Vertu Motors really loves prospects in the South West of England

After being a bit ill a couple of years ago, the DVLA was absolutely correct to ask me to return my driving licence. After all, it is not smart to drive a car if neither of your eyes has good enough vision any more. One small advantage is that I will never need to deal with car dealers or related again. This does not mean however I do not follow the sector, which brings me to today’s comment from Vertu Motors (VTU).

Vertu Motors hopes for higher profits...but always be cautious about cars

Back in March HERE I wrote why I thought ‘what a strange company is Pendragon’ (PDG), but if you wanted to buy a car dealer then ‘look at a peer such as Vertu Motors (VTU) which is trading below book value and, via okay profitability, at a low double digit multiple’. Since then Pendragon shares are little changed but Vertu Motors shares are up well over 20% – and that includes a striking announcement today.

Completely fair comment. I said the same when Reeves increased NI contributions saying she was taxing those with the broadest shoulders. She also thought that all business owners were rich and could easily afford the increased minimum wage too. Growing unemployment figures show the opposite.The hopeless small town mayor Burnham and his cronies are trying to be all things to all men (but excluding those they consider rich, including residential landlords) This approach is doomed to failure. Lets hope that there is an early election but then we have the problem of finding competent politicians to replace them. Not easy at the moment.

If you think there are more Brexit papers than Remain papers I would advise going on Wikipedia and adding all those Brexit supporting publications that seem to be missing.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorsements_in_the_2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendumIt isn't even close.

She's a nauseating entitled cow, who like the rest of the Labour government don't give a fuck the real people of this country, the wealth creators, the workers and the decent law-abiding. Instead they concentrate their focus on destroying wealth creators and spunking billions on illegal criminals coming over the Channel - at our expense. It's criminal what's going on and the quicker this odious shower of shit are out the better.

I think you may well be right in respect of the Fed raising rates and the BOE too over the coming months. BOE could raise further after that too. Personally, I think the bigger picture is the UK moving into a debt doom loop and the Country is not moving to remedy the problem. Gold has to be part of a "doomsday prep" picture.Personally, I'd sold down quite a bit of my holding in Anglogold Ashanti (AU) and GGP - I think I'm going to start buying back in dribs and drabs now. I don't mind being in a rum market for gold over the next 12 months - in 2 years or so I think we'll be fine.
