Plenty more profit raking this week as transport shares took a tumble, but one faller stood out more than most: Wincanton - which has suffered a pretty dramatic fall in the past two months.

This chart shows Wincanton's share price every Tuesday since 29 January, when it touched a high of 70p. Now it is down in the doldrums at 45p. The worrying thing for Wincanton is that there appears to be no material reason for the fall. It last told the City about its performance on 7 February, when it said:  "There has been no significant change to the general financial position of the group from that disclosed in the half year results announcement for the six-month period to 30 September 2012."

One to keep an eye on...

As you can see the average share price basket continues to tumble.
