NAKED TRADER PODCAST 3 !

---

Thanks for all the kind words on the new book Naked Trader 5 and glad you're enjoying it.
This discount code will work for 30pc off on the harriman house site
and that is NT5ROBBIE. Or Amazon has it!

It contains another five years
of learning - I've now been a full-time trader for nearly 20 years!

The audio version is out now! Go to and search
for naked trader. Scroll down and make sure you download
edition 5, the one with me with a blue shirt on!

Incredibly half term is nearly upon us. I've already had enough of
the weather and booked some time in Spain for half-term and
to celebrate my birthday.

A very nice half term in Majorca like you orta.

Our son brought a friend which was rather good news so they
could amuse themselves. Bike hire at the resort meant they could
get around as they wanted and splash about and play
tennis and football.

We wandered around the island in the hire car and went into
Palma a couple of times.

Very easy place to park. Head right for the Cathedral car park
100s of spaces and you are right in the centre.

Lots of very decent shopping, and plenty of atmospheric buildings
. Loads of nice businesses including some bakeries going back
through the decades.

With the kids amusing themselves we had a great time by the pool, in the spa
and out and about. That's got to be enough about reading about someone else's holiday.

Nothing worse than someone approaching you with their phone wanting to show you pictures
of their holidays is there?

I usually try and slowly back away but that never really works. "Here's me with a wild
Tibetan elephant by the banks of the River Zambezi ..."

Ok then.. well here's one of me..er ,.. by the pool in Spain.... nah !

Any of you ever fancied being taken up the Shard?

Me too!

About time I paid a visit to the Shard. A very well worthwhile experience though not cheap - £37 for a adult and £25 for juniors.

We went at night so easy to go straight through with no queues - very
well managed operation, two lifts get you to the top in no time.

And well, wow. What a view. You can stay for as long as you like,
there are about 4 different floors to view from. They also have
a bar and snacks.

Sensational views from all around, totally mesmerising and you can
see for miles.

Of course they want to coin it in and ask whether you want to pay
for a picture, or two or... top whack for £23 is 8 pix set in a really
nice photo book with pages of facts and info.

I think this was a worthwhile souvenir so added that.

Managed to have the worst football "awayday" ever - at Stoke.

One of those days when everything goes wrong! Managed to miss
the train as the tube shut various stations due to "Overcrowding" (??).

Got to Stoke station on a late train (ps £100 more) came through the barrier
to find ourselves in a car park with no way of getting back into the
station to get to the front if it and the taxi rank.

Not just us, other bemused visitors were stuck there. Only way out was
to walk out of the car park and down a long road. Others followed
behind mistakenly thinking we knew where we were going.

A Stoke supporting couple from Norway (All the way from Norway for a
crap championship game they are crazy!) followed us, eventually
got a taxi which we shared.

Arriving 15 mins late the worst and most dour stewards decided my tiny
google laptop had to be put into security. Despite the fact mobile phones
do exactly the same thing. Weird! Another 10 mins gone.

Into the stadium surrounded by loads of frankly smelly fans (and not
just the teenagers). Either youngsters with a drink/drug problem or
oldsters with prostate trouble.

And a dismal game.. so during it I plugged myself into some
music and noise cancelling headphones. Much better!

The game itself was just dire, how do these guys get paid millions?
They really got lucky!

Bus to the station. My son bagged a seat and I got one in front of him
then a drunk "fan" sat next to me and I got half an hour of "You're my best
mate" drunk stuff about how he took his shirt off at a game and also
jumped in a river. "Hmm, amazing," I muttered, Not too sarcastically
in case he turned nasty.
He says his wife says at 40 he should really be
more responsible and stop acting like a dick. (That is never
going to happen).
As bad luck would have it the journey back saw me right in the middle
of a bunch of savages.. er I mean pissed up youngsters. Pure hell.
I counted every minute back.

I agreed to Birmingham this Saturday a while back. Lucky me.

After that, my son can forget any awayday trips for some time!

If you missed the September seminar there is a new date for beginners/improver and
that is December 2nd. Mail me if you want to come at robbiethetrader
with "Dec interested" There is a massive early bird discount at the mo.

Thanks for the continued nice feedback on that one - like this from Rob:
I was worried I had allowed my expectations top run too high but turns
out they were too low!"
Once again thanks to all of you who came to this year's seminars so far. Thanks for all the lovely comments - quite a few about the high standard of the food and snacks so well done the hotel. My faves were the mini breakfasts and the smartie cookies.

Some of you already using my supply and demand tricks to some effect and so glad to hear from one or two who dumped their crap afterwards, the hardest thing to do.

