All charts shown are for the 2019 year using weekly; data points.; To state the obvious this is done for amusement only. All these examples are good; reminders that correlation does not imply causation. We would not recommend using Bitcoin; futures to predict Plexure's share price (but if you do please let us know how you get on).; 2019 Clare Capital Highlights; It has been a busy year at Clare Capital. Highlights include:; ▪ Advising Snapper on its sale to Allectus; ▪ Advising NZX on the sale of its FundSource business unit; ▪ Advising Ranqx on its capital raise; ▪ Advising Proactive Rehab on its acquisition of Fit For Work; ▪ Welcoming Eliot Brown to the team; With the upcoming New Zealand summer break our last office day; for the year is Friday 20 December 2019 and we reopen on Monday; 13 January 2020.
