Naked Trader 4 Is Out - Yours With Free Nt T-Bags

Naked Trader 4 has just been published - it's only available from this website for the moment and on this link:

http://www.harriman-house.com/book/view/1040/trading/robbie-burns/the-naked-trader/1317
Or click the book on the right somewhere. Delivery of the book? It should be with you within 5 working days. And if you buy the print copy you get the e-book free!
As well as getting your hands on a copy three months before general release, you lucky readers will also get a free packet of Naked Trader T-Bags tested and approved for use with toast by yours truly!
The book is a total update since the last one which I wrote in 2011 - a lot has happened in the market since then and I cover all the changes such as the new ISAs and duty free AIM shares.
There are tons of ideas, trader stories, psychology, biggest trading mistakes and 20 trading strategies to make money. Also loads of stuff I have learned over the last three years.
New insights into trading tax free, tons of examples, a whole load of new traders' tales and some of the trades that have helped to make me well over £2 million tax free.
If you bought NT 3, I think you'll find it is worth getting the update. My new views on AIM shares now they are tax free, loads of analysis of trades I made more recently. And loads of new stuff on psychology and why you might be losing, including a new look at confirmation bias and the effect this has on your choices.
I would say this but I think it's my best effort yet, especially pleased with the stuff I've written on why so many people end up losing. I've met a lot of people at seminars and talking to them really helped me to understand the problems encountered and so pass that on.
I hope you enjoy reading it, and that it helps you with your current trading, or if a newbie, helps you from the start.
We're all currently winding down for our exciting road trip to California and by the way thanks to all of you who've mailed us with your thoughts on where we should go and what we should do.
At the mo, we have a hire car, a few hotels set up and some ideas and some catch up with relatives, and loads of empty days where we shall see where life takes us!
Christopher finishes school middle of next week so a lot more football and cricket games coming my way!

Before we go we've been trying to fit in meeting old friends and doing catch ups so we've had lots of nice events and nights outs.
I've discovered a great new idea in posh restaurants that offer nice bread rolls.
I don't really want to fill up on bread so I ask for a doggy bag for the rolls and have them next morning hot from the oven with jam...mmmmmmm!!

I look forwards to meeting some of you on Monday for the seminar (there is still space if you'd like to come)

Do register, grab a seat... we'll get going at 10am. No idea when we will finish as once I get going it is hard to shut me up!

We'll research new shares live, watch the live markets, try and find trades, see how to get the best price for a trade, how to find shares and a whole lot more all live. Together with a great lunch, brilliant snacks and loads of tea and chocs. Hope you enjoy it and I hope to get some trades out of it myself...

Come and relax, and enjoy it. Do feel free to ask questions and don't think any question is too "dumb" not to be asked.

If you missed this one the next is on Monday September 22nd. mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com for details with "September seminar interested" in the subject line. There is a large discount for early bookers.

Beginners and improvers welcome! Come and spend the day with me, the markets and some lovely people - and of course, lunch, lots of sugary snacks, and even live chocolate waffle making in the teabreak!

My seminars are designed for beginners, dabblers and improvers and deals with everything from how to look for winners, how to research, spreadbetting, level 2 use how to time trades and short, how to use advfn properly and run your portfolio without having to spend money on systems and tipsters.. and tons more.

A lot of the day comes directly from the live markets and I show you many of the tricks I use to get good prices live. And there might even be the odd live trade or 2!

Here's some feedback from the last one from "D"

'It's obvious from his site Robbie Burns is a good market analyst and shrewd stock-picker. He is also a highly opinionated commentator on everything from TV shows to food. Therefore I expected his seminar to be 75% entertainment, 15% general exposition for beginners and-- if we were lucky-- 10% of something I could use to help me invest. But I could not have been more wrong.

The opinions on food and politics etc. though genuine, are I believe a bit of disguise or misdirection for there is a real touch of rebel genius here. And in the seminar, which is 95% hardball, he actually takes you candidly right into the mental process involved in his successful trading, making it a pretty amazing display, even showing his own investment accounts right there on the screen. You can see at once why so many of us are merely stabbing in the dark with our investments.

