Another light news day. #CREI done a useful acquisition of a Family Office portfolio. Apart from that not much going on (I don't hold CREI).
#BKS Update mixed really. Lots of positive stuff but Cash down and H1 Revenue light. The high p/e it used to sit on is 'normalising'. Lot to like but perhaps it can go lower. I don't hold.
