I enjoyed two lovely online seminars with some of you - they really cheer me up after being stuck at home without seeing many people for so long.
We managed some fun and banter online, and I was amazed at the number of great looking trades that came up. At the advanced lovely to see so many of you I have had a drink with at the bar at that certain hotel!
There is a new date if you missed it - July 28th. I thought do one during the school hols for those of you who can't make it during term time. Mail me if interested. Hopefully this will especially suit teachers! Mail to robbiethetrader@aol.com with "July seminar interested" in the subject line. Remember i am beamed direct to your home!
I had my second Astra jab on Monday. All very efficient though had to stand for 30 mins waiting in the heat. Phew.
There were two queues: one for the youngsters getting their pzier jab and one for us oldies getting the second astra jab.
I find it amazing how smooth the whole thing was - from booking to the finish. Considering the numbers involved a great job by the nhs.
The jabbed arm felt a lot more sore than the first jab but apart from feeling very slightly sick for 2-3 hours no major side effects.
The only problem now is the Government and Bill Gates can now track me - I will save them the bother for later as I do intend to walk to Tescos to get some crisps.
Well that was a first! I saw a product on Dragons Den and actually bought it that night!
The dragons fought over getting an investment in it - Peter Jones and Deborah ended up sharing it.
The product itself is simple, like all good ideas. Apparently households throw away over 60 plastic bottles of household cleaning product every year which all goes into landfill.
So, instead of piling up the plastic say hi to "Homethings".
90pc of detergents you buy is water btw!
Instead Homethings supply you with three different coloured glass bottles. Fill the bottle up with water then add a small tablet, give it a shake and now you have a bottle of housecleaner that beat two of the top detergents in cleaning power.
The tabs are environment friendly and even the packaging of the tabs is compostable.
One colour does windows and mirrors, one bathroom and the other everything else.
Once you have the lovely glass bottles just reorder the tabs when you need them so no more buying detergents from the supermarket, making your bags a bit lighter!
There we are, simple as that, used them for three weeks now and works great and we just ordered our next set of tabs. Pricewise per littre it works out similar or cheaper than your usual product.
I was so impressed I wondered if I could get a stake in the company and join Peter and Deborah.
Lucky for me they were doing a funding round on Crowdcube and I now own £10,000 of Homethings. EIS-able so I get some tax relief and any profit will be tax free.
Of course that money is now tied up for some time but if I was Homethings I would be aiming for an AIM market listing in 3-4 years.
I would hope Homethings could by then make profits of £10m plus which would allow a market value of say £200 million and a nice exit with many times profit for my initial stake.
Of course on the other hand maybe this area will become too competitive and I will never get my money back. Overall then I just assume the £10k has gone and any profits made in the future will be a fun bonus and in the meantime I should get info on how Homethings is going and I will report back from time to time to you.
Sadly of course I am not in at such good terms as Peter and Deborah but seems fair enough given they will be putting effort into promoting and managing and I won't be! Afraid the recent funding round is over now, but there might be another one later in the year, if that happens will let you all know.
If you would like to try a Homethings pack I have a fiver off link here for you (hope it works) just click here: http://fbuy.me/rX4ts
You get the three lovely glass bottles and your starter kit of tabs to get cleaning knowing nothing will go into landfill.
The cat brought in another frog. Except this time he brought it upstairs. It disappeared somewhere in the house and cat lost interest.
At 1.30 am I discovered where it was as strange noises came from under the bed. It took an hour to try and get it out from under - who'd have thought frogs could travel so fast.
I have given the cat a bollocking but fear this will go unheard and I bet the next time he will dump a frog on the bed - just hoping it isn't in the middle of the night and I get rudely awakened by a frog leaping on my head. Lucky for me he is crap at hunting and never gets a bird or mouse.
Slightly better news on my pains - my work on TMS seems to be working. At any rate have managed more walking and for the first time a ride on my bike round the block. things must be looking up!
