NAKED TRADER PODCAST 3 !
>
Lots of info on shares and trading plus competitions, music and fun
with your DJ NT.
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! 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!
If ever this was a time for Corporal Jones to run round shouting
Don't panic!" - this is it.
I still bet in three months we'll be going "remember the bat
flu thing"?
I look forwards as always to seminars - the first on Monday will
be very interesting for me as I never did one just focused on
spreadbetting before.
Also, I never had anyone else present either so that will be fun
as we quiz spreadbet firms directly Jeremy Paxman style.
Are they really out there to get us and take our money or can
you really just treat spreadbetting as investing with the added
bonus of better stops and the ability to make money from
downside?
We shall find out! It looks like most of you who are coming have
come to a seminar before so be good to see you again. Given
the current crazy conditions, a good time to look at spreadbetting.
On March 9th time for me to meet new investors, look forwards
to seeing you all - maybe there will be some decent bargains after
the recent market melee. And on the 23rd be lovely to see some of
you again for the follow up.
One crazy person has booked all three. He is really going to be heartily sick of me...
For both the upcoming ones turn left when you arrive at the hotel
and you will find us, just register and start drinking the provided
caffeine! Lots of lovely grub and snacks will then await you all day.
I try and keep innovating with the food - the doughnut stand went down well at the last one, so that might make an appearance!
Thanks to those of you who returned questionaires for the beginner/
improver on the 9th - if you haven't yet and want to, asap please.
There is still space left for beginners/improvers March 9th email me
at robbiethetrader with "march interested".
STOP PRESS: MARCH IS NOW SOLD OUT NEW DATE
APR 24th SEE ABOVE
You could really pity me at the weekend. Friday afternoon: horrible
packed train to Derby. Hotel. Hotel room service food. Cab to
Derby FC. Rain, wind, grumpy old gits or pissed teenagers everywhere.
Battered by the elements for 2 hours. Then another half an hour
of battery outside waiting for a cab. Revolting burger from van.
Saturday. Hotel "breakfast". How long have those "scrambled eggs" been there?
Tea and coffee from a vending machine! It's supposed to be the oldest Marriott
in the world. That figures.
Engineering works on the trains. Weird train to the middle of nowhere, wind
and rain again. Had to wait next to what looked like the son of Boris Johnson
after a night of Class A drugs who moaned the whole time.
Long journey back. Tube and another train.
Sunday up early for son's football match. Get teenager out of bed with a mix
of threats and promises.
Football game on muddy hellish pitch next to Heathrow Airport which will eventually become
the third runway when the whole place is bulldozed.
Battered by rain and wind for another two hours. The rain is so great every time
the ball is kicked it goes for miles outside the pitch. I don't care if everyone glares
at me I am not moving to get the bastard thing back.
At the end one lad decides to punch another which then leads to a mass
brawl including parents and coaches. I sidle away trying to avoid the
dog sh1t that is everywhere, my son luckily not involved.
Battered by more wind and rain on the way back to the car.
Got in the door, the cat sniff my trainers. Yes, you guessed it. My
attempt to avoid the sh1t had been in vain.
How I have got away with all that without getting cold/flu/food poisoning or
the bat virus I will never know. All I know is: the football season must
be nearly over.... isn't it?
What better time to sit down when it's rainy and windy and
make a contribution to the next naked trader podcast?
There's even the chance to win £100 for what I rate the most interesting contribution.
Don't be shy! Anything goes!
So here's the kind of thing I'm looking for:
What's your best life hack? That bit of advice you'd like to pass on. Or
what one piece of advice would you now pass on to your younger self?
Your desert island disc - what song would you take with you
to cheer you up and why? Is there a song that has a story attached for you?
Share fights! Do you like two shares in the same sector? Which are they
and why do you prefer one over the other?
Song fights! Which two songs with similar or opposing titles can you
come up with and which should win.
For example: "Love will tear us apart" Vs "Love will keep us together"
Or "Angel Eyes" vs "Pretty Little Angel Eyes"
Big plans: Have you anything interesting planned for 2020- share!
Nostalgia corner: What old TV series/ad/ person/ thing about the past do
you remember fondly and why?
Your worst ever and/or best ever trade - what happened and what did you learn?
What is your favourite share and why?
What's the best piece of advice you could pass on to a new share trader?
Do you have a lucky number, what is it and why?
