MY NEW PSYCHOLOGY BOOK "TRADE LIKE A SHARK" IS JUST OUT!!! DISCOUNT OFFER:

My brand new book on trading psychology is just out! Available now for next day delivery.

Though it says it isn't out till Sept 26th that's because we don't want amazon to have it for a bit! If you order it here, you get it next day!

It's called "Trade Like A Shark". I did want to call it "Trade Like A Vulcan" but we thought we might have trouble with the Star Trek people after a cut of proceeds at warp speed"¦.

I read books on psychology in the past and liked bits of them but felt there was something missing. They either got too technical or went on too much making me bored and I realised no-one had talked to those who had lost a lot of money.

I very much enjoyed writing it "" indeed bizarrely I learned a lot about trading psychology from writing it and via all the traders/investors I've talked to, had emails chats with over the years. Thanks to all of you who contributed real stories.

The book covers things that can go wrong, how to fix them. How to stop bad habits, gambling, trading with a clear head. How not to panic, managing trades, trading in a down market.

Also how to tackle the 8 deadly emotions, figuring out what sort of trader you are... tackling fear, greed, ego, danger zones and traps.

Everything really comes from hundreds of traders I've met or had conversations with - whether a beginner or advanced I hope all the info there will be useful and especially in the current post-brexit crazy market. Learn how to trade like a shark, not a fish!!!

After a lovely week in Spain great to come back to some real summer weather here.. The one thing missing in Spain that we have here over the summer is just so important.
Something I would struggle to live without.
The ice-cream van coming round.
Oh, that tinkly sound from its loudspeaker as it comes closer to home. So evocative! And there it is the only place you can buy the best ice-cream: Mr Whippy.
There is just nothing like it.Forget Ben and Jerry and all that. Mr Whippy is number one with me. What more do you want than an unexpected 99? (stop it!) .
Indeed after a delightfully unexpected 99 I've hired a Mr Whippy ice cream machine for the July seminar!
Getting the cones too and of course the mini flakes. It means me - and you if you're coming - can have as many Mr Whippys as you like all day long.
If you are coming to the seminar please keep an eye on me and make sure I don't scoff too many. Being the host, I can't really afford to be sick can I?
Thanks so much for all the kind messages re my tummy troubles. There are a lot of lovely people out there.
So another camera goes down me on Aug 2nd. Looks like those who had the polyp I have in some cases turned malignant and developed into cancer.
So it is worth keeping an eye on. In the meantime currently
on some strong antibiotics to try and kill a separate thing which could contribute.

A friend of mine died of cancer a couple of years ago. He'd been saying how tired and sick he was a few times and wasn't feeling well.
He just didn't get to the doctor in enough time. Men tend to just not go to the Dr unless they're about to expire. So if you feel something somewhere isn't right, just go.
We had a lovely half-term break in Spain. Plenty of boys for Christopher to play football with.

We also had good meals, pool aerobics, table tennis and amazing walks up the beach. Lovely sunshine, met some nice people.

What is going on with the awful rail services though? We took trains to Gatwick there and back.

Well, at least there. Lots of cancellations for no apparent reason "sick staff"? So chock a bloc trains, standing room only. Well, ok we survived.

But the way back? We never made it. Got to Gatwick rail station at 5pm "in time" for the 4.55 delayed by 20 minutes. Announcements of delays and cancellations due to "staff shortages" and "signal problems".

Gatwick Expresses all cancelled. Platform dangerously full. Train limps in, already full. People tried to cram on. No chance for us. Lots of angry passengers left on the platform.

Next train? Cancelled. Staff seemed to be on their mobiles, annoyed when passengers tried to get info from them.

"When's the next train?". Staff didn't know. "Maybe the six o'clock, but that could be cancelled too..."

It all looked hopeless. An hour wait for a train that might not come and if it did, might not get on, and if you get on crammed up against someone's armpit for half an hour. Really appealing.

Only one decision to be made: Get a cab. Back out. We'd used contactless cards on the way in. Get a refund?
No chance. "Nothing to do with us," shrug the not helpful staff. Call someone or something was the recommendation.

Off out of the station for a cab. £100 quoted for 20 mile journey. Had to take it, wanted to get home!

Lucky we could afford it but I have no idea how long it would take those that couldn't to get home from Gatwick.

Goodness knows what people visiting from abroad make of the chaos. I can understand the delays and cancellations but staff were so disinterested in helping anyone. No information either as to when a next train might arrive if at all. No ideas on other ways to get into London. Absolutely awful and puts us right off from using the trains again.

Seminar news: Next Monday July 11th
Mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "July seminar interested" in the subject line.

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! If you've been to a seminar before there is a follow up with live trading on May 23rd, mail me if interested in that.

Here's some feedback from 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.'

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.

Booking is open for the Naked Trader seminar on July 11th

Price is £650 plus vat. However there is a substantial early bird discount on offer Mail me for details.
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.

