TD Waterhouse view:

'SABMiller enters the top ten tables for the first time accounting for 10.6 per cent of the top ten buys after its multi-billion pound bid to buy Australian beer company, Foster’s, went hostile today.

'Matra Petroleum accounts for 8.3 per cent and 12.9 per cent of the top ten buys and sells respectively after its shares stooped after it encountered further difficulties at the Sokolovskoe field in Russia and admitted it would require further funding.'
