The Mail on SundaySigns of economic improvement in the United States is good news for Tyman, which makes seals, locks and other parts for doors and windows in the UK and America.

The Truth deal can be seen as fresh evidence of Tyman's transformation from basket case to growth story. It is a bold but clever move by Tyman and the shares, at 207p, should prove a rewarding long-term investment.

The Sunday TelegraphDirect Line, the insurance group that floated last year, has just posted a slightly weak first quarter update, reflecting competition in the motor insurance market.
European rules mean that the difference between insuring male and female drivers has been closed and as a result Direct Line has been holding back on insuring some drivers to see if industry pricing was in line with its models.
The company says it will continue to target profitability at the expense of volume, meaning that in the first quarter gross written premiums from its ongoing operations fell 4.5 per cent.
The company plans to pay out about 12p this year as a dividend, representing a prospective yield of 6.2 per cent.
The shares floated at 175p and have been as high as 225p but have since fallen back. They are once again a buy for the yield.
