view:
Laird, the biggest maker of mobile phone electronic shields, makes an appearance for the first time in the morning’s top ten sells accounting for 9.6 per cent. The company’s shares soared the most in more than 20 years in London after Cooper Industries Plc said an offer, valuing the UK company at about £493 million ($794 million), was rejected.

'Gulf Keystone moves into first place on the sells from nineteenth place yesterday, accounting for 15.4 per cent of the top ten sells this morning. The AIM-listed firm’s slumped this morning ahead of its AGM later on Thursday.'
