I agree, the spread has improved which always helps. You might be quite right about shares available as we all know you hold 329m yourself :)

all. Whilist I was being slightly tongue in cheek yesterday about the new laptop, it is nice to see people full of recomendations :) TD, Im just wondering how many people wanted to sell at 6p lol. Were you tempted :)

someone recomend to me where I can purchase a new laptop, because this ones gone completely hay wire. As I was sitting on the train tonight, logged in to see EML "allegedly" had risen by nigh on 10%. You can imagine my shock and horror, the only thing I could think of was the new iphone I bought a month back was up the swanny already. I have now gotten home and my laptop is showing the same...So not only do I need a new phone, but also a laptop :)

Evening HB, nice too see some substance behind someones numbers :) Your a braver man than I going near the banks ! I havent had the time too equte what 17m = interms of SP HB, most probably, because Im spending most of my time trying to work out how to make 17m :)

Not all dealerships of course have too make the same profit, however with some of the dealerships loosing money, and quite big money, the basic maths which apparently you can do was to show how your £17mill stacks up. Literalty I am a toxxer, I know, dont you hate toxxers whos nbmers aclluay satck pu...... :)

like I beat you too it, mail sitting waiting for you at the normal address ! Nice to see you got your hands on a decent GM, decent people are very hard to come by :) Are you still holding in here buddy or did 25p just wet the whistle abit much atm. Inch is looking a decent buy , still lingering 16-18p mark, I also note VTU`s last statement RE:Aquisition so looks like theyll be looking to pick up a few dealerships on the cheap. Some very interesting plays going on, another year and the trade will be back on the bounce quite firmly. How are you finding the scrappage ! Theirs more i`s to be dotted than a dicitonary holds and if you get it wrong its good night viena :)

PS13, was just thinking about you the other day (Yes indeed everyone I had a spare brain cycle that actually kicked in). Im having a ball right now mate, not literally, but I am with certain posters and predictions on here ! How are things your way ? Hope youve had a decent few weeks buddy , I also have a few "things" you may want to look at ! Hows business, you had as bad a may as the rest of the industry ? Or managed too ride the storm in anticpiation of the Quarter ends ?

HB, I just heard that car sales were down 20-25% for may :)

Slimchance, you know what, when someone makes as big a bold prediction as 17mill for Q1, for a company that has struggled to pull in that sort of profit in in 6months in the good times, in a market place that is down as it has been, then yes, I will be swinging past here just to remind people of the "truth" that lies beneath. Or are we for a backtrack now ? If you can back the 17million up, Im delighted to go through the numbers, if its all the usual airy fairyness, then "we reap what we sow" so to speak. Whats PDG down to now ? 270 dealerships or so. So a rough bit of maths would mean each one of them would have had to have returned approx £62962 NP to achieve such a number. That actually doesnot include the associated head office costs, so , even if Im being kind and stretch that too 300 dealerships at a np of £56,666 excluding HO and associated costs, not going too happen. You know why ? Because commercial ops are blowing £100`s of K`s bottom line, so even the good performing dealerships PDG have, the money they make is dwarged by these sites. However, on a seperate note, I do beleive PDG have set the current price for the staff share save scheme at 24.67p. I await your numbers and retort with great anticipation :)

to see I wasnt the only one in thinking that PB :)

abit of a golden oportunity here today for those in to tuck some cash away in the bank. Hillbilly, I didnt get into BSST, was too busy with AST and SLV to notice but glad to see you got in and got a good rise :) Oh, and its too bloody hot :)

holdings inclue SLV, LGO , AST, EML and another. i dont mention the other as Im still trying to buy more :) DSGI, I havent looked at so wont comment until I do mate, I will have a look over the weekend. I do however wonder, and Im working purely from memory, is the share issue really still factored into DSGI , aswell as results to come ( Again from memory, they havent had the best of trading periods). That is from memory however, and my memory aint as good as it used to be ! However, if you have some miners to stick my way, always happy too look through them right now :)

do keep a keen eye on inch aswell as VTU, both very well companies, and both same sector (for everyone else other than laid that doesnt). Im big into platinum right now laid, my main play is SLV, which over the next three months will play out rather well barring anything cataclysmic. Miners right now offer so much potential, once that dries up, Ill be back more into the motor groups then onto the next. CFM are well placed, I guess much like PDG over a period of time, I dipped in and out of their and did quite nicely, and once the market looses this short term mentality it has these days, CFM like PDG will do very decently

the nature of the beast Laid. I sold out back at 5 odd p from being in at 1 odd p. Nature of the beast mate. You set your limts, you stick too them. The funny thing is people think , I have something against this share. Actually, over a 2 year period this will return very well, over a shorter term period the result Vs the books remains to be seen. Given this will be in one of the sectors first out the "global recession", the returns will be nice for those who hold. I do however have some major reservatiosn on the gearing, I do however have a great deal of confidence in Messers Finn and Casha to do what they do best, pull things out of the bag.

is the key. As to itsadusters nail post, you need nails here ? I think you actually need a non boredum streak that lasts for a long while :) Buy / Dont buy / Sell / Dont sell..... IF people are basing investment decisiosn on posts, which people do, then good luck too you :)

to see your kicking back, just remember to keep those plants nice and fead in this weather :) As for PDG, over a decent stint this will do well, however you know my take on the "predictions" we have seen around here, especially the 17mill Q1 profit which I am eagerly awaiting to see it not materialise :)

what I beleive to be a very good day indeed Hillbilly. My main play, in SLV ticked up quite nicely in anticipation for June and onwards, and the rest did the same :) I also got bought into the two other targets on the list at the price I wanted, and they ended the day breakeven from a 6% spread so quite delighted ! Currently just sitting pouring another beer and enjoying this thing we might even be able to call summer mate :)

save scheme is for the PDG employees, where by they stick x amount away each month then can buy shares at a pre-agreed price (probably todays price or last fridays or an average of the two) 3 years, 4, years , 5 years or 7 years later. Should the shares have dipped, then you would get your money back with a little interest. So looks good to be an employee right now :) How was yoru day hillbilly

is very interesting is Vertu`s statement this morning, re looking to make some aquisitions in the current climate. You have too ask what aquisitions are they looking to make, potentially some PDG dealerships ? Anyhow, nice tick up, which is quite nice as the latest share save scheme has just been announced today at PDG !

critically important, depending on your trading range, is people are forgetting their in on the market at one of the lowest points for a long time on alot of stocks. Theirs a very short-term mentality right now, the bigger rewards will be reaped by those that have sowed for longer ! I have enough EML to sink a battleship SM, so I wont be adding. Such is my view on EML is that I dont even check what price its at, , Ill do that in a few months to a year, as then I know itll be worth not watching the paint try as currently is the situation. It will play very long over 6months to a year or two so its very low maintenance. Alot of good buying opportunities atm, the hardest part is picking the ones for maximising returns :)
