Share sales by directors at Domino Printing (DNO) and property firm Shaftesbury (SHB) need not alarm investors. Whenever directors receive shares under long-term investment plans, they often sell a slice of their stake to cover tax charges. This was the case for both companies, and their actions should not be misread by private shareholders.

Shares says: Continue to hold both Domino and Shaftesbury.
