What's that weird feeling on my legs? Some kind of fabric?
Arrrgghh! It's trousers!
I've had to put trousers on. For months it has been nothing but shorts
and a T Shirt. But there is a nip in the air. Summer is over, my
lovely summer.
I also have to put trousers on as I am visiting the psysio. That spelling
looks wrong but I just can't be bothered to look it up. Assume that's
right then.
The top part of my leg has hurt for ages. Is it one of those
You're getting old tough luck" things or, as a hypochondriac (how many
more awkward spellings?) am I about to peg out?
I stupidly Dr Googled it and it wasn't long before I was convinced my days were numbered.
Anyhow. The psysio Sarah told me to "pop my trousers off". I should have stuck with shorts. But I did have my best pants on.
Heathcare pros always say "pop" when it's something embarrassing. It's clever as it makes it sound like a nothing,
Could you just pop your penis on the table for me?" "I am just going to pop this up your bum" etc.
I moaned at Sarah about all my troubles for way too long and within three seconds she told me I had "TFL".
Luckily it wasn't something associated with Transport For London. It's a long winded and impossible to spell thing ok will give it a go "Tensor Fascia Lata" - that is what is buggered up.
Sarah spent half an hour pulling me around. I'd have preferred getting a filling sans injection. It was painful as she got stuck in. At one point I am sure my leg was close to the ceiling and my head on the floor. As well as the pain I was worried my testicles were going to fall out of the pants.
Glad when it was over, Sarah gave me three exercises to do and emailed me them, I am seeing her again in a few days.
Getting home it all felt a bit better. It's not pain exactly just tenderness and it
gets worse after say 15 mins walking. I thought about doing the exercises but watched TV instead.
Two days later an email pops in. "Sarah reminds you to do your exercises" or some such. Bloody internet, snooping on me. Yes, she knew I hadn't logged in to view the exercises.
I then tried them. They're hard and I don't know if I am doing them right. Still, things feel a bit better. I'd better make sure my best pants are washed and ironed for visit two. By visit 6 I expect I won't care anymore and I'll be down to the asda own label ones.
Summer was great thanks. I am sure you're not interested in what I think of Mallorca and Palma and all that. Other people's holidays, who cares? If you want to know about other people's holidays and smugness about them surely that is what Facebook is for?
More interesting maybe are Barnsley and Cardiff. Two places I was forced to visit by my son who wanted to go to football away games. I always protest we never ever win away so what's the point and he cleverly comes back with he loves spending time with me and it's a bonding thing.
Barnsley. I have to say, it is awful and I am sorry if you live there. The people are terrific, funny and warm. But the high street is a heartbreak. Literally everything has closed. Even Marks and Sparks sits there looking like a ghost of the past.
Want something to eat on your way back from a game? There's sub par Subway. Otherwise it's fish and chips, a kebab or fish and chips.
The fish and chip place looked battered.
Old fridges lie around that cost too much to be mended. Oh and hurry up, it
shuts at 7pm, as does everything else apparently. Prices are amazing: £3 for fish and chips but of course they are dire.
The Barnsley stadium itself is lovely. And so is the great community spirit. But if even the chains can't make money there, the future can't be bright. Some money needs spending there, and urgently. We lost the game deservedly. Spirit won over money.
Cardiff is a different matter. A lively, entertaining place with lots to see and do and a thriving high street and shopping area.
We set off from London at 1 for a Friday night 7.45pm kick off.
I thought plenty of time. Get to the hotel in Cardiff, a nice relax for a couple of hours, a swim in the hotel pool before the game.
Arrived in Cardiff at 7 after hours on the car park that was the M4 and whatever road after that. Trying to find the hotel car park pushed me into various bus and cab only areas of the town centre.
I am expecting £1,000 worth of tickets any day now. Not being able to find the hotel car park I made do with the John Lewis car park instead. A walk
to the hotel and a cab to the stadium, we got there just in time for a draw.