This is a genuine coaching session in how to trade like him if you put in the graft. I have only bought one stock since, as I am waiting for the tools he recommends, but I got the price down by using his tactics and I cannot recommend the seminar too highly if you are going there to learn. It must be taxing on him to let us at such length and in such detail into the process, which has made him so much money (for--unlike so many other so-called experts the seminars are not a day job). My advice therefore would be to sign up for this while he is still prepared to do it.'

Date is July 14th Heathrow with me and all day research, timing, direct access and attempts to find new trades etc. It is a small group so a good one to attend!

Naked Trader Seminar Latest News

NEW DATE: SEPTEMBER 22 NEAR HEATHROW
Fancy spending a day with me, learning all the ways I have learned over the years to find good shares and play the markets? Well, you can at one of my seminars!
Booking is open for the Naked Trader seminar on SEPTEMBER 22

Price is £650 plus vat. However there is a decent early bookers discount available for those booking nice and early.
That includes three course lunch, coffees, snacks etc.
The seminar is mainly aimed at beginners and dabblers though improvers are welcome too.
Topics covered using live market feeds all day include: Market psychology, level 2 - a simple guide to how to use it for better timing; how to value companies; finding companies that are about to rise. I will also cover techniques for handling events such as the recent meltdown and volatility.
Spreadbetting: How to use it to gain an edge and go short. Market makers - how they work and how to beat them; how to stop losing money and make it instead and plenty more.
How to plan trade entries and exits - how to research companies and understand reports, plus all those niggly questions you always wanted to ask. How to set stop losses and targets. Charts and how to use them.
Also covered: Market maker tricks: How to spot tree shakes and use them in your favour, How to tell when NOT to buy a share. I use live ADVFN all day with lots of level 2 and looks at all kind of live market data.
The idea behind the seminar is SIMPLICITY. I don't use jargon or fancy words - everything is in PLAIN ENGLISH! No question is too stupid and the event is held in a friendly relaxed and supportive environment.
The idea is you will come away from the event I hope a wise and better investor with lots of new ideas. I try and translate complex topics into easy bite size pieces. I also aim for it to be entertaining as well as instructive.
If you are interested please e-mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "July seminar interested" in the subject line and I will send you full details of the event including comments from those who have come to previous seminars and you can then decide whether you would like to come. See you there!
One seminar attendee Clare wanted to write a testimonial about her experiences at the seminar which follows now!
"I've just come back buzzing from one of Robbie's seminars. What a day! He's just brilliant, and manages to pack an awful lot into one day, and with his enthusiastic and humorous delivery the day just flies by. There are no gimmicks, no sell, no "˜get-rich-quick' promises, just his own solid, sound approach which he has learnt over the years and which works.
He shows you how to minimise the risks and maximise the profits and points out the banana skins on the way. Where the seminar really comes into its own is when he teaches using live level 2. Hearing him talk through his thought processes and reasoning is invaluable, and really brings home everything from the book. He has endless patience answering peoples' questions, and really seems to care that everybody understands.
On top of that, you meet some really nice like minded people and swap e mail addresses, you're plied with
chocolates and coffee all day, have a great lunch and spend the evening getting tiddled with Robbie in the
bar afterwards! You might even get to see the amazing crocodile boots . . . .
Don't worry about the cost, it's easily worth it, and you'll soon make it back with your new-found investment skills, and in what you're no longer losing. If you're thinking of going along to his next seminar, whether you're a novice or an experienced trader, don't hesitate ""just go!
Thanks Clare, did you want the tenner in cash, or will a cheque do?

