Lots of shares discussed, your comments and shares, fun, music and more!
Great to meet some fabulous people online at the seminar.
You really had your heads screwed on and it was interesting talking about the market meltdown and pinpointing some trades to be.
And thanks for the feedback, one of two of you I will see in real life at the hotel in late May, and will be a pleasure to buy you all a drink after.
If you missed this one the next online seminar for total beginners and also improvers is May 8th (10am-4.30pm)
Mail me if interested, it also entitles you to attend the more advanced hotel one on May 29th.
Enjoyed a lovely few days in Seville.
I won't go on about it much, after all reading about someone you don't know's holidays isn't exactly gripping.
Even when friends come up to you holding your phone with their holiday pictures you do groan inwardly.
Right, anyone still with me?
Seville simply is lovely for a short break. 4-5 days or a long weekend.
We did a couple of guided tours and enjoyed a ride on its tram system.
We stayed at a fantastic hotel in the heart of the city called Querencia de Sevilia.
It's just great, the hotel doesn't put a foot wrong but the restaurant was no great shakes just avoid that.
There's a stunning rooftop bar, swimming pool with amazing views of the city, superb rooms and great service, it deserves its very good reviews.
Foodwise it was tapas all the way.
I could hardly believe I could enjoy a tapas "Spinach and chickpeas" so much. It sounds boring but it was so tasty.
Bought a couple of post cards, then for fun through why not actually write on them and send them just like the old days?
It took a bit of doing to find where to get the right stamp and even to find a post box.
We did it! Of course the cards will probably arrive in a month, still it was fun. My father was an avid stamp collector.
Lots of building work as they prepare for holy week soon, there will be lots of parades and celebrations but might prove harder to move around.
Tons of narrow streets and you never know what's round the corner.
Reader Steve, we did get to your relative's coffee shop in Seville but it was closed.
So sorry we missed her, but maybe she closes on a Thursday!
The tram ride is fun, gliding through the busy streets and a tuk tuk tour was worth doing.
It's a fabulous place and if you are into architecture, and history you will find lots of rewards there.
It's a good time to go till May, after that it gets too hot in the summer.
If you ever thought about it, then go.
But be assertive in tapas bars or else the waiters will ignore you!
Congrats to Easyjet, two very easy flights, and on one of the legs, speedy boarding actually worked.
I'd suggest don't eat any of the food. There is a long list of horrid ingredients on most of it. Bring on your own!
We remain worried about our son out there in Dubai but he wants to stay.
He's built his life out there for now and doesn't think he could get an equivalent job in the uk.
We don't feel quite so alarmed when we are talking to him on the phone and he says he's had another alert to find shelter.
He says things seem to have calmed down a bit.
Indeed, he's enjoying it this week as it's been raining and he missed the rain.
The Dubai authorities had to put out a message saying don't worry about the noises, it is something called thunder!
Interestingly because many of the staff at the UK firm he works for have left, he's extremely busy.
For all those who want to sell their villas, flats etc there are some willing buyers happy to pick up what they think is a nice discount.
The feeling out there is it will all blow over at some point and normality will gradually resume,
We are rather hoping he will come back and visit us for a while, we will see.
I've promised him a prime seat at Fulham FC's ground, maybe that'll help bring him back.
We're hoping in May for a while but let's see.
In the meantime we really hope Iran stops attacking Dubai and so we can rest easy at night,
Thanks to the many emails we had from some of you regarding him being in Dubai.
Thanks for your kindness and support, it is much appreciated and many of you feel like extended family.
Thanks again for the nice comments on the radio show - I was going to do another live next week but decided not to because of the war situation, I don't think it would quite work.
But I hope to do another one soon - in the meantime if you missed the last live one it is on repeat here:

