Shares in stockbroker Shore Capital have almost tripled in value since April, but non-executive director Barclay Douglas thinks there's more to come.

The accountant has spent £92,000 on 250,000 shares at 36.75p each. He now owns 1.25m shares, or half a per cent of the company.

Shore received a shot in the arm in August when it revealed strong performances from its asset management and equity capital markets divisions helped boost interim profit and revenue.