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!
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

The Euro vote is nearly here!! Yes !!! Won't it be great when it's all over.
Sick of the whole thing and keep the news turned firmly off till it's all over. Sick of politicians pretending to know what might or might not happen. Most of them are just positioning themselves.
Does anyone really believe Boris wants out really? He's just making a play to be the next PM. There have been no real facts produced by anyone of either side and everyone's fed up with the fear soundbites.
I'm voting in on the selfish basis my shares will go down!
So a settlement in the Jose Moriniho case. Hmm, one wonders what she was about to reveal about him. Must have been something pretty big for him to get there on time and pay her a fortune to stop. I've made a guess or two but obviously I can't share them!
However you have to laugh, football manager, what a great job. It is the only job anywhere where you can perform badly. You get sacked but get millions in compensation - then move onto the next club which will also pay you millions even though you just failed at the last job. (The same job).
I must see if I can get my son into football management. My advice, son, keep getting fired!
If you like trading shares you've got to watch Billions on Sky Atlantic.
It is soapy but a lot of fun. The series is based on a battle between the head of a massive fund who does a lot of insider dealing and the head of the financial authorities trying to bring him down.
The battle between them involves intrigue, sex, power trips and other people are used as pawns. There's also a lot of great humour and witty one lines. Go watch!! You can still catch up from the beginning.
The Americans new series is on a channel no-one watches "ITV Encore". Goodness knows why they are hiding this excellent series away. If you never saw it download it somewhere and watch from the beginning.
Is the non celebrity Big Brother still going? Why? This show should have ended five years ago. I guess CH 5 gets enough people watching to make it worthwhile.
Top Gear. Who cares? I don't have any interest in cars and no interest in Chris Evans. I like clever wit - not some overhyped bloke shouting at me. He's such a one trick pony.
He has no wit or conversation compensating by shouting "Brilliant! Amazing.. etc..." I just have no idea what his appeal is. He's so needy.
Game of Thrones continues to delight and intrigue - I am sure we are all behind the mother of dragons to take down Cercei. And let's hope the High Sparrow gets it in the neck sometime soon... A surprise appearance from the man who can't be killed, it's all building up nicely. I'd love a ride on that dragon....

Good luck to England in the Euros - I've had a fun bet on them at 9/1, not expecting to collect! However a more serious bet is on France which looks very strong and has a home advantage. I've had my bets with spreadex. Link below.

Good place for spreadbets and fixed odds for sport (and the EU vote) is here...

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!
Gary writes :
"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

First great deal: If you want level 2, through me it is only £420 for your first year including VAT!
This compares to £ 567.60 direct from advfn so this deal saves you £147.60! ADVFN level 2 also includes all the live trades made through Plus Markets which I find invaluable.
To accept this great deal just e-mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with "Level 2 offer" in the subject line and I will tell you how to get it.

Level 2 gives you access to all the market maker positions and the order book and I would not trade without it! More on level 2 in my book and I spend hours on it at my seminars.


ADVFN Bronze Offer

Deal two is ADVFN's bronze subscription - normally £88.70 pa - available from me for only £60! (inc vat) That's a saving of nearly £30! You access to the premium bulletin board which contains my discussion forum with direct access to chat to me and some very good traders. Plus you get ADVFN's premium top lists which I think are a must for finding great stock picks. That includes great lists like ex dividend dates, market maker buys plus chart breakouts and downs. All as explained in the book.
To take up the offer, e-mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com with Bronze in the subject line and I will tell you how to claim the deal.

The deal is via me you can save nearly £35 for your first year by paying just £174 inc vat via me instead of £208.43
Just mail me at robbiethetrader@aol.com if you'd like this deal with "silver" 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. 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.
****


Markets

New offer: £50 or £100 off Stockopaedia and free trial

I rarely do offers - Forex companies in particular offer me eyewatering sums. I turn all this down as I would never put out an offer for a company where I think my reader will 95% likely lose, or be taken for a ride.

Having had lots of mails from people using Stockopaedia and using it myself I am 100% confident.

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.

My next update is June 30th so by then we'll know if we are in or out. And frankly thank God!!

I'm sure like me you're sick of the whole thing, just eager to get it over with.

As I write this on the 9th the odds have come in on Brexit to 3/1 from 4/1. So a couple of weeks ago staying in looked a dead cert. Now not so sure. Although it is long odds on for remain so the bookies still think remain is nailed on at the moment anyway.

The younger you are the more likely you are to stay in. The older and grumpier you are the more likely you are an outer. I'm in despite being old and grumpy as if we stay in shares will rise nicely. And if we vote out there will head south for a short time. The oldies are more likely to vote.

Of course it makes life trickier than normal. If the vote is out there will probably be a knee jerk reaction down. But then I suspect it won't be long before normal service is resumed and a likely good strategy is to start buying quite quickly on any fear driven sell off.

