"Small-cap stockpicker Gervais Williams has slashed his exposure to specialist industrial plastics manufacturer Carclo.

Williams cut his investment in the business from 6.11 million shares to 3.05 million or 4.9% worth 5.04 million. The shares are held across a range of funds run by Williams, head of smaller company investment at Gartmore, such as the Gartmore Growth Opportunities fund.

The shares have increased almost three-fold in value over the past 12 months, from a low of 58p. Coming on the same day as Williams bought heavily into another holding, Communisis, which has flatlined, the move is likely to be a relative value call.

In an interim statement at the beginning of February, Carclo said that performance had been in line with expectations. Demand for its medical and optical product ranges remained strong it said, while weakness in its aerospace division was at least partially offset by strong auto sales.

Re - GAP

To Fill or Not to Fill
When someone says that a gap has been "filled", that means that the price has moved back to the original pre-gap level.

Implication
Gaps usually represent important areas of support or resistance. A Gap Up will indicate different situations based on the context in which it was formed. A Gap Up in an uptrend may indicate a previous level of resistance has been broken and now forms a support level. Gaps provide an indication of a financial instrument's SHORT-TERM outlook.