Of course it's nice to get comments just after but even better after a while. For example this from Chris:

The seminar well exceeded my expectations. I learnt a ton about trading, keeping it simple and it has given me the confidence to cut some positions. I reinvested the proceeds in a spread account and new isa and the results from using your process are exemplary!

Naked Rambling

An election then!

Fab! We're already had to put up with Brexit bollox for
years and now weeks of endless tedium with various
extremely annoying politicians talking endless crap
and sniping at each other.

When will this ever end!

It is one of the weirdest ever elections and pretty hard to
call.

The bookies reckon it's a toss up between a small Tory majority and a hung
parliament. They don't think Labour can get a majority on its own.

But they weren't right with the Brexit vote so who knows?

Personally I discounted the Brexit party first. A no deal would be
a catastrophe and it doesn't have any other policies.

Next, obviously I scratched off voting for Corbyn as a hard left government
would also be an economic disaster.

As a remainer (I am a cold figures person and there just isn't any economic
benefit at all) I guess I had to consider the Lib Dems.

But they have no chance of winning. In any case I don't agree with the tax
policies that I read. I also am happy to be pragmatic and go with a deal
Brexit so my vote goes to the Tories.

Not that I am especially enamoured with them - but personally as an investor
and maybe I am being selfish, I don't know, it's probably best for my shares!

I think a revokation or another referendum will just drag everything on for months
and lead to more economic uncertainty.

And haven't we all had enough? Do the deal however crap it is, at
least we then have crap certainty and businesses can get planning.

I don't really get the firing of the MacDonalds guy because of a relationship
with a work colleague.

I've had relationships with work colleagues, one or two really nice ones and frankly
if the company fired me I would have said "sod you" and would hope
the lady in question would come with me!

Better to get to know someone over time at work then five minutes on a
dating app thing?

Surely there must be a lot of love around the burgers.

A better punishment for the former boss of Macs would surely be to force
him to eat three big macs a day for a month.

Frayed (****) Sky one comedy.

As I said last time I'd always pompously ignored Sky One shows assuming
they were rubbish and only watched Sky Atlantic ones.

But, Temple was decent and Frayed, a comedy about a rich woman suddenly poor
and having to go back and live with her mum in Australia is actually not bad!

Celebrity Hunted (****) Highly enjoyable nonsense. The highlight was watching
Boris Johnson and "Toff".

Former "spy" Johnson happily used his credit card and left tons of clues.

If it like father like son we should be worried. Johnson's idea was really
to wing it and hope for the best.

Watchmen (not a clue)
This one has stumped me. It is either genius or mad or both and I can't decide
if it is just too mad. I'm going to try one more.

Motherland (****) Highly entertaining satire on parents and how
they get through the difficult child rearing years. With the talented
Sharon Horgan involved, the writing is high quality. There are brilliant
observations on being a freelance (track suit bottoms and a lot of
time in bed). Plus drinking among the middle-class to get through it and
aspirations of a business type. Well observed and the only really funny
BBC comedy since the wonderful "Pulling".

The Affair (**) - this last episode was a disappointing happy ever after
type with the writers and actors all in "let's get outta here" mode. Shame
as the series as a whole over the years has been very entertaining. I guess
one series too far, the standout the look at 30 years in the future.

Labour wants a four day week. Let's just go for it and have a no day
week. We'll all slob about, smoke dope and watch daytime TV.
Someone will pay for it.... won't they?

A swingers party in Germany was interrupted by a false fire alarm and all
were sent out onto the streets in various forms of undress.

Talk about a premature evacuation...

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.

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.

NEW SEMINAR DATE:Dec 2 (Sept sold out)

mail me at robbiethetrader
with "Dec seminar interested" for details. Big discount on offer.

Follow up: For those who have been to the starter seminar Dec 9th
mail me with "follow up interested"

The LSE is considering a reduction in market hours to 9am-4pm!

Please! Do it now!!! The opening time of 8am has always been mad.

How are people expected to trade and get to work and get their kids to
school?

Trading between 8 and 9 is always terrible anyway. There is poor liquidity,
spreads are mad and it is often a waste of time.

Open the auctions at 8.30am to allow a build up of liquidity then open the
market at 9am. Stop talking, get it done.

FYI nothing much happens in the markets either between 11am and 2.30pm
when the US opens.

Just open 9-11 and 2.30-4pm. That's plenty. The rest of the time it is
just robots and day traders messing about to get a point or two banked.

While we're at it, time that company statements and results were released at 5pm after
the market shuts not at 7am.

This would give us all the chance to read reports properly. An hour before the market
opens is silly. Especially so early in the morning. They do this in America. Let's change
this for here too. Are you with me on all this? Yes, hurrah!