If it's a remain vote likely the markets will swing up .
Our lives will carry on as normal on exit vote. Indeed I don't think even much happens for a couple of years if there is an out vote.

I suspect either way after a few days of volatility things will get back to normal and we will wonder: What was all that about?

Anyway there is no real answer. The markets one way or another will like it once the uncertainty is resumed and we can all get on with things.

One way or the other though as long as you have cash or leverage to use maybe it will be possible to make money either way.

If it's brexit, wait for a couple of days and then buy up all the lovely bargains. If it is remain, again get buying fast and enjoy a nice rally, then sell up for the summer! That's my plan, let you know what I did in my next update on June 30th.

Those of you planning FTSE bets etc beforehand I urge caution. If you get caught on the wrong side of it you could lose a lot.

Perhaps consider guaranteed stops. But I suspect wherever you put a stop it
will get taken out.

Remember the FTSE trades 24 hours up to 10pm on Fridays and from 11pm Sunday nights with most firms. If the vote is to leave expect massive volatility in the middle of the night.

The spread firms are worried and they are all going to increase margin requirements heavily to make sure they are not stuck with people who can't pay them. So if your margin level is high be careful. You may get an unexpected demand for money. Be careful out there!

Anyway a reminder, always a great time to buy when there is panic!

Personally I've skimmed a lot of spreadbets, low on leverage and I have more than £250,000 sitting in ISA cash which I can use after the event for opportunities that could arise.

Onto recent trading for me. It's been rather a fine year so far thanks to a couple of bids that went in and some longer-term trades that have kept going up. And some IPOs that have really paid off.

I've also managed to cut any losses quickly except for one which caught me unawares, still even that there wasn't too much damage.

I've sold and topsliced quite a bit to raise cash for post vote opportunities. And also because a lot of trades have reached target and top of their valuation for now.

Onto one or two buys too despite Brexit (I am either fearless or stupid. Maybe both).

I bought some Proactis (PHD) . It's reached a supplier network deal with P and O and the shares are breaking out of a range.

It has a very strong orderbook and balance sheet too. It seems to be going from strength to strength and I think given time 100p or thereabouts looks possible here. Nicely under the radar too.

I've also bought Benchmark (BMK) .

There was a reverse takeover of another company which should boost profits by a massive amount and I don't think that is reflected yet in the price.

It also has a lot of products in development which should help push up the price as and when they come on stream. So lots to aim at here with I think at least another 20% upside available.

I've shorted Emis which looks near the top of any sensible valuation after a good run targetting a run back down to the 960-70 area.

As I said earlier a lot of trades have come good, many have reached or gone way beyond targets so I have done a lot of topslicing and selling - all are still good companies so I might buy back after the euro vote.

Waterman reached target nicely and seems to struggle at 100p so sold for a profit of £609. Looks cheap still though, so as Arnie says, I'll be back!

Interquest also hit target so was sold for profits of £675 and £825 - total profit for that one then of £1,500. Sold Fxi for a profit of £2,126

Sold some small Cer for a profit of £368 keeping the main bulk longer-term.

Last of the softcat went at over target for profit of £795 and £2023 for a combined of profit of £2,818.
Ncc had a good run for took profits there of £590.The longer-term sbet in Dom has gone for a profit of £2,970.

The trading shares in TEP nicely well passed the target so those have gone for a nice profit of £2,184. Look went at target for £482.

So total profits banked for the site are a nice £12,260.

Elsewhere recent trades are really doing well. Alliance Pharma is 15% up and still going higher. Should be more to come there id it can crack 50p.

Motorpoint has been a great buy and was tipped by the Mail on Sunday. Midwich too has proved a real cracker. CMC results were very good and it should benefit a lot from likely brexit volatility coming up. Other spreadbet firms should get in the money too.

Avon Rubber has been a great performer rising strongly since I bought and I'm looking for a rise up to a tenner.

Character Group produced a nice statement and shares have been rising now quite nicely, hopefully a rating up to 600
coming.
GB Group produced a very nice ahead report. Trades are now up £32,000 but personally I've made more than £100,000 on these. Some lovely rises from some recent buys.

Paysafe is trying to come back after a poor run.

Iomart came up with a very decent statement, I think it is just a question of being patient for an inevitable bid prob around 350p. Good luck with whatever you decide to do about Brexit volatility. There is no answer and all we can do is the best we can. Just be careful not to go "all in" with a FTSE short or long as if you're on the wrong side of it you'll get caned.

** 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 Xeros 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.

***
If you like to trade the FTSE, Dow, or currencies then Spreado has an outstanding tight 0.8 spread - that is incredibly tight. The platform is very good and robust and have used it to great satisfaction and profits.

You can sign up at this link which includes a decent market commentary:

***
I also use IG's spreadbetting service too along with other firms. Great execution of trades and nice 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.

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.

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 every other Thursday afternoon.
