Although the figures are bad at around a 24.7% fall in passengers, some analysts ( according to the bbc news web site covering the story" were predicting a fall of 30% so a 25% fall is "relatively" good news.

As to the information on the best shares to buy- obvioulsy it depends on a thorough analysis of the company and theenvironment it operates in but in the current bear market you would probably want to hold shaes that had a low correlation in movement compared to the general market ie " the defensive stocks" and the food sector is one of several that tends to be classified as defensive"
I will not go into the Investment Analysis theory in case i get fireworked here!!!
Of course I could be wrong and I'm puting on my helmet now.

Supporting BA on Wednedsay with EDI-MAN followed by company go-karting and then next month EDI-LHR-TXL and return
