Insolvency Practices and Pawn Brokers values typically increase HUGELY in recession. Pawn Broker stocks, in particular, do well as their success, in part , is linked to the price of gold. The 2 largest quoted companies in their respective fields are Begbies & Traynor (BEG) and Harvey & Thomson (HAT) Both of these companies have very impressive balance sheets (see Stockopedia & Simply Wall Street) and are geared up for massive growth over the next 1-3 years) We're in for a long and bumpy ride so any other counter recessionary investment ideas would be appreciated.

With cash on hand and unutilised headroom on its banking facility, together with stock of gold jewellery, HAT would appear to have the desired balance sheet strength to get through the current crisis, relatively unscathed.

HATs off to the CEO and chair for taking 50% cut. Many others doing 20%. And many (MOST) are paid significantly more of a disproportionatly high salary. I think you want 3 things moving out of the covid situation:- A strong business model which previals in the new environment A strong balance sheet Good management I think that we have all 3 here.

Gold 1,330.44 today

[spob] 06/4/2020 10:13

soap and water will do just fine Lol

[outsizeclothes.com] 06/4/2020 09:23

What might be a downer, Spob, from a physically handling things is the amount of time the virus can live on metal surfaces. And you really don't want your pawnbroker taking the Dettol to your Rolex.

No need to close any stores stupid decision they are an essential financial services provider especially whilst many people will not be able to work and so will be in need of their services more than ever right now measures can be taken to protect staff just make them wear masks and goggles all very simple

[outsizeclothes.com] 06/4/2020 08:42

Gold still climbing

[outsizeclothes.com] 06/4/2020 08:41

Management look to be making prudent decisions. Keeping the powder dry looks a wise move, hence no sell-off on today's announcement of the withdrawn divvy

[muzmanoz] 27/3/2020 07:54

Have I missed it or are they yet to announce to the market that their shops are shut. I see that Ramsdens made an announcement upon their shops closing.

Site now states: "In light of the latest government advice and guidelines we have taken the decision to close all H&T stores temporarily, with immediate effect. We are working with the government and our regulator to see what more we can do to help those customers who need our services in these difficult times, and we will post updates on our website on a regular basis. Update to follow. "

Some poor sod dumping 1,500 at a time probably because they can't do 9,000.

"As an essential finance provider we are opening as many stores as possible on Tuesday 24th March between the hours of 11am and 4pm. "

[spob] 24/3/2020 09:11

are H&T shops still open ?

[outsizeclothes.com] 23/3/2020 15:30

The Govt will have seen the fortune made, and the misery caused, by Loan Sharks sine they practically shut the payday lenders. I could see a situation though where you could only have 1 or 2 people in the shop at one time for social distancing, or a system of 'appointment only'. If anything, zero-hour contract workers, and self employed, will have a greater need of HAT. And Gold has turned up since last week

[taylor20] 23/3/2020 08:06

'Essential' financial service??? Maybe.

[boonkoh] 22/3/2020 18:44

Won't H&T be severely affected if all non essentials stores are closed, like in Italy, Spain, and France?They don't do any online or postal activity.

[outsizeclothes.com] 17/3/2020 16:14

Averaged down 5k @ 247.2. And will do so again for 10k if there's another big lurch down. This is bargain bucket territory.

[outsizeclothes.com] 12/3/2020 21:20

Although gold is being sold down [probably to cover losses elsewhere] HAT is starting to look really way oversold.