Naked Rambling

I had to laugh at Ed Moribund's hopeless speech to "workers" at a factory.
when he asked for questions he didn't get a single one. Why? Because normal people can't understand a word of the guff he talks about.
He doesn't speak in plain English, he speaks political guff. Pointless heavy language to cover the fact there is no substance in it. Still at least he didn't say "cost of living crisis" which he tends to repeat when in trouble. Hasn't the World Cup been fascinating?
Loads of goals and some of the underdogs have made it to the quarters which is fantastic. Well done especially to Costa Rica. But as a sad Fulham fan we have to say "Why didn't you play like that for us?"
I've made quite a few quid on the spreads by buying the time of the first goal in later matches which tends to be around 36 minutes (if a goal is scored later than that you win)
It's because the later games tend to be a lot tighter, and so goals tend to be scarce early on. I am still on Argentina and Brazil but now not sure about either of them now..
I tend to agree kids shouldn't be taken out of school - but for a wedding, or funeral etc I don't see why not.
Also around this time of year I also don't see why if parents want to get away early they shouldn't be allowed to go.
That's because once exams/mock exams are over like now, they do eff all of any use at school and they may as well be allowed to leave for hols early.
The teachers right now seem to be just filling in time showing them videos. For example Christopher is not released till next Wednesday.
Well, why not just make it this Friday? They won't do anything in the two days left of that week.
Onto TV and apart from the World Cup as everything seems crap we are racing through Orange is the new Black on Netflix.
Give it a go: it really is good, not quite as good as Breaking Bad but still very watchable.
The finale of Fargo I thought was excellent it's been a really great series.
Meanwhile Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul is due to air next year, can't wait!
I use this company to spreadbet sports with

Good quick execution of bets and a great range of markets. Recommended!

I agree with comments about Dr Who and Breaking Bad. I used to enjoy Dr. Who years ago but I think it's worn out, it's all about celebrity now, like everything else on telly.

I recently was enjoying the Sopranos a friend let me borrow (fascinating story lines) and my son Rob in Australia (an irrelevance to you of course), he said if you like Sopranos you'll love Breaking Bad. Wow was he ever right. I got the full set from Amazon (apart from the last season). I'm having to eke it out it's so brilliant I don't want it to end, that's the sad bit. What about the uncle in the desert in the wheelchair with the bell strapped to the arm of the chair, the missus and me just fell about and many more just brilliant set ups dragging out every emotion.

Agree Dave, love Breaking Bad. Only five to go for me and I won't spoil what happens for you except it gets more and more addictive!

"For throwing your heart, soul and energy into one fact-packed, full-on and exhaustingly educational day: FIVE stars with no hesitation!!
Met some really nice people too - like me, nervous that it was the most we'd ever spent on a whole day of anything (had we made arses of ourselves?) But no one felt short-changed, especially when you were still going strong when we all wanted to go to bed! One of your delegates, Susan, back for a second time, said to me unequivocally, "you will go away absolutely inspired." I can't disagree.
Thanks Gary, hope you make some money!

Duane writes:
Wanted to say a big thank you to you and Mrs NT for an amazing day of learning and fun at your seminar.

The way you explained the share trading from start to finish was understandable and really interesting, well worth the seminar fee!
It was great to hear such down to earth and honest assessment from a successful trader like yourself. The way you explained everything was good revision from your book and gave further insight into successful share trading.

I particularly liked your live trades and going through your accounts when you gave snippets of why you invested in certain shares and why you kept/dumped them. Also helpful was the way you searched for prospective shares and within minutes discounted them or put them on a short list for further examination and correct entry points. Amazing!
You could really tell that you loved doing what you do and your energy levels to keep going till 10pm was well....... I had to leave at 9pm I was shattered!

Thanks again Robbie I am keen to put into practice what you have taught me. Even though you make squillions from your trades and I am sure don't need to do the seminars for financial gain, but please keep doing those seminars for newbies like me!

Thanks Duane! Don't expect to be doing them foreever but very rewarding for me to help people so expect to carry on for a while longer.
Gabriel writes:
If you are reading this, you are perhaps considering going on one of Robbie's Seminars. You maybe asking yourself (like I did) the testimonials are all well and good but once the euphoria and excitement of attending a Seminar has died down ..... and I am back home in my normal routine and faced with the "graft" of putting it all into practice... will I become a better trader and be financially better off?
Let me tell you that in my case it certainly has!
Book your place pretty sharpish....... is what I say !

Thanks Gabriel!

Terry writes:
Fantastic seminar.

I have always been sceptical of the public testaments you see on web sites
saying how great an event was. Now I'm one of those people!. I
genuinely believe that the tips and techniques as well as the overall
approach you demonstrated will radically improve my trading performance
Thanks Terry, well all the testaments are real but know what you mean and glad you feel it was worth it!

I have 3 great offers from ADVFN.


