Hi BBD
Not too bovvered what anyone thinks, seems to be only us two on this board now, but a great discussion.
I think incredible value in HB's now - some time ago I calcd tw was worth 260 (now 111), but that was before Covid-19 and fundamentally nothing has changed, we still need more houses. If a new lockdown (no houses Built) tw is worth nothing but its Assets. Obviously the Govt cannot let this happen, but I do think we are in for a very bad time.
A resurgence of Covid-19, Recession and Brexit with no Deal will make HB's Sp plummet but I'm not too worried about that.
What will kill off HB's is higher Interest Rates and Mortgage availability, which I think could be a result of the above.
Not really bovvered about Share Buybacks, the volatility in the economy makes it almost meaningless and I don't think it has benefitted bkg much, the Company or share holders.
Traditionally if high inflation (due to printing money) the price of Gold increases cos money loses value. Ggp just increased in value by 25% this week (now 215% profit after just over a year and 12 top ups), but price of gold has hardly increased.
Some daft numbers PER -199 (cos they have no income), MrktCap £755m, Cur assets 2.83m, Cur Liabs 0.63m - so rich.
But, the reason for the big increase in Sp was drilling results in Aus confirming a massive amount of Gold in the land they have rights to (£Bn's and a guaranteed buyer in NCM), and more results to be published soon from another development.
If price of gold doubles so will the value of ggp.
My best investment ever and cannot see any probs for at least a year, Fundamentals and prospects excellent.