We should be doing another retreat in 2026.
Places are limited to only ten and you need to apply for one, we chat to you and make sure it's right for you.
Interested? Email me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "2026 retreats interested". We'll then put you on a list to contact next year and allocate places on a first come first served basis.
People keep asking me which broker to use for their new ISA.
I use mainly Interactive Investor and Barclays and IG.
Interactive Investor is my favourite, I also have my SIPP with them.
Easy to use, and stop losses work well, plus cheap charges.
II has sent me a referral link if you want to try it for an ISA or SIPP.
If you add in more than 10k, you get a free year's subscription with them worth quite a few quid and I get £200 into my account.
Seems like a no brainer here is the link:
If they ask my acc is burnsrobbieburns@aol.com.
I did a podcast with Zeus Capital and Nick Searle who is the most lovely chap.
He even posted a lovely handwritten thank you letter afterwards. Sheer class.
You can hear be blabbing on about how I came to be a trader and suchlike.
https://zeuscapital.co.uk/adp-podcast/ scroll down to find the one with me.
Took the credit card tracker with me to Sri Lanka. Used it twice to locate where the cards were!
Do get some credit card style tags they are wonderful and just over £20!
Link to the ones I bought:
Put one in your passport wallet and one in your credit card wallet or purse.
Thank me when inevitably something gets lost.
Lots of people trying side hustles at the moment.
Actually it was side hustles that helped me quit work for good in 2001.
My best was and still is Telecom Plus which trades as Utilities Discount Warehouse.
You can sell energy, sim cards, mobiles, broadband and insurance wfh.
You get commission per customer plus an ongoing commission every time they use
a service for as long as they remain a customer.
No stock needed, all done online. If you're good with people and don't mind a lot of
"no thanks" could work for you.
You're backed by a billion plus FTSE 250 company and it's rated well by Which Magazine for good deals and excellent customer service.
If you think this could be a good side hustle for you, mail me with "side hustle" at robbiethetrader@aol.com and will send you some info.
Thanks for the feedback from recent events.
Gary:
" The arrangements and agenda were first class, delivered with Elizabeth's charm and efficiency and Robbie's natural charisma. The drill down on all the stock trading ideas
really cemented the knowledge received from the beginners seminar and all
merited the further investigation Robbie and the group undertook.
Having a look at Level 2, DMA and Spreadbetting was very much appreciated.
The day flew by and finished far too soon. I'm convinced I am now a better stock picker and trader as a result of both days with Robbie."
Anne:
My husband and I had a lovely time. We learned so much, the hotel was great and the lunch fantastic. We didn't leave the bar till midnight!
Dave:
"I've been a teacher for the last 30 years and I'm not sure I could have kept a group of pupils so captivated for so long. Humour and in-depth subject knowledge go a long way!
I loved seeing your thought process in deciding which shares to trade and level 2 was also an eye opener."
Phil:
"The seminar was delivered with huge integrity (there was Zero hidden agenda/ulterior motives, it was simple and open with some great laughs thrown in)
As much as I found myself trying to complicate the process and make it more sophisticated in my own tiny brain.
You also took the time to answer "every" question anyone posed. And it was every question. Loads of shares ideas to boot, but more importantly the process to find your own. Brilliant!
Naked Rambling
I feel sad about this. How can we allow this to happen?
It seems unfair that someone needs a smartphone to park if they don't want to buy one.
Or even not being able to just tap a credit card or somesuch, or pay cash.
Do you remember the days you could just stick some coins in a machine and that was that?
Now you have to download, get codes. Sometimes you can't get through or get a signal, then there are instant fines and forget about appealing.
Councils seem to be against us, rather than there to help.
Here are a sad couple of comments sent to a newspaper:
"My father used to like pottering into his nearest town for a coffee and to pick up a paper. He doesn't have a smart phone so parking is no longer possible and so is his daily outing!"
"I am a pensioner who used to enjoy taking my old car to a car park near the high street and then I would browse the shops, I would usually buy a few things and I would always have a coffee and a piece of cake at a cafe.