Great to spend time with some of you at the last zoom seminar.
There's a new date if you missed this one, it's on July 28th, come and spend all day with me online and live markets, and you can even see all my accounts! (Don't hack them and buy crap for me). Mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "July interested" in the subject line.
Jas, thanks for your mail as you've been to two zoom seminars.
"Just wanted to say thank you for a couple of wonderful seminars.
Your seminars were brilliant. Delivered methodically and with just a simple honest approach to dealing with the markets. You've helped me immensely in sorting my trading plan out and finding a good and profitable way to trade. After many months trying to figure out level 2, you sorted that out in one afternoon.
Since the seminar, I have placed 5 trades, 2 have closed out with profits and 3 are still running with profits. All trades placed using fundamental research and not Youtube videos
from David:
"Well it doesn't happen often, but I am absolutely speechless! I don't think I have ever spent a more worthwhile day nor spent money more wisely and gladly.
I for one was practically at the point of orgasm all day in my enjoyment and appreciation of what you were presenting! Even though I have read NT time and again, to see you going through the process of stock assessment over and over was incalculably useful and I managed to take six A4 pages of notes during the day. I was fascinated to learn about (and see) Level 2 in action and learn more about Spread "˜Betting'.
I thought the presentation balance was perfection, and Elizabeth was a complete star with her very well-judged handling of the questions....
.....This is a rather long-winded way of saying thank you so much to both of you - today was one of the top five most enjoyable days of my life, and I greatly look forward to joining you again!"
from Giles:
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for the seminar last week. It was exactly what I needed to give me the additional confidence I need having read your books. You managed the almost impossible task of making a full day on a Zoom call really enjoyable and importantly, really useful. I also think the way you worked together to cover off all the questions the group had throughout the day was fantastic."
For those of you who missed that one, the next will be March 17th, and
anyone welcome to spend the day with me and Elizabeth. Mail for details
at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "March interested".
Elizabeth has been brilliant for the electronic sessions, asking me the hardest
questions put by attendees in the all the day chat room a la Jeremy Paxman. She also does some
great sorting out of any tech problems delegates have.
Naked Rambling
I've been working from home since 2000 and it is so annoying that it as suddenly become trendy. It is irritating if I go out that you rat racers are all out and about pretending to be working from your house when clearly you're not doing much really.
Your WFH holiday is over. Get back to the office and the beady eye of your boss. You know you want to really.
Just think you can get back into office gossip, have Pret A Manger lunches, and enjoy moaning about how badly the company is run and how much better it would be if you ran it.
I suspect some women (I am not being sexist here, let's face it, it is mainly men into football!) are sighing. Just when you thought the football season had ended the Euros have started, yes another four weeks of it.
My money is on Belgium and France btw. Of course I hope England and Scotland do well but England always manage to screw it up near the end. Afraid Scotland has no chance. Sorry!
Oh and fyi domestic football all starts up again in August.
I have - and with mixed emotions about it - decided to no longer go to Fulham games.
My son is now nearly 17 and of course he doesn't want to go with me anymore but piss about with his mates instead. Fair enough.
Part of me is sad about it. I went to home games with him since he was five and away games since he was 13.
I have been all over the country with him some weekends - I can't even list all the places but Liverpool, Barnsley, Millwall, Spurs, Derby, Sheffield, Cardiff among many places I would never have visited.
Lots of adventures. Running for trains, missed coaches. Cancelled trains. Highs and lows (mainly losses of course).
In fact thinking about I must have visited nearly every premier league and championship ground with him.
Most magical? Standing between the Liverpool and Everton grounds having an ice-cream in the park as they are so close together.
Most friendly? The two Sheffield clubs. And Barnsley. Ok then anywhere up North!
Most miserable and grumpy place? Stoke. Most aggressive fans? Millwall and Birmingham.
Worst catering and worst s-hole for away fans? Aston Villa.