Next day Cardiff was heaving with rugby fans. A brilliant atmosphere, and tills appeared to be ringing, or pinging these days. We had a great view of the town centre from the hotel window. Lots of partying most of the night.
The John Lewis store was exceptional there. To make up for the harrassed evening of trying to find the hotel car park, there was an unexpected bonus. The hotel charged £18 for overnight parking. John Lewis? £12. Bargain!
Cardiff is definitely getting something right. Looks like a great place to live and thrive. If I was back in my 20s I'd consider it!
The football stadium is decent too and the fans in good voice.
At least these days with my son playing on Saturdays for his school I don't have to attend Surrey Youth League sunday games.
The parents were mainly shouty and scary thinking their sons were playing champions league and not an u13 game down the A3.
Ah. Down the A3 on sundays no more trying to locate football pitches somewhere.
I remember the days of driving around New Malden winding the window down and accosting locals.
Have you seen a football pitch anywhere... please... I am desperate..." To be fair New Malden residents tried to be helpful.
Just don't try it in Guildford. They don't like strangers round those parts.
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.
Thanks for the feedback over the summer on the seminar.
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:
I came to the Feb 4th seminar 2019 and it well exceeded my expectations. I learnt a ton about trading, keeping it simple and it has given me the confidence to cut some positions that though weren't losing were pooled investments and research my own companies. I reinvested the proceeds in a spread account and new isa and the results from using your process are exemplary! I held off emailing as I have only just started taking profits from these positions.
My Spreadbet account has risen in value massively and my new isa has soared. Had I been in the same positions I was on the 4th Feb I would have been roughly the same account value or worse off as back then but with your guidance and insight I have added considerably to my accounts."
Well it is all down to you Chris in the end and I hope profits continue to roll in but remember if there is a down market to use the tools I showed you to make money from a slump or a Corbyn govt.
The next seminar is Dec 2 Mail me if interested, robbiethetrader with "Dec seminar interested" in the subject line.
Naked Rambling
Switch on the news now and it feels like watching an episode of "The Thick of It" except it appears real.
I've decided "whatever" about Brexit though I still can't see why people want it so badly as I can't find any advantage and I think it will damage us, at least short-term.
What I, and many others fear is a Corbyn government and that would really screw the economy up.
The problem with a general election is it will be a second referendum which is nuts.
I, for example, want to remain. But I prefer the Tory economic policies. There must be Labour voters who want to leave but prefer their policies.
It's all become one issue. The worst thing that could happen with an election is another split parliament and total paralysis.
I feel really sorry for companies struggling to decide what to do, it must be tough and one way or another let's hope decisions are taken one way or the other so we can get on with it. It's the uncertainty that kills.
Not having Corbyn as PM is more important than anything else and Sajid Javid's economic policies look decent. So I will be voting Tory despite the complete mess they made. Because whatever mess they make, try Labour then you can take the mess and times it by ten.
Our parliament now looks too old fashioned. Why is it like too sets of football fans mouthing off at each other. All the braying and shouting, just awful.
Whoever the new speaker is must try and change things. As it appears it's
like two sets of football fans how's about a yellow and red card system? Time action was really taken and kick out for a time those that go over the top.
Let's face it "speaker" Bercow must be one of the
most unlikeable people ever. Or is it dislikeable?
Patronising and totally up himself as well as making PMQ's far too long. Anyway don't feel sorry for him, he's off with a million in his pension. No longer will we hear him shout "Order"! (Mine's a g and t btw).
Not much to watch over the summer but the autumn shows are kicking in.
The Handmaid's Tale (****)
While perhaps the end plot this time was pretty similar to the end
of the last series I still found the whole thing entertaining and dramatic.
I suspect the writers would have been braver to gamble on on our
heroine to actually go to Canada making the next series all about
a war with Gilead and getting her daughter back from there. Attwood's
new book is out this week, I'll be a buyer
Succession (*****).
