The Top 10 TD Client Buys and Sells for week ended 6^th August 2012¹

“Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) was one of eight newcomers to the tables this week, occupying sixth spot in the buys table and joint third in the sells after reporting a half year loss of £1.5bn. Nonetheless, RBS saw its share price rise slightly throughout the week to close at 222.3p on Monday 6 August with TD clients selling the banking giant at a ratio of 2.1:1.

“Vodafone Group plc (VOD) was a new entrant to the sells table this week as TD clients appeared keen to try and cash in on its rising share price. The stock gained nearly 4% to 189.5p during the week ahead of the news that retrospective tax laws in India – that landed the mobile phone giant with a $2.2bn bill – would be reviewed.

“Elsewhere, there were a number of newcomers to our tables from the oil and gas sector, with Falkland Oil & Gas Ltd (FOGL) entering at ninth place in the buys table, whilst Kazakhmys plc (KAZ) and Vedanta Resources plc (VED) entered in ninth and 10^th places respectively on the sells table.”