ADVFN level 2 offer

This compares to £473 direct from advfn inc vat so this deal saves you over a whopping £120! ADVFN level 2 also includes all the live trades made through Plus Markets which I find invaluable.

Markets

***
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. This includes asking me what to do with a share, what I might "think" about a share, or deconstructing any of the buys I mention here. I would be grateful, see FAQ for more on this. Of course more than happy to answer general questions not related to specific shares.
****
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.

A reminder next seminar is September 22, Mail me for details at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "September seminar interested" in the subject line.

There's a follow up next Monday July 14th if you've been to one before and fancy a catch up and lots of live trading! Mail me if interested.


They've been trying to go down but still not doing badly!
As you know I'm shortly off to California for the summer road trip so only trading very lightly.
However a few shares that dropped a bit came onto my radar.
One which looked a decent buy was 888 Group (888). This online gaming company has been hit by worries over gaming taxes but they are way overdone. Recent statement was excellent and it has tons of cash.
Anything under 130 looks like a great price and I snapped mine up at 115.7. They look a bargain now. I'd have thought a move back to the 150 area not that far away.
Another one was Xaar. (XAR)
I bought Xaar at 482.4 Xaar is a digital inkjet printing company that could previously do no wrong.
But management warned revenues are going to be lower for now.

However the market looks to the future and that eventually looks bright for Xaar with a lot of new products about to hit the market and it expects revenues to flow from those in the second half of the year so I reckon a good time to get in while it is weak before these come through.
Xaar looks a great price now at anything under 550, I am targetting it to get back up to the 650 area in time.

Results from Hayward Tyler (HAYT) were excellent and so I topped up yesterday morning.
Strong revenue growth, a massive increase in profit, dividend introduced.
Also what's interesting is it's in markets that could quickly grow into big ones such as cleaner power generation in India and China.
This has the feeling of a lovely under the radar-types with a potential massive future ignored by pi's who are more interested in the same ten risky oil stocks!
I'm certainly happy to have increased my stake in Hayward and consider that probably now looking at a long-term hold of it unless anything unexpected surfaces. It looks a cheap buy up to a quid. Hoping for an eventual 130-150 from it.
And I topped Regenersis. (RGS) getting a new lot at 292.7.
Already making decent profits on it and couldn't resist getting some more after it was sold off too much.
Well the big news is Kentz which is being taken over at 935.
I've been bowled over with emails from many of you in this because of me and some of you have made eye-watering amounts.
I'm really pleased for you all, and well done for sticking with it like I did from much lower prices.
Profits for the current site positions are well over £20,000 at the bid price.
Over the years buying and selling it have made me over £100,000. My only regret is... why did I ever take profits on it previously or at all, but then hindsight is a great thing.
I feel a bit sorry to see it go in a way but it is a lovely end to a great story. Chances of a rival bid are slim but just holding onto a few in case, and at any rate the current price is very close to the bid.
So a big farewell to lovely Kentz and will enjoy banking the last £20,000 profit for the site and a bit more than that for me in reality. And I am pretty glad I topped up for the website just a month ago!
Again, congrats to all of you who were in it.. especially Chris the builder from Wigan who bought it after one of my seminars way back when!
The thing is, if you are in a decent company, eventually there will be a bid.
I sold my ssy for a small loss. Not sure why it went down and thinking of buying back soon. And I sold Ams for a small profit because it was weak but I am just about to buy it back at a slightly lower price.
HIGHLIGHTS
Iomart proved a nice recent buy - it needs to get through 225 to go higher but is trying hard at the moment.
And GVC, what a great trade that is turning out to be, that has continued with its upward climb with capital rising and a magnificent dividend too. It's been rising steadily for some time and seems to be no stopping it for now, great profits building.
Entertainment One has climbed back up again and heads very nicely higher.
OPG put out a statement this week the market really seemed to like, pushing it well over 100p again. This one could be a big winner, well it already is, up more that 50% on the first buy.
Seeing Machines put out a very comprehensive statement saying how it was going to use the cash it raised recently.
A very sensible statement from what seems sensible management. Downside is it won't make money for a while, upside, if it does succeed it might end up a big company and a potential takeover target. Worth being patient with, tucking away and forgetting about.
Carpetshite reported another dismal set of figures, tons of profits on ongoing shorts on this one. I wonder if anything has been brushed under the carpet? Stores are empty, no new ideas and even the head cheese who was hoping to retire has had to stay on. The shares aren't worth a penny more than 200. They'll crack at some point.
GB Group reported some fantastic figures this morning, what a brilliant buy and hold it has turned out to be. I am hoping for a bid for this one on a morning when I least expect it. Hoping for 220-250.
Renew has stabilised after some lovely moves up and look to have a brilliant future, what is not to like?
Long-termer Porvair continues as a hold despite having more than trebled.
Vectura is having a good couple of days and climbing very well today. A bright future there.