This remains a great portrayal of a disfunctional family as Dad continues to screw with his children and enjoys it.
The power games are fun to watch and generally the show makes you feel good about yourself as absolutely everyone is horrible. But it's a "not really their fault" horrible. It's their parents that effed them up.
This week's episode was the best ever. Could the Roy's succeed in a bid
to take over Pierce? Cue both families disgracing themselves from both sides
of the political spectrum - just like our parliament!
The Capture (****)
Interesting idea to base a series on the truth or not given by a surveillance society.
Not sure it's quite up there with The Bodyguard yet.
It could be the CCTV footage material gets dull after a bit but the signs are good so far.
Manifest (****). I know really this is total tosh. Part soap part sci fi but I can't help but love the premise of a plane that goes missing for five years and then turns up with the passengers unaged.
Clunky script, terrible acting but... it's great fun! Best way to watch it is download it when you have a lazy afternoon to spare, fast forward through the soapy bits (gets easy to spot those fast) and enjoy. You can whizz through a 40 min episode in 20. It's fun doing that too! Give it a go!
Britain's Got Talent The Champions (**). Pretty dire fare which serves to remind you "The champions" weren't really all that to start with. There is no point to having judges who just enthuse about everything.
The whole fun of it was watching the bad ones. This seems pointless.
Emergency services have devised a "grab bag" for us to er .. grab in
an emergency.
Do they know something we don't? Is a no deal Brexit going to be that bad?
Its list is bizarre. "Phone charger, radio. And a whistle! But what about cash? Surely in a new zombie world that might be more useful than a phone charger you can't plug in.
Great news, we are going to have a mild and sunny winter.
That's nailed on as the Met office has told us it could be one of the worst an coldest winters ever!
It's reported afternoon naps are the way to a healthy heart. Great - see you, I'm off to bed.

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.

Typical bad planner I am. Been away the whole summer then go
away for a bit of an "adults" holiday. I'm only just back thinking:
Swear word... I've got to try and cover what I did and I can't even
remember what the hell I did yesterday..."
I'll do the best I can - anything I've missed I'll catch up on next time.
People always ask what I do when away. I just take a tiny little
google chrome laptop with me and check in from time to time
only pressing a button if something looks too tempting or I
feel it is time to get out.
Anyway another volatile summer! Crazy price variations as usual - when people are away there is less liquidity and so share prices move in barmy ways.
However it proved the "summer of love" for me with another bid for
me - this time for Entertainment One after the success of the bid
for Safecharge. So lots of profits about to be banked.
More in a mo. I'll comment more on current conditions a bit further down but my headline thought is there is little doubt volatility is ahead and it should be worth having some cash on the sidelines as firepower and some protection.
I have, and perhaps you should too? And it should be worth considering stops if you haven't before. Could save you in a sudden meltdown. Though with
volatility set them well away if not using a get out quick (see new book)
It's not surprising investors feel uneasy at the mo. Mad politicos, China,
Trump tweets, Brexit, problems in Euro land...
Markets are always perverse though. If you feel fear about the future it makes it more likely you're about to sell up just as prices soar!
Indeed some kind of deal Brexit or delay could cause a nice rise, and you could argue a lot of a no deal is priced in. And in a no deal some non UK shares will boom because of a weak pound.
So it's a compromise thing = I reckon still have some shares but cash too. That's me anyhow. We will all handle it differently.
Just try not to worry about Fear of Missing out. "I can't sell anything in case
there is as deal and the market booms" etc.
Back to what was a great summer for me without having to do much. Indeed on the website positions for Entertainment One, profits are
huge.
A rough calculation is a profit for the site holdings of over £120,000 which will be the biggest one off closed win for the site ever.
Not only that - dividends over the years from ETO probably amount to £20,000 plus which of course aren't recorded on the site.