Most fun day? Bournemouth. We spent the weekend there on a hot weekend. Despite already being relegated from the premier league the fans brought lots of inflatable beach balls and stuff making it an afternoon to remember and we won 1-0!
All in all I think we are lucky to support a smaller team. I'd hate to be a big six fan, the grounds in the main are pretty soulless and corporate in particular Arsenal (Sorry!). I reckon what I will do is go for one away game a season with him to retain the father son bond.
Clarkson's Farm **** (Amazon)
Surprisingly entertaining series as Clarkson tries to run his farm after the previous
Farmer retired. The gist of it is in the end, don't try farming - it is too hard to make money out of it. Oh, and it is really hard work and everything can go wrong at any time.
Clarkson comes over really well though of course you know he can throw as much money as he likes at his problems given Amazon must be paying him a ton. Clarkson's girlfriend manfully tries to get the farm shop profitable though hard when Clarkson's candle made from his own beeswax is entitled "This is what my bollocks smell of."
Star of the show though really is young Kaleb and Clarkson's financial advisor is truly one of life's morose characters. Spoiler ahead: After a year of very hard work the farm yields a profit of £148. Thank goodness for Amazon but you really would not want to be a farmer right now.
Time **** Bbc1
The 100 (****) Amazon
Kind of Games of Throney sci fi ish series without the GOT sex quotient. 100 youngsters find themselves dumped on a post nuclear war world from space by adults to see if they can survive. They are then joined by the adults and a war is started with those who survived on the planet.
Cue lots of survival stuff, fights with swords, moral dilemmas. That all might sound a bit crap but I was drawn into it and although a bit crazy with some nutty plot holes it all works and can even get a touch addictive!
Dragons Den (***)
Theo has made a comeback to take the place of Peter who is self isolating. And that immediately takes a star off for me.
Theo destroys everything in his path, is grumpier than Bannatyne was, seems to think everything is sh1t and slags all in his path. Maybe his shops selling pants or whatever haven't been doing to well? Oh and he doesn't make any offers. Before that though I did buy a DD product and invested in the business as detailed elsewhere! Oh one more thing, please no more baby products, no-one ever offers for them.
Ramsay's To Hell And Back (Ch4) (***)
Formulaic as each episode is pretty much the same. The ever watchable potty mouth arrives at a crap restaurant. The owners don't care. Ramsay finds rotting food, terrible cooking and beaten owners. His minions tart it up over 24 hours while he effs and blinds at the staff and owners. Then it all ends happily as now the food is great and the staff miraculously changed.
One suspects once Gordon has effed off the restaurant returns to being sh1t. You can't change people in 24 hrs, in my experience you can't change them at all. My main takeaway is how can you eat in any US restaurant given all in the show have filthy kitchens not cleaned for years how do they pass inspections?
Boris J reckons Matt Hancock is effing useless. (Cummings is enjoying a long cold revenge, make sure you never get on the wrong side of him)
But if that is true, Michael Gove has proved himself to be even more useless.
He told a talk show host Scotland will beat
England 3-0. The host offered him odds of 3-1 for that to happen and Gove took the price. That really is an effing useless thing to do.
Anyone would know 3-1 is a conman's price for Scotland to win 3-0 when 100-1 is available with most bookies.
Hell, I would have given Gove 500-1.
I've put a few quid on England to win 2-0. At 5-1.
A survey says 44% of women fantastise about having sex with a celebrity.
Ah that's why the mrs suddenly shouted "Brad, oh Brad" the other night.

EMAILS: I do beg you not to send me emails asking me for advice on a particular share. It isn't legal for me to give you individual advice and all I do is send you a mail saying that, which wastes a lot of my time and yours too.
****
COPYING TRADES: I can't stop you from copying a trade I made but remember the price may already be a lot higher than I paid indeed I hope it is as buying at good prices is what I do for a living. You may be buying at the top and could easily lose money. Also I can make terrible mistakes and have done in the past. I could also sell before you or before the share tanks. I may still be holding in a year when you sold at a loss. Always do your own research, don't jump in blindly. Market makers are very clever at knowing how to make you pay top dollar and then push you out at a loss. This site is about sensible investment and learning how to trade sensibly and is not a tipping site. Beware. Never push buy on anything till you've done proper research and got yourself a sensible price.

