A detailed note on why H&T is a BUY

The latest results from pawnbroker H&T Group (HAT) noted Covid-19 related trading restrictions and reduced high street footfall impact but they still showed profitable resilience and noted growing confidence. We can understand why, given the strains raging inflation will put on household budgets, and predict a return to the 380p+ share price levels of early 2020. At a current 283p offer price  (279p when we tipped it two weeks ago) and up to 290p, this is a recovery BUY.

H&T Pawnbrokers – Still as good as gold

Yesterday, I explained why I think gold-bugs should pay closer attention to the pawnbroking sector, and mentioned that H&T Pawnbrokers (HAT) is currently more than 20% of my stock portfolio. Today, I’ll take a look at the trading update which H&T released on Thursday, and see if the investment case still stands up.

H&T Pawnbrokers – A better way to express your love for yellow metal

Full disclosure: I am a gold-bug. I love gold. And I think the economic doom-mongers like Peter Schiff make fantastic arguments for a radically higher gold price. We are in uncharted monetary territory which threatens the fundamental integrity of our paper currencies. But I also know that investing on the basis of an impending apocalypse means betting on something that has never happened before.
