Across the board I reckon , markets are looking very poor .

FTSE futures -60pts again since the close

Looking at the share price drop - approx 10% since the results - this seems excessive even after the Wansborough closure costs hit - there seems also to have been a read across today from the Mondi drop - which also seems excessive!

Is anything else happening - other than general nervous worries?