Accumuli has had a brilliant time, will soon be close to doubling - just a shame I sold half of them a while back but that's the way it goes.
There are good signs of some buying in boring Polypipe, maybe it won't be boring for much longer. Patience should pay!
KBC continues to head higher and now wish I hadn't taken part profits recently.


*** Two Newer Spreadfirms I Use

FOR SMALL COMPANIES:

It is hard to find a firm that does prices on the very small companies but this company does:

http://www.spreadex.com/nakedtrader

It does spreads on smaller ones other companies don't like Dillistone so worth having an account for that, been using it for a while and very happy so far. They also have an Ipad offer at the moment which is on that link

***
TIGHTEST SPREAD FOR TRADING THE FTSE/DOW ETC

If you're into trading indices this one is the cheapest with just a 0.8 spread which is fantastic - execution is top too

http://www.spreadco.com/nakedtrader/

If you start using them and find any problems please let me know.
I've been getting e-mails regarding my use of direct market access and who I use. I've tried a few and for me the easiest system for me is here:
http://www.ig.com/nakedtradercfds

Direct market access means you can place orders directly onto the order book bypassing brokers and market-makers with a chance to buy at the "sell" price. I would suggest you ensure you know what you're doing first but IG does provide much education with its "tradesense" educational tool which comes with it.
I also use its spreadbetting service too along with other firms like Tradefair because it now provides trailing stops which to me is a pretty sensible way of trading. Also with this link there is an excellent education programme and it offers the biggest range of smaller shares.

http://www.ig.com/nakedtrader
As usual before opening accounts please read all the warnings on the sites. You can lose a lot of money if you're not careful so pay close attention to them and make sure you always understand what you are doing and what your potential losses are.


Capital Spreads offer

Capital Spreads offers a really excellent book on spreadbetting for those who open accounts through the link below. Spreads are very tight and every trade has to have a stop loss which is excellent discipline to have especially for beginners. Execution is really good I find and they also allow shorts on shares it is hard to get shorts on like say Carpetright or facebook.
To get the offer, click here:
http://www.capitalspreads.com/ntrader

E-mail subscription service

If you want to get the contents of The Naked Trader website into your mailbox instead of waiting for the update to come through, plus exclusively news on the progress of my SIPP from the old Sunday Times column inc new higher risk Aim buys made for that, e-mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with SIPP in the subject line for details of how to get it.

Telecom Plus Offer

Want to quit the rat race? Try and start a new source of income so one day you can tell the boss to stuff it? You could do what I did to escape my grotty office job and become an independent distributor for the Utilities Discount Warehouse.
You get to sell great broadband, phone packages and energy to friends, relatives, contacts and anyone else you find and you get cash for each sale but more importantly you get a cut of their spend EVERY MONTH for as long as they are a customer!
It's called residual income and is a far better way to enjoy a ripe old age than relying on a pension. Because even after you stop selling the money STILL comes in!
I still get paid EVERY MONTH for sales I made back in 1999! Every time a customer uses broadband or the phone or switches on a light you get paid.
It's a great business and backed by a stock market company (Telecom Plus), a dedicated team of advisors.. and me to help you on your way!
Not only do you get paid out every month for each customer you can take on distributors. encourage them like I do and get paid on their sales as well.
One day, say you could made redundant, needed a year off or wanted to retire early can you imagine what joy it is to have the regular income coming in. It's wonderful.
You have to work at it, but if you do genuine repeat wealth could be yours. I did it. You can too. For full details, why not email me at robbiethetrader@aol.com.

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
on every other Wednesday afternoon.