I've had many queries as to when I will be getting the "Naked money" podcasts up and running again. A series where I teach a novice trader how to do it and
every week we pick a share.
Glad to report the 6k we invested together is now
over 9k, a 50pc return over 5 months.
Soon I hope as soon as the osteopath fixes the slipped discs and can sit for more than 15 mins. If you didn't catch it search for naked money whereever you get podcasts from.
My more entertainment based podcast with fun and music as well as lots of shares chat "The naked trader radio show" I hope to get going again soon.
If you never caught that google it, there are four shows, the latest "the naked trader radio show podcast 4"
As I've been saying for some time, markets continue to be well supported even though we are in the summer months when you can get falls on lack of interest and liquidity.
The day trading, forex and bitcoin scams seem to be getting worse.
Let me underline this; you will DEFINITELY LOSE if you try to day trade or play forex.
Yet another email has arrived for me "Make £1,000 a day with Bitcoin". Well, surely that depends on what sort of mood Elon Musk is in today or what he tweets.
Scam trading courses, instagram trading scams, it's everywhere. It probably means sooner than later we will have a market correction.
But for right now as I mentioned, the market really doesn't seem to want to have a slump and keeps shrugging off anything negative. The main negative seems to be inflation rises perhaps leading to interest rate rises.
It's tricky - thanks to some recent bids on big positions the isas and spreadbet accounts are swollen with loot. So is it nearly time to bank some profits?
Indeed the isas all added together have gone well over £2 million again after I took a big wad out a while back to buy a property.
I am dead pleased given over the years all I have ever put into the isas is the yearly allowance and I haven't even put this year's in, and actually I don't need to.
Sometimes people ask me how much I put into the markets over the years or how much I have made percentage wise or do I compare % increases to a certain index and all that. Well, simply I'm not sure, I don't do spreadsheets, what's in the accounts are, well, in the accounts. I take out what I need to take out to live.
Hang on I have piqued my own interest now. How much have I put in over the years? Going to head to the internet now to find out what the allowance has been.
Right I am back !
£7,000 from 2000 to 2010 then it went to around an average of £11,000 from 2010-2014.
Then £15,000 to 2017, thereafter £20,000.
So all in all then I must have put in around £170,000 as I missed adding any new in three of those years.
I reckon if I hadn't taken out money to buy a property it would stand at about £2.5 million now, so very roughly over 20 odd years I have turned £170,000 into £2.5 million, that
really is get rich slowly. Of course gains were slower in the early years with less money and quicker in later years as the loot went up.
I wonder how much has come from dividends? I have not a clue - a guess would be £300,000.
I hope you don't think the above is bragging.Well, ok maybe a bit and there is nothing worse than reading someone's smug profits. I get that and sorry if I am being annoying.
What I am actually trying to convey is it IS possible to make a lot with mainly just the isa allowance with patience over the years without having to touch oil, bitcoin, forex, penny shares, commodities, high risk crap and all the usual malarkey.
It has all been made by just buying quality companies with real profits and a real future and not jam today, bulletin board favourites or cos with massive debt.
I also made the money by cutting losers and running profits.
And during the bear parts I did go into some cash and shorted.
Onto current trading. As I said above I start to get wary when I've had a good run and I was eyeing up banking some profits.
With the portfolio doing very nicely I hadn't really intended on doing much buying this summer, indeed was more thinking about banking some great gains.
But then the two online seminars happened!
My seasoned investors at the follow up/advanced seminars came up with some brilliant ideas and at the beginners/improvers some decent ideas came up from some screening and I just couldn't help myself and did quite a lot of live buying both days.