That is all now in the past, I don't have much in savings and my pension is well below the average. I don't understand how to use the new computerised telephone parking systems, they are very unforgiving and complicated.
I am terrified of getting things wrong and then having the debt collectors turn up at my home and take away what little belongings that I still have.
I now stay at home and have my shopping delivered by a kind person for a small charge.
I have not been into town for almost two years.
This country has become a greedy and cruel place to live, such a pity."
The "healthy" drink company Huel has been bought by the giant Danone.
Danone which makes yogurts often stuffed with preservatives, sweeteners and other crap.
Well, congrats to the investors.
But.. I wonder if Huel is all that. I just checked some of the ingredients.
Looks to me like these drinks give vitamins you;d probably get in a decent normal diet but then adds in all kinds of horrors.
Here's what's in some of these drinks: Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Faba Bean Protein, Sweetener: Sucralose.
Hmmm. Sounds really healthy.
Keir Starmer seems to have totally given up on answering any questions at all on PMQs.
Indeed what is the point of the "speaker"?
I think we need someone like Lord Sir Sugar.
He can sit there and demand answers.
"Answer the question or we shall all be here for as long as it takes."
"No, don't just say how bad it was under the Tories answer the question or you will be fired."
I'm going to give up watching it and indeed all the current crop of politicians are simply ludicrous characters seemingly intent on screwing everything up.
Although probably the worst of the lot is that sanctimonious little creep Ed Davey.
It's a reminder of how decent some politicians pre say 2005 used to be.
I suspect at the next election if there was a vote for "none of the above" I bet we are looking at 90pc plus votes.
Don't know about you, but all of the current parties seem to be full of almost total and utter t*ats.
Why can't we have the sensible party.
The aim is to make things better for everyone without class battles.
DTF St Louis **** Sky Atlantic
Radio 5 used my review of this on Monday! DTF is a dating app (guess what it stands for).
A Fargo-esque whodunnit but mainly about male friendship.
Lots of sharp lines, some very funny. A kind of funny and sad show at the same time.
It stars Stranger Things' David Harbour who's brilliant along with Jason Bateman.
Ironically David Harbour split up with Lily Allen"¦ over a dating app. Glad I never had to use one.
Gone **** ITV
An ITV drama that isn't bad if you ignore there has to be 20 mini cliffhangers for each of the ad breaks where an actor has to say something dramatic and then pause theatrically.
Hats off to David Morrissey who really brings off his character of a cold emotionally clueless public School head. (I've met two of those!)
His wife is murdered and it's a whodunit. Obviously it'll be someone who was in the background a bit starting from episode 2.
It's nicely done, tightly written and gripping in parts so well done ITV he said patronisingly.
My guess is the murderer is a second line character who doesn't get many lines as per usual!
Saturday Night Live UK * Sky One
Oh dear. I was hoping this would be like Saturday live in the 80s with Ben Ellton which was funny.
Sadly this stinks. An amazing 20 writers are credited. A ton of cash has been chucked at it and it's all ended up flushed down the loo.
Sketches are all overlong and overwrought and nearly all misses. They go on and on and on. (And on).
There's a terrible impression of Starmer and even worse of Lammy. There is a nauseating end where all the actors come together to congratulate each other. There is no wit or satire.
The Capture **** BBC 1
This dystopian take is completely bonkers but it doesn't much matter as it's entertaining.
A pretty ludicrous plot regarding deep fakes and AI.
If you don't mind suspending disbelief then it's a lot of fun.
If you can't quite manage to turn off critical plot holes then maybe not for you. I think it's quite fun.
The French have been told to stop eating so many croissants and baguettes to stop the chances of getting cancer.
Does anyone feel a shrug of the Gallic shoulders coming?
I nearly always get one of those (shoulder shrugs) from the owner of my local French cafe.
Don't upset him with a bad review though.
The last reviewer of his place was told she was going on his "wall of jerks".
Another was told she should "talk less and listen more".
He can be as rude as he wants to me as he does great croissants and baguettes.
Anyway who cares.
I've been on his wall of jerks for some time.
New Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson's very funny take on farming is just out and is already in the top 20 books.

