results from the motor trade recently have been v good Consumers are buying cars Good for AUTO |
Hi all,
My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast a few days ago and part of our discussion covers AUTO and I reckon the Car Retail sector looks very interesting now. We also chatted about loads of other Stocks and as always a fair bit of general Portfolio Management educational stuff. Anyway, if you use Apple, Audioboom, Overcast or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want TPI Podcast 27) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below.
I hope you enjoy it and find it useful,
Cheers, WD @wheeliedealer |
I wonder if AT has considered a bid for CARS.com in the US?
Recently spun from a big publisher, CARS.com could be useful in that AT could migrate platform and win large slice of the US auto market.
Just a thought.
Salty. |
seeing a decent return. |
Ominous Breakout Yesterday?
Sellers in the back ground? MM's generating liquidity to dump to breakout traders?
Yesterday I got short (again). Sometimes entries can take a few attempts.
Anyway... I've commented enough on this stock so for now...
Peace out. |
Indeed. I stand by my thesis. However, I admit... On this occasion my call on timing was wrong. I will be watching this one closely - maybe a false breakout will materialise?! ATB. |
New high today. |
