A British company that has been investing in internet and information businesses had its best day on record last week. On-line Plc jumped nearly 400% on Friday after announcing plans to change its name to On-line Blockchain Plc, following an initial climb of 19% on Thursday when it first announced the news. It’s the biggest one-day gain for the small-cap company since its December 1996 listing. Source