I'm not going to list all of them here through laziness of having to write them up and then follow then through to the eventual profit or loss!
But here are one or two of them.
Perhaps surprisingly at the advanced seminar the top vote went to Science Group (SAG) as a lovely isa tuckaway.
It's one of those shares that goes unnoticed/untouched except for my advanced group! The shares have strong momentum off the back of a bullish trading update and strong results.
Revenue, profit and operating margins are all up. There is plenty of cash and management has skin in the game and bullish on prospects reporting operating profit likely to be 30pc higher in H1 2021. Downside? Not too many market makers in this one and so the spread can go to the wide side but usually it is fairly easy to deal well inside it. For example today the buy price looks like 410. It is actually 395!A nice idea for a safeish isa tuckaway for those with patience.
Shares have a history of rising, then consolidating, (price not moving much) then rising again. Looks like it is in a consolidating stage before another step up, targeting 450p then 500p.
Alumasc ALU is another share which is building nice momentum and we looked at this one at both zoom events. The shares appear to be in some demand.
It is breaking out on 1 year chart at the moment and very close to breaking out to a new all-time high and one that has to be tucked away for a brilliant long-term profit. A bit like SAG shares tend to stay put
for a bit then re-rate upwards. Strong near term tailwinds expected in the form of pent up demand due to resumption in construction industry affecting their main markets.
Similar to Science, ALU is a nice under the radar one which should prove beneficial to real investors and not robinhood gamblers!
These kinds of shares need patience to hold while they are not moving though!
I rarely buy anything that has just had a profits warning but occasionally something gets marked down too much and I thought that about Clinigen. CLIN
I have looked at the shares a few times and Clinigen has come up on screens at the zoom seminars but the debt always put me off so never bought. But.. I thought the 30pc markdown over a couple of days looked too much given the warning.
So I bought a few but with quite a tight stop so if it carried on tanking I'd be out. It has been going up since and nicely my stop is now at break even. The warning didn't seem to merit the massive markdown so I have broken a rule. I know, bloody hypocrite!
Another at the seminars was Ultra Electronics (ULE). We noted that defence shares seem to be quite in demand, indeed the one I have a big holding in, Qinetic has been going great guns. (Guns, defence gettit?)
Indeed we wondered if we would start to see some bids in the defence sector and both ULE and QQ. are potential bid targets.
ULE has a lovely looking profits rise chart over the years and forecasts suggest profits should carry on going up while debt is reasonable. So I have snapped up a few and think they could end up a lot higher.
I added some more Clipper Logistics even though the debt is on the high side - but it has big net assets so I have taken those into account. Logistics groups are in big demand and with everyone wanting everything delivered, I do wonder if we will see some bids.
We discussed at the seminars when to sell a share. I reckoned always look at a share from scratch as if you had never seen it before. If you would buy it, buy more. If you're not sure sell half, if you now would not buy it, sell.
We did this test with Gattaca GATT which I have made a ton on as in quick order it has doubled and more. I pretended I had never seen it before, we did the research, and, well on the day I decided I would still be a buyer..
So I bought a few more. Brokers on research-tree have targets of 280-320p for GATT shares. (For broker notes go to research-tree.com. For discount click "upgrade" put "nakedtrader" into discount code).
Today the Gattaca founder bought 100,000 shares which cost him a quarter of a million quid, how is that for confidence in his own company!
I'm reluctant to short when markets are rising but Games Workshop (GAW) caught my eye and looked expensive.
A fine company actually but with a valuation heading up towards £4bln it looks too high compared to a likely profit forecast so I think it is being re-rated downwards to a more sensible valuation. I don't see this as a long-term short so once it hits support I'll exit.
So nothing against GAW at all just a bit high. I said that because I know it is a punter favourite and to stop me getting emails along the lines of "How dare you short my fave stock, you (expletives follow). (Can you imagine the troll mail I would get if I shorted BooHoo! I'd have to leave the country. Spain would be nice).