The upcoming election presents a big problem for investors. Stick, twist,
sell?

Risk has definitely increased. There is a slim chance of a Lab majority but..
the risk is there. With that attention seeking pratface Farage mucking about
there could easily be a split vote causing a hard left government no-one wants
(except the hard left obvs).

If that happened expect a massive hit to all portfolios as
most shares would fall, especially UK companies.

It might also be hard to sell anything smallish at all.

A hung parliament would also cause a shares slide as would a left leaning
Labour/snp/lib pact. Any hung parliament means yet more uncertainty.

A Tory win though would probably see a decent share bounce.

The question on whether you should sell some stuff, or get out totally or even
get buying rests on what you think might be the result.

I'm just not sure yet and the markets don't seem alarmed so far.

I always try and go the middle line so I think I will look to sell some of anything
I'm not sure about and keep a decent cash pile safe! I would expect to
be half in cash before the election. That seems sensible as I've had a good
run and made a lot of profit this year.

I don't mind giving some back, that's the way things happen but not
all of it!

Also it is probably wise not to be leveraged up right now, and avoid jam
tomorrow companies anything making a loss or anything with a massive
debt not backed by assets.

Given the looming election I am being very careful regarding buying
anything, however there is some value out there.

There are also some companies that might not be affected that much
by a hard left win.

But, for the moment, buying caution is the watchword.

However, one or two have caught my eye!

I bought into a couple more shares that came up at the follow up seminar.

SDI looks a very decent share and another that came up at the
seminar. It is currently breaking out of its range and the breakout looks
like a powerful one.

It designs and make scientific and tech products used in digital imaging
and sensing and control applications.

Profits are going nicely and it has a very small debt. Its markets look
to be promising and its recent AGM statement was encouraging.

It has been gradually raising money sensibly to acquire other companies and
it looks set to continue.

It looks like a rather nice Isa tuckaway with a potential 100p in time
with some patience. Not a virtue most traders have!

And another discussed at the seminar was GAN which develops and
supplies gambling software and online gaming content in the states.

Demand for this software is growing over there as gambling begins to
get more backing from various states.

A recent announcement says trading is ahead of expectations with
demand from New Jersey and Pennsylvania where fans want to
bet on US football. While it made a loss last year it should be
going into a decent profit next time. The markets always look ahead.

Looks a nice tuckaway and another not affected if Labour wins.
It has been spurting up the last couple of days and so far shows
little sign of stopping. Target 200?

I have literally just bought some small Helios Towers (HTWS) Valued at just over a billion
pounds this is an African mobile phone masts operator.

It went below the issue price this afternoon and it has been drifting down over the last
few days so it is a speculative buy around this price on my part.

But there seems to be room for growth in the share price from here.

It is going to be spreading mobile masts across sub-Saharan Africa.

What's interesting for me is it is an under the radar type share. But next it should go into the FTSE 250 and begin to attract in
more funds.

So I would expect the share price to start to rise in December and it
should be unaffected should Labour win!

I got mine just now at the then sell price using DMA. To learn
how to get some shares at the sell price and so start with no spread,
come to a seminar and I will show you live.

This is a risky trade as I could be "catching the falling knife" and I would get worried if shares started to drift a lot below the issue price
and that would be a cue to exit. When buying a drifting share it
is always sensible to decide to get out if it carries on going down.

Trades in 888 were looking rosy until news broke of potential limits
to online gambling stakes. The shares had gone way over target and I
was thinking of taking profits anyhow so my hand was forced and I banked
a nice profit of £2,089.

The short in Intu paid off with a weak statement this week (thanks seminar!!)
and I've closed out for a profit of £1,950. The spreadbet in Hik was stopped
out for a small profit of £80 - it rose well today after the statement but it pulled back and so the raised stop got hit. It could easily head back up as it is very volatile.

I've finally closed out all of bid company ETO - profits for the website ended up
at over £100,000. Together with the Safecharge bid, once again, patience pays!

A couple of portfolio shares to highlight that have surged recently.

XP Power has got a real wind to its sales and looks like it could hit the 3000 mark
and Avon Rubber keeps bouncing up and that looks headed to 2000.

I expect to bank a little ITV profit before the trading statement late next week as the shares almost always go down after one! Then back up again as a bidder is most likely to strike on price weakness. I'd
be looking to buy back on weakness and maintain a core holding.

EXTRA INCOME FROM HOME

When I left my full-time job to trade it really helped having another income: this I got from part-time selling energy and phone services to people and getting a cut of their use of their home services forever! I still get enough from it now to pay all my bills. I am a great believer in multiple incomes and this is a great one in my opinion as anyone could do it.

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.