Any one off short funny stories of something that's happened to you also agreeable,
or anything you think might be entertaining.
If you have a mike at home and want to put your contribution in words yourself
feel free to send me a voicefile preferably in MP3 format.
Please keep contributions reasonably short to save my tired eyes and
thanks in advance for any contributions!
Please put "pod" in the subject line.
Thanks for all the nice feedback re the last seminar.
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
Hurrah! That monster Weinstein has been put away.
What heroes the women are that brought him down. It's such
a shame that he was allowed to get away with it for so many years.
But once someone reaches celeb status people get too scared
of them. Twas the same with Saville. Hopefully going forwards life is going to be a lot more difficult for sex attackers.
Yorkshire Tea has been attacked for some thing or the other which I refuse to read about.
I don't care what the tea did, I am going to carry on drinking it whatever
as all us Yorkshire lovers know, it is the best!
Anyhow latest research says tea drinking is linked to an extra year of life expectancy! Maybe I'll get to 80 instead of 79?
Onto some TV:
Better Call Saul (****)
Welcome back - lovely to be in that slow-moving world with
the unusual camera angles, loved the crisps getting stuck in
the machine.
We see Jimmy beginning to go full bad. We also see the start
of the drugs making facility and great to be back in the world
of Gustavo. The scariest non scary villain ever.
Curb Your Enthusiasm (*****)
After a bit of a "meh" ep 2, the episode in Mexico with the
yo yo dieter was terrific. The "guess your weight" part was
truly inspired. Laugh after laugh. What a man!
Then the episode with the "pro crier". And the sex doll. Great!
Homeland (***)
Carrie is back and as crazy as ever. It's a bit same old,
same old. Remember the amazing first series?
But it's not bad: Saul feels a bit like he's on auto pilot and as
usual the plot holes are wide. Carrie getting a younger rival is
fun. What's the betting she will take over from Carrie by
series end?
The scenes in the desert weren't bad and there are still
thrills and spills, but it must definitely be the last series.
Avenue 5 (*)
A total surprising dud from The Thick of It's Armando Iannucci.
Some great actors like Hugh Laurie too but this space cruise lost
in space comedy is devoid of laughs and full of bad stereotypes.
Not sure what happened here. Best forgotten. Move on!
Flesh And Blood (****)
Very entertaining four parter similar to "Gold Digger".
Best part was having a sugar mum forking out £300 for
sex with her personal trainer. I'll do it for £200....
Though perhaps the rate should be higher given trainers charge
£500 at Virgin Active! (Of which Virgin Active keeps £495)
The next door neighbour obsessive is a great character. Look
forwards to seeing how it all plays out.
I noticed a feature about what sex position is favoured by which
star sign.
So I had a look at Scorpio. Then I scratched my head. "Standing up
69" apparently should be my favourite.
Now I hate to admit to being really bad in bed but frankly, I am pretty
sure I've never done this or even have a clue as to how to attempt it.
And thinking about how it could be done, if I did try it I can only imagine ending up
in Accident and Emergency.
Even worse the ambulance driver would shout across the packed department: "It's not conovirus.. it's just another
attempted stand up 69..."
SEMINAR NEWS
NEW DATE APR 24th
Email me for details at robbiethetrader with "APR seminar interested". There
is a decent first ten to book discount on offer.
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.
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!
Some recent feedback:
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. This is a genuine coaching session in how to trade like him if you put in the graft. My advice therefore would be to sign up for this while he is still prepared to do it.'
When I signed up to your course my goal was to make 20% p.a., I've achieved that in less than six months. Your course was pretty much going to be my last attempt at trading, So once again thank you, it's by far the best money I've ever spent on trading education and probably on education full stop."
I felt we were in for a long day of numbers, PowerPoints and dry talk.
Instead, what we got was fascinating and enjoyable mix of punchy insights, merriment and wise-cracks, sharp wit, and to the point no nonsense advice. I sat down at 9:45am and didn't look at the time again until way after 8pm at which point I had to drag myself away."
I read your books and understood the words "" however I was missing that final nugget of knowledge "" actually seeing you valuate a company and make that buy/no buy decision live means I now get it."

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
BUMPER MARKETS CRAZED BAT FLU
WTF SH1T REPORT
First of all, to whoever it was that started the virus because he
wanted fresh bat - I would like to, on behalf of us all, stick something nasty right up his .....