I've sold half my bid for Vectura - I thought it seemed sensible to carry on keeping some in case of a rival bid but I probably won't hang about for too much longer. I thought would take half before the special 19p dividend and take the div for the other half which has been gratefully received.
For website purposes then I have closed half the trades which results in a very nice profit for the website of £10,865.
Same comment for the other bid Spire with half sold. Another big institution has opposed the sale at the bid price. So it is possible a better offer or a rival offer could come in. Maybe we get 300p. But given I can sell nicely above the current bid price means it seems sensible to bank some and keep some and see what happens.
For the site I sold the last trade for a profit of around £6,888.
I'd forgotten about a stake in a tiny tiddler, TP as it hadn't done much and I haven't thought about it in months but was reminded looking through early news stories. The statement was disappointing so exited for a loss of £1,700.
I guess this loss reminds me when you have so many shares like I have to it can be hard to keep on top of things but at least I did spot the news. Also a reminder to be careful with very small market caps and not to buy too much. Probably it is good value now
So there might be potential for a buy back but as a small one only to small stakes.
I took profits of £3,650 on Up Global - it has had a wonderful ride up quite fast and with its rating much higher it seemed a good time to bank the profit.
I took a loss of £130 on the Saga short which never looked like succeeding.
Profits of £2,225 taken on Mitie after a great run.
Volex has been very strong but took profits on results today. A very decent company but for now the price looks about right. Volex profits taken of £1,316.
WIth losses and profits all taken into account the overall profit for the site then is £21,798.
I was desperate to short the crazily overvalued new market entrant Made.com but sadly none of my spreadbet firms would allow it yet.
I had a chat with them and they all say it is hard for them to take trades on brand new issues in the first few days - but they promise it will be available to short in a few days.
Made's share price is way too high. I reckon directors decided to get onto the market before lockdown opens up and people go back into stores. A great short as and when I can get some. It is rated as a tech company when it isn't!
Elsewhere K3c came up with another "ahead of expectations" statement, this tiddler has been doing very well and no surprise if soon it can zoom past 400 on its way to 450. This has been a lovely performer!
Ince had been disappointing but at current support of 70-72p it could be a good entry point, I think they could go to 100p as a fairer rating.
Lucedo has gone very well and could be another legup coming.
Lots of shares going well in the portfolio though increasingly wondering about banking more profits than buying much new for the summer.
If you don't read about my life somewhere above detailed there is my purchase of some EISable shares in Homethings that was on Dragons Den - I have joined Peter Jones and Deborah in backing it - read up about near the top of this page.
Money Week offer:
Money Week is a decent magazine which I get as well as the IC.
Shares wise there are quite a few features every week including what a fund manager is buying, all the tips from the papers are covered including places like the Telegraph, Times, Mail, Shares Mag etc and also IPOs are covered.
There is also a decent property and travel section. Also coverage of topics like pension planning, tech, spending and current and future economics.
There is usually a feature on a section of the market, last week it was biotech. There's plenty of interesting political and market commentary and more in depth articles.
The kind of mag I enjoy reading in the bath and I always find something that makes me have a think, and that's quite hard for me..
On the link there is also a decent discount so it's around £28-£32 for 13 issues depending on whether the mag is sent to you by post or digital or both. Personally I like an old fashioned mag for bath reading!

Do let me know if any probs with getting the discount or freebies.
Spreadco is still paying 2pc interest up to £20,000 free cash which I enjoy getting and as we saw at the seminar its spreads on ftse 350 shares and the ftse always seem to be tightest.

**NEW OFFER: Research tree discount offer: 20pc off.***
As most of you are aware I don't take ads or recommend anyone apart from the
couple of firms I use all the time and trust.
I could probably make millions from agreeing to deals offered by forex cos,
dodgy systems et all. They're all con merchants and I would never ever sleep
at night if I just took their money, so I don't much to their bewilderment! That's
why you don't see any ads on the website.