I had been building a massive stake in this one for
years as recounted here and I was always hopeful for a bid and patience paid off.
Combined with the Safecharge bid, profits from being patient with these two are over £140,000.
Indeed I didn't have to do a lot over the summer: I sold a few that weren't
performing and did some small buying. And I also bought a few non performers back.
I'm not sure of the interest of stuff I bought way back in the hols so
will concentrate for now on more recentish moves.
I picked up some more Avon Rubber (AVON).
At last the mask distributor has used its massive cash pile to make an
acquisition and the market really likes it, as do I. It was a giant buy
of more than 100m dollars but looks a great fit.
There was little point in having tons of cash floating about with it doing nothing. If I was management I would sell the dairy division to concentrate on defence.
Shares are stupidly volatile because the spread is so silly early doors as it's not traded a lot. But overall, it just gradually keeps going up
and 2200p looks poss by year end. Dividend is decent too.
I bought some Codemasters (CDM). I would say I bought them cautiously given it's the games market of which my knowledge is precisely zero. So some
risk!
Rather, I bought on what look like decent figures, some net cash and a claim that there is a strong slate of games due for release in 2020.
I noted though one game has its release date delayed till October - I just don't have the knowledge to know how to interpret that though the market didn't seem too bothered. (But could be a negative sign?)
I can imagine people still buying games whether we have a no deal or a Corbyn! Cautious on this one so a stop will be there if it starts to fall back.
I've picked up some Tritax Big Box (Bbox) on weakness. Worries about no deal overdone here. This one is a very clever business focused on warehouses - there is an endless need for these for now and the future.
It's not a share that will double just like that but it is a great income share and one to simply hold from this day forth will death... well ok
not exactly but I've stacked a load away in the isa and pension
and expect to leave it there, forget it enjoy the income and also
come away eventually with good capital raise too.
When I say share, it is really an Investment Trust - a Real Estate Investment Trust. If you end up getting any your broker might send
you a weird "test" to fill in!
I've bought some more ITV - this one is my next bid target now Entertainment One has gone. I've bought some for the isa but I have a giant holding now in spreadbets.
That's because on a bigger holding doing it on a spreadbet saves me
a fortune in stamp duty.
You may be reading like me about Apple and the like all getting into TV.
If I were them, I would buy ITV, then buy football rights. Interesting
that ITV together with another company is developing ten minute
episodes of dramas and shows for the new generation of non
TV watchers, stuff to watch easily on phones. I like that
looking to the future.
A tiddler that looks interesting is TP Group (TPG) It's at the
very bottom of a market cap range I would buy, the
liquidity seems ok. It's an engineer mainly in the defence
and energy sectors.
A decent profit is forecast for next time and it has a large cash pile which makes its valuation at the bottom end.
Of course being small it comes with some risk but looks worth
an investment for 6 months to a year to see how it goes. Patience
may be needed but if it goes "ahead of" it's one of those
that could climb 30% overnight and there is a lot of support
at 6-6.5p.
I did actually buy more ETO before the bid but I won't add to the
site as enough has been made. There is a slight hope of a higher
counter bid, I will leave it a tad longer but I will probably
start banking profits shortly, as I said earlier profits for the
site will be over £100,000.
At the mo the ETO share prices hovers just above the bid price showing
the market thinks there is a slim chance of a counter bid but it is
not out of the question.
Safecharge profits have obviously been banked, they are no longer listed! Profits for the site of over £18,000 - a lot more personally
plus a 5% dividend too over the years. Farewell Safecharge and
thanks!
When you bank a profit before a delisting (or a final bid) by the way in essence you
take a tiny bit less profit than waiting 2 months for the whole
bid amount. Might as well, and use the cash elsewhere.
While remaining a TEP holder long term the short term adds in hindsight
were near the top and a trailing stop took me out for losses of £424, £363 and a profit of £626 for an overall loss of £163. Considering there was a decent 25p dividend paid out, not too bad but very badly timed entries. Rwa went for a loss of £191.
