We begin with Mark Robinson who covers pest control business Rentokil (RTO) which saw a double digit surge in its share price after rumours of private-equity takeovers began swirling.

It’s then on to this week’s cover story by James Norrington on the investing greats and how investors can apply their wisdom to their own portfolios.

Jennifer Johnson then joins the conversation with an update on leader of the FTSE 100, AstraZeneca (AZN). Why are shares down despite its guidance being upgraded? And what does the company offer outside of oncology drugs?

Last up, we cover energy company Centrica’s (CNA) results which received a less than favourable market reaction.