Lovely entertaining writing while also giving the lowdown on all the hardships faced by farmers.
The book is very good value around half off the recommended price at just £11 here:

Just mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com if you'd like any of these with "advfn offers" in the subject line.

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.
****
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.

Markets
As the old song goes, "War. What is it good for, absolutely nothing".
I think we should remember most of us investors are probably, hopefully temporarily losing a few quid on paper in our portfolios.
Whereas so many people's lives are actually being ruined by the horrors of war.
So let's keep things in perspective.
It's been a tough time for investors - it's impossible to remain unscathed on paper at least.
In a mass panic it doesn't matter how fab your share is or even how cheap it is, it's going down.
My isas are down a fair amount on my longer-termers though tempered a bit by some nice shorting profits mainly on spreadbets.
It isn't as bad as the 2008 crisis I lived through.
I remember then it was impossible to sell anything and brokers refused to take calls, at least these days you can generally get out if you want to.
Two spreadbetting firms went bust on me and it took 4 months to get my money back through the government scheme.
The crazy rises and falls depending on what Trump says one day or what he says the next is madness.
Or indeed the next hour.. Or minute.
Earlier this week the market was slumping and in seconds it soared after he said something.
Then it went down again then up again.
Up massively yesterday, down again today and who knows next week.
Really the market is up and down as much as any football team managed by Scott Parker.
And we still don't know how it might end, or not, which makes investing a touch nerve wracking, probably for a while longer.
It really is ridiculous that the leader of the US can say what he likes whenever.
One thing I always remember from doing seminars is always buy when everyone is miserable and trying to sell all their shares.
The last three hotel ones I always managed to pick the worst date possible as shares slumped leaving me facing a pissed off audience!
My line "Cheer up, it's only money" didn't seem to help things.
Though "We'll take a break, Yorkshire Tea, bacon and egg rolls and pastries are available outside.." seemed to bring back a smile.
But every time, if you bought instead of sold in these times of crisis, a few weeks later you'd be in the money and at all these events I bought stuff and made a packet eventually.
As I mentioned last time, my strategy at the war's beginning was slapping on some big shorts immediately in the isa and a spreadbet.
If you want to know how to short in an isa please see the chapter in the latest book:
Link: https://amzn.to/4lPtwaa
I also topsliced a load of shares banking some profits and keeping some cash on the side.
The shorts give me courage to hold onto most of my shares which is what I've done.
However, I mainly simply topsliced and kept the majority of the portfolio.
So though on paper I am down for now and the shorts help enormously, overall it's been less of a problem than I thought it would be. For now.
I have learned over the years things sort themselves out and some of the longer-term ones I am sure will go up again. Indeed some are already on the move back.
And a lot of them pay 4-6% dividends while I'm waiting.
This, though, is an excellent time to have a shortlist of shares ready to buy and that was what I have been doing waiting to buy some hopeful bargains with the massive cash I raised.
I've looked for shares with lowish pes, and good net cash or lowish debt.
The Stockopedia quality algo is very useful and best not to buy anything with a score under 60 ish.
Stockopedia is a great resource if you don't have it there is a free trial and discount:
https://www.stockopedia.com/nakedtrader/
The algoes help to avoid buying total stinkers taking the emotion out of it.
I've also found some good bounce back shares with good cash piles using my Dash For Cash screen on Sharescope.
We found quite a few shares using that screen at the online seminar, and I think at the end of the seminar we ended up with lots of great trades to be.
It's good to already have a list of things you would like to buy or buy back so that if the market turns out fast you know what your plan is and what you may buy.
You may be surprised I have actually bought some shares!
I have bought some which I hope are bargains subject to possible get out quicks should they continue to fall or the war worsens. I will try and stick with them if I can though.
Often as I mentioned, if you are brave this is a good time to buy.
I got some Me Group after it was relisted.
Results were in line and the shares now look way too low.
Its laundry business is booming and more installations are going in.
Sitting on a pe of just 9, with a dividend of over 6pc looks a great buy for a long-term isa tuckaway and be surprised if there wasn't at least 20pc rise plus divi sooner than later.
I also picked up some MHA after it was sold off with everything else.
MHA came up on my dash for cash screen as did one or two others at the seminar.
There is good growth here and some nice cash and this recent issue looks underrated.
Profits are rising nicely and it's using its net cash to acquire others.
My idea is for a 3-6 month trade from here for a return to its highs and a 25% rise.
As I mentioned last time, spreadbet firms are always massive beneficiaries of volatility and I bought some more CMCX and also some IG Group.
Both of these came up at nearly all the Sharescope/Stockpedia screens we looked at during the seminar.
I suspect both have been coining it in over the last few weeks and hence results for both should be rather good.
And both are actually on very low pes with big cash piles so in any event they look cheap.
I'm already in a nice profit with CMC and both deserve a better rating than they currently have.
In looking around for bargains I was surprised to see one I sold a while back, Synetics to be down to a very lowly valuation.
The Stockopedia algoes point this out with scores of 96 for both quality and value.
Indeed nearly half of the market cap of Synetics is net cash and it looks like it's just the wrong price.