Go on, how many of you have been shouting: "f******* s******
c******* b****** ? I know, all of you!
I've not seen so much fear about since we thought Jeremy
Corbyn might get into No 10 and make Dianne Abbott the Chancellor.
And if you want to put fear into perspective that would have been
a whole lot worse long-term.
I know those of you who have been investing for a while or for ever
are hurting as no doubt unless you acted really fast you've probably
lost a lot on paper including probably some lovely recent gains.
Let me put an arm round you. Me too. A hug? Go on then. Look,
it is only money and you may well and probably will get it back
in time and more. Courage, mon brave.
Who knows? In two weeks when I update again this update may look
terribly out of date because everything has come back and flu fears
have receded.
If it is any solace these kinds of sudden meltdowns are very unusual but that makes them hard to handle for beginners and experienced alike.
From being "meh" about the virus the markets did a sudden
panic and wiped loads off share prices pretty much just like
that.
Indeed I was pretty complacent myself - "It'll blow over fast," I thought but when markets started tumbling I had to take action.
Whether investor or trader perhaps it brings home to roost that
we are in a risky business and paper profits can soon become
paper losses.
Fear has to be the worst human emotion and when it leads to
panic, guess what happens to share prices. The speed of it
all surprised me and I've been through some speedy meltdowns.
Here is an email for a reader which I publish because I suspect this is what is going on for a lot of people.
****
READER EMAIL:
Perhaps could you comment on this scenario experienced by someone (ahem) very close to me:
- Up to last Friday (21st), the market was a down one day and up the next, so he thinks Friday's dip, and the dip over the weekend, is another of those corrections, so he does nothing (doesn't sell stock, short the FTSE etc)
- the market continues to fall, but he thinks it's corrected enough, so again he doesn't do any thing
- come Thursday, his holdings are down 10% and he's beginning to think he needs a change of underwear. When will it all end?
Do I (I mean, he) now:
- sit tight and pray that it's all overdone, and when the market rebounds, pile in as much as I can, go long on the FTSE etc etc
or
- Sell everything
or
- Short the FTSE to hedge my holdings (the trouble is this would need to be around £15-20 pp and it might be too late anyway)
If you can comment, that would be most helpful "¦.
Meanwhile I will do my rabbit in headlights impersonation.

I think this reader summarises better than I could the nightmare many
faced this week and I wish I had a real good answer but I don't.
It is awful. There is nothing worse than seeing your money
disappearing. Perhaps the main thing to point out is: do not
play with money you can't afford to lose at least half of.
At least then if you do lose half of it you will still be fine. If you have
been playing with money you couldn't afford to lose this must be
a lesson never to do it again. And if you have been over leveraging on
spreadbets you will get closed out and sent a bill you have to pay now.
There are lots of ways of looking at it: Get out, it's all going to get worse or
get buying, the panic gives a fresh chance to buy shares on
the cheap.
Or I bet the ultra brave wouldn't even sell but try and buy the sudden bargains appearing. I wasn't quite so brave.
Or you can cut a lot, hold some cash and do some shorting (what I did).
Or you could sell the lot and come back another time.
A lot depends on how much you have, whether it really is play money, your
tolerance for risk/gambling. Everyone is different.
There is no right answer for my reader. I think the main answer would be if you can afford to lose more it's fine to leave it and wait for the comeback. If not, well you may need to get out.
To keep a clear head ensure the amount you have is manageable and it is not your life savings.
Perhaps one way to think about it is: You are running a business. Don't get
emotional. Try and take clear, level-headed business decisions.
For beginners, it makes sense to hold off till the picture clears, then it might
be an amazing time to step into shares at low prices.
If I really knew what's going to happen next I'd tell you but
I have as much of a clue as you do.
What I could say is that over 20 years of full-time investing
I've seen so many crises and they all end up disappearing.
This one will as well, the only problem is how much damage will
it do to our portfolios in the meantime and when's the best
time to buy?
Sadly there are no right answers. Probably the best plan was to
top slice the shares you were most worried about then get
ready with some cash to buy some stuff that's been hammered.
All easier said than done.
If this is of any interest I tend to leave the sipp and my sister's
isa alone. Let them play out long-term and in the
long run, as long as you have decent companies - these
blips tend to be nothing more.
Perhaps one thing to point out is that it is worth having
the ability to go short with spreadbets.