The shoe trades did really well and hit target - they then started to fall
and it was obviously time to quit - not near the high sadly but not too bad for
a profit of £1,596. Sold some near the high and a trailing stop took out the others lower. I think a good point to make again about "following" people such as me is beware. I decided to quit as it fell. But you could have copied me and stayed in and may still have been in when a warning hit a few days ago - so you could easily have lost 20pc plus. I always reiterated - beware of copying others including me, buying on tips and then not having your own plan on when to sell. You MUST do your own homework and have your own exit plan and plenty of examples in the new Naked Trader 5 !
I took a loss of £175 on Essensys - I changed my mind on it - I had a proper look at the figures and just wasn't so sure, so I played safe. It's easy to have conformation bias when you own something and I knew when I looked at it again, I wouldn't have bought it the first time so I outed it.
The summer is about the only time I would ever "average down" which I am usually against as often you can get silly drops on no volumes like Cine and Synt This doesn't often go well
for me when I break my own rules but I couldn't understand the valuation based on likely future.
Synt was tricky because there was a massive rights issue giving new shares at a much lower market price of 240p to help fund a giant acquisition. In effect an forced average down. . I've learned from many past similar events that the share price falls initially down towards an issue price and then gradually rises. So all stops were off and I bought some more in addition to the rights shares. What then usually happens, happened... and shares are on their way back.
The shorts have worked a treat. The Pennon one bagged a profit of £450 .
The Domino short came out for a £1,200 profit and Talk garnered a profit of £950.
I've taken A Vast profit on Avast (gettit?) of £841. The trade did everything
I was looking for and more, way past target so I have banked. I'd like
to buy again if it goes a bit lower.
Those profits and losses all banked works out at around a profit
of £23,000 for the site.
I am out of time for the mo as already getting mails asking
where the update is and I don't want my box clogged up
anymore than it is! I'll tidy up next update. Some very good
rises for pre summer buys and will go through them next time.
Just to say we're coming up to a period of great uncertainty to say the least and that is what the market hates most.
As more of an investor than trader I guess it was generally a question of finding a great company. Now it has got harder as politics and Brexit has to be taken into account before pressing a buy button.
Will the pound affect said share price? Will a hard Brexit screw up the price or is it good because said share is quoted in dollars.
But isn't a lot priced in already? Hey maybe things will be ok and everything will bounce!
I hope and I am sure you do things will be resolved sooner than later.
In the meantime I do think it's sensible to have a lot of cash on the sidelines to await the final outcome.
Shares held in the meantime should generally at least generate a good dividend and net debt should be low unless it's a company with a lot of assets. In case of a meltdown stop losses make sense.
I do hope by 2020 things will be much resolved and we can get back to normal!

If you are thinking of A ftse trade try
as their spread is the tightest at 0.8. Also very
pleased with execution - FTSE cos the cheapest spreads
there too.
SPREADBET FIRMS:
It is hard to find a firm that does prices on the very small companies but this company does:
Website to your email PLUS extra trades which do not make it to the
website (a bit higher risk)
If you'd like the website material sent to your mailbox so you
get everything before the site itself is updated every other Thursday
plus one or two exclusive extra higher risk trades not featured on the
site mail me at robbiethetrader with "email" in the
subject line and I will send you details on how to subscribe.
25% off Stockopedia sub and free trial
Stockopedia is indeed like a stock market encyclopaedia and a great place to scan for new shares to buy, check out fundamentals, discuss on a sensible bulletin board. Each share gets a ranking, you can use "guru" screens to find shares, there is even a stock screen loosely based on my criteria! There are strategies based on ideas from top investors.
There is lots more really fantastic material and I believe access should help investors and I now use it myself.
For your 25% discount off any sub (eg £56 discount off UK sub) and free 14 day trial you need this link:

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.