Directors have been buying in, it looks like another that could easily head back up by 20% and in the meantime there is a nice dividend.
I've made several very profitable trades in Knights group - it has an incredible trading range of 150/60ish to near 200ish.
I have traded the Knights range three times. And now I'm looking to do it for a fourth.
Its pe is only at 5 probably because net debt stands at £75m but it has been on the acquisition trail and profits are forecast to get up to near £40m.
If that's anywhere near right, then shares should be at least 200p.
So here's to the trading range to repeat itself again! There is also a 4pc dividend while waiting.
On the sell side, the last two trades I activated the get out quicks, Craneware and Data for losses of £89 and £33.
I expect to give both another go soon.
Further total sellouts:
Marks went for a profit of £1,044. IGR a loss of £343. Supr for a profit
of £601 (some nice dividends received there). Peel for loss of £150.
It's too hard for me to list the topslices here (workwise it's too much) but I kept hold of most of everything.
Rather surprisingly several of my shares have gone up after some very good statements.
Personal Group rose strongly after an ahead of statement, sitting on very nice profits on those.
I was tempted to take the profits but given the strong report I think there could be another 50p more here. It goes ex dividend next Thursday.
Also Lucedo reported very strong growth indeed, I was quite surprised.
Like Personal it was tempting to bag big profits here but again I've decided for now to stick as they could go to 200p.
Yu Group reported strong figures and has launched a plan to double market share and over 3 years.
This has been a terrific long term hold, I've quadrupled on them and on top of that there is a massive dividend. If its plan works, there is massive further upside for YU.
Volex also reported very strong figures and soared on that, though only have a smaller holding after taking profits too early.
And under the radar Science (shares hardly ever move) more than doubled its profits, patience I think will pay off here.
Contract wins reported today for both Cohort and Filtronic.
I had a few mails about a punter favourite, Goodwin which got smashed by half on Monday after a nasty warning.
It kept coming up on momentum screens at seminars but I said no straightaway every time, a pe of over 40 always looked well overcooked.
Never ever buy anything with a pe of over 20 unless you can see massive growth forecast for two years ahead. Even a slight negative and these shares tumble faster than Labour's poll ratings.
Some of you blamed internet tipsters and Lord Lee for getting you involved but I have handed out bollockings about that.
It isn't their fault, commentators tend to confirmation bias being too over enthusiastic about their shares - but stop being influenced you must research properly.
You should have asked yourselves why you were buying a share with such a crazily high rating. Trust what the unemotional agoes are telling you. This share should never have been bought at such a silly rating.
That includes me - just because I buy something you shouldn't just follow blindly.
We met people on the retreats who lost eye watering amounts following internet gurus, I am talking more than six figures in some cases. They agreed it was their own fault. They were too embarrassed to admit it, sometimes to their own partners. Two people between them had lost a staggering £250,000 between them on Boo Hoo shares.
Much better to do your own share screens, make a plan and stop following pundits, videos and the like. Us humans are a pack animal wanting to be led. Better not to be with investing!
Onto shorts, obviously all shorts are doing very well, so when the market looks like it has bottomed I will take my profits
The Raspberry Pi short in particular is showing great gains, as is Diageo and the airlines.
For the time being I am holding onto the shorts in the FTSE 100, using a stop of over 250 points so I don't get whipsawed out of gains too early.
My one big suggestion to all of you short (or long) of indices and maybe some shares is to use TN's brilliant guaranteed stops,
I wouldn't normally use a GS with Indices as they trade 24 hours.
But with Easter coming up there could be 3 days when they aren't traded, longer than usual.
Say you were heavily short and the war ended over Easter weekend your short could be blown out of the water.
Remember to click the "guaranteed stop" element when putting on your stop on the TN site, then whatever happens you are guaranteed a certain profit or loss.
There is a small premium if the GS gets hit but it is small beer.
Link to the TN site here:
https://tradenation.com/en-gb/naked-trader/
If you haven't shorted indices before I beg you to read how to do it properly via my SB book:
Link: https://amzn.to/4lQyd3L
Make sure you understand what you are doing, please!
I do believe going short, or understanding how to do it is an essential part of any trader/investor's arsenal.
If you want a look at my Dash For Cash screen that is picking out some of the best companies to look at then make a sub to Sharescope (it is on the home page).
Pay for a month, they refund you no quibble if you decide it is not for you.
Link here, big discount and no quibble refund:
https://www.sharescope.co.uk/nakedtrader
Best wishes to all of you with the ongoing tricky market and let us all hope hostilities cease soon. The killing is shocking.
If you are in any doubt possibly the best course is to do nowt.
And if like me you are doing a little buying, have a plan to get out quick should the war escalate further.
Better to pull out quick for small losses rather than let them build.
Then you can in the future buy back at a lower price.
There are one or two more trades but I have to save those for my subscribers, after all they have to get something extra don't they.
If you'd like to subscribe let me know. Well, it isn't strictly a subscription, you only pay once and you get till I stop doing it, likely when I kick the bucket!
I can't be bothered with monthly or yearly payments so once in, you're in and that's it.
You get all the website material and trades delivered to your inbox earlier than the site is updated every other Thursday, extra trades, any US trades and high risk ideas I use for my sipp.