Of course on Monday at the SB seminar I'll be looking at ways
to make money from the downside and panic.
So what's happened? Everything has been hit regardless of merit - good share or bad share.
Smaller companies get it worse as panic sellers drive prices way down as market makers just get hit by sellers and keep on pushing prices down. Stops also get hit and it all becomes a perfect storm.
Of course the flipside is it means some fabulous bargains at the right time.
What did I do then? Eh, Mr smartypants?
The most annoying thing for me is: I had to do some WORK!
Normally I might made a trade or two a week, and watch
box sets.
This week I actually had to pay attention, make a lot of trades and
ponder what to do. All of which came as a shock. Last time I remember this was when Lehman Bros went bust.
Yes Burns - YOU! Yes YOU have to do some work and some thinking and not before time.
Well, when shares start to tumble my first port of call is to start
to lump on shorts as spreadbets and an ETF in the isa (explained
in the books).
This is to help to cover for any perhaps temporary hits making
it a bit easier not to totally panic.
Next is I usually nip through and topslice anything that's done well (that means take sell some, keep some). That enables some profits to be banked and also lifts up a cash pile to buy back cheap once the
furore subsides.
Once all that is sorted I wait around and see whether the problem gets worse or better.
If worse, more shorts, if better, start to buy a few bargains. Try and do it
reasonable slowly and carefully thinking of it as a business and
not getting emotional.
This virus thing though is so unpredictable!
Now given this website isn't a full time job taking some profits and reflecting it here is a bit hard but I've given it a go.
I tried to dip my toe back in with some small buying yesterday but
things looks precarious so I came back out of those.
I should point out I made a lot from FTSE shorts which will discuss
at the spreadbet seminar on Monday, I made a few screenshots
to show how I did it and handle the volatility. But this website is not about that.
However I shorted the index rather than bother with individual shares to short like airlines for example. It's easier just to lump on an index.
For website purposes I've taken the last position if there was more than one and banked that.
I was holding massive profits across the board so
some of my better ones were topsliced. These are most but given
the number not all. There were so many and in the time available and with lots of calculations to be made here are some:
FDM, £35. Drap £1,032. OMG £1,285. CnC
£660. K3 £1,261, COH £2026, Eman £380. TMG £515 and £6476. Abdp £5,554. Rest of Itv £1,300. 1/2 Gan £2,825.
I sold all the recent Rank buy for a profit of £304 . It had a decent run and was starting to come back with all else. No time for heroics.
I still think these are all decent companies and I still hold some shares in most of them. And they are all on the list to buy when the bat fears
are receding. Perhaps even tomorrow or next week.
You should remember while these profits might look great but if I had sold them a few days earlier these would have been way more.
Anyway in real life, all in all I lost a right few quid on shares but gained some back on shorts - but nowhere near all.
So the isas have tumbled in value but the spreadbet accounts where all the shorts are have shot up. That all overall still leaves me with a lot
less than two weeks ago.
Shorts in Restaurant, Pets At Home, Card Factory, Superdry A and O and Devro have all gone down a lot, making me decent profits.
Those of you with bigger portfolios get it worse as it's hard to sell big amounts of
smaller stock - though the upside is you probably made a lot on the way up.
Whatever you do, best of luck - there can't be a right or wrong answer and there
is some luck involved here - we can't guess whether things will get a lot
worse or a lot better, so perhaps there is some fate here.
The other thing perhaps is the quicker this all goes down the faster it is the markets will recover quickly and there will be some amazing bargains.
I am sitting on a cash pile and waiting to buy and I suspect the next update will be packed with buys. If there is a real capitulation it might even worth be buying (maybe small) and just holding, as long as they are good ones.
At least if you have to self isolate you'll have plenty of time to trade.
If you want any tips on self isolation let me know, been self
isolating since the year 2001 !
Right after all that there is only one thing I care about - screw money, time for a tea and a twix.
I mentioned the brilliant Telegraph live business feed before Xmas and how great it is - keeps you up to date with all the business news/bat virus/ company reports, all you need every few minutes. I have it on
all the time in the background.
Some of you - and me - actually got some £25 m and s vouchers for
signing up via my refer a friend link.
So here is your chance to sign up AND get a £25 m and
S voucher. The year's sub is not much and worth it just
for the business feed. You'll find it right away.

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.