However I actually approached a company to suggest I recommend them as long
as they gave my lovely readers a decent discount and it agreed.
The site is called research-tree and I really can recommend it as it is a big
help and complements the brilliant stockopedia, the only other site I recommend.
It is very hard as an investor to get hold of brokers notes/recommendations, their
in depth research on companies. Either it is expensive or there are silly rules re who
can access them.
So this site has broker notes on companies, plenty of in depth research. You can find things such as pre-tax profit forecasts and the most shorted companies. There's an easy search facility and also a news feed.
So for example on the morning of a share result or statement you can get a broker report on that share, it is really useful! Broker reports are usually very in depth and I especially like being able to see a full year pre tax profit forecast which seems impossible to get elsewhere.
You can get a limited free account - for full access if you like it - click "upgrade" and there is a 20 per cent discount if you type nakedtrader into the discount code box.
The address is research-tree.com - for the discount remember the code nakedtrader after you ask to upgrade. If you upgrade let me know if the upgrade thing works well and is easy or if you encountered any probs getting the 20pc off.
Ig created a stir among traders by axeing coverage of 900 odd shares. Customers were forced onto 100pc margin and many have not long to close them out,
It said it was forced into it by its own broker - I suspect sb firms are alarmed by the Gamestop palava and they've been inundated with too many new accounts chasing the same pump and dump shares.
Out of the 900 axed shares I only held two and am allowed to hang on as a "pro" trader.
Actually an interesting list of mostly rubbish and I suspect those forced out might be glad eventually!
There are some surprise bigger shares in there that IG will no longer deal in so for those of you who mailed me re other accounts I suggest
https://www.spreadco.com/nakedtrader
for the top 350 shares, spreads are often the best and it will deal in most 350 shares and some that IG won't. It also pays 2% interest on free cash up to 20k paid monthly.
For small caps try http://www.spreadex.com/nakedtrader. Spreadex say for the moment they will carry on with most of the shares so that could be another place to deal in shares IG won't.
Those who moan about 100pc margins, well I do suggest in my SB book not to use margin much - the sb firms can any time ask you to go 100pc. If this is a worry and you do not have the money to cover look on it as a warning and stop using too much leverage ok! (Yes Robbie stop being horrid to me).

Stockopedia as ever is SO useful. It really
is a must have! And some fantastic talented writers/commentators too like Paul
Scott.
Brilliant stats on all shares, amazing stock screens and even
discussion boards that are actually sensible and not barmy
blokes having a go at each other as if they were pissed in
a pub. Or weird obsessives.
https://www.stockopedia.com/nakedtrader/
gets you a big discount
and 14 days free trial.
If you are thinking of A ftse trade try https://www.spreadco.com/nakedtrader
as their spread is the tightest at 0.8. Also very
pleased with execution - FTSE cos the cheapest spreads
there too.
It is hard to find a firm that does prices on the very small companies but this company does: https://www.spreadex.com/nakedtrader
25% off Stockopedia sub and free trial
Stockopedia is indeed like a stock market encyclopaedia and a great place to scan for new shares to buy, check out fundamentals, discuss on a sensible bulletin board. Each share gets a ranking, you can use "guru" screens to find shares, there is even a stock screen loosely based on my criteria! There are strategies based on ideas from top investors.
There is lots more really fantastic material and I believe access should help investors and I now use it myself.
For your 25% discount off any sub (eg £56 discount off UK sub) and free 14 day trial you need this link:

Trade tables follow! Trades are current open and recently closed trades. Closed trades feature the closing price and the amount I won or lost. All others are open. Trades get updated a little later than the narrative. Trading costs are ignored, however I also do not add in dividend payments and with the kinds of companies I buy, dividends tend to equal or outweigh costs. Spread rollovers ignored for web purposes. Tables as accurate as poss however a mistake or two can creep in and very occasionally if I forgot I sold or bought something it will be added at a later time. Trades first reported in the diary under Markets every other Thursday afternoon.