Mentoring
Nice comment from Craig who attended the last online seminar:
"Thank you for a great day on Friday. As a beginner, and half way through reading your Naked Trader book, I was a little apprehensive I would be overwhelmed with the day.
But quite the opposite, great pace and pitched at the right level for everyone online. Seeing Robbie select shares to investigate and even place some buys and top up existing shares has given me the confidence to do it myself.
I would highly recommend to any beginner and I will hopefully join again sometime in the future to top up my knowledge."

Ian writes to say how much he enjoyed reading Little book of Bull Moves.
He says he realises some of what the book warns about is happening in the USA right now! I remember reading it a while back and thinking it was good.

People keep asking me which broker to use!
I use mainly Interactive Investor and Barclays and IG.
Interactive Investor is my favourite, I also have my SIPP with them.
Easy to use, and stop losses work well, plus cheap charges.
II has sent me a referral link if you want to try it for an ISA or SIPP.
If you add in more than 10k, you get a free year's subscription with them worth quite a few quid and I get £200 into my account.
Seems like a no brainer here is the link:
Sub Email With High Risk And Us Trades
I've added coverage of one or two US shares to my sub email. You also get higher risk trades not on this site, and the site material sent before it is updated here every other Thursday.
For details mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "email" in the subject line and I will send you details on how to subscribe.

I've now finished reading The Trading Game.
Boy, what a gripper!
Definitely makes me glad I never ended up on a trading floor.
The cast of real-life characters there is not a pretty one!
Full time traders seem to be either alcoholics, drug abusers, loners, weirdos, passive-aggressive alpha males, know it alls or just a bit barmy.
And they are all certain of their own brilliance...
Frankly just check any of the discussion forums, all these characters are there..
Anyway, super read and a must buy for anyone interested in trading!

I've enjoyed reading "The Psychology of Money".
It's a best seller deservedly with 19 stories exploring how people think about money.
if you want to better with how you invest, trade or spend money it's a very worthwhile read!
Amazon link here:
Spreadbetting
Just a 0.6 spread for the FTSE which is fantastic and the best I've found.
Spreads on FTSE 100 and 250 stocks are really tight, I shop around SB sites when I am about to trade for the best spread and this one keeps coming out the best.
Here's the link if you want to sign up, on this link the lovely Lorenzo will help out if you run into trouble or make a fat finger trade.

I've finished the book on AI - "The Coming Wave".
It's a must read for any investor - I've learned a lot, the writer co-founded Deepmind, one of the world's leading AI cos.
It's fascinating, some of the conclusions are scary and it's good to try and understand it, though in the end he concludes AI will being a lot of benefits. It will also drive some shares down and some up.
Buy and read! Amazon link: https://amzn.to/46v2hcg
One or two of you asked about how we got our car back after it was stolen, we used apple airtags, hide them in your car or under your bike seat and get your car or bike back, amazing.
Amazon have them, link here: https://amzn.to/460qjeY
The steering lock we were recommended and bought you can get from amazon, link here: https://amzn.to/3Z4VALw
I love companies with decent cash piles and I've developed a screen for shares with cash with Sharepad to go with my new book.
The screen goes with one of my strategies from the new book "Dash for Cash".
The idea is it picks up sensible shares with a cash pile for further examination.
I don't mean it to be "just buy any share on the screen." My idea is it's a start for further research as just because a company has a cash pile doesn't necessarily mean it's a great company.
If you don't have Sharepad you can try a free trial using the link below, if you think it is useful after the trial you get a decent discount on the link and can pay monthly if you want.

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.
