What is it about long holidays far away?

Since I've been back from Sri Lanka I feel I have been operating a new policy.

"Put off till tomorrow what I can't be arsed to do today."

No more! I am back into action!

Be seeing some of you next Friday at the hotel. THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT

I have to say I was really surprised so many of you wanted to do a hotel one, I was certain there wouldn't be enough interest as everything seems to be online these days.

In fact right now it's close to sell out with only a couple of seats left available which really is a big surprise.

After this, I will consider doing one or two more every year, we'll see.

There is nothing like seeing people in real life and communicating properly.

Those of you coming we have a lovely lunch, lots of snacks, Yorkshire tea, water and you can join me in the bar after and see if you can prise the wallet open for a drink.

Just gotta make sure Gail doesn't get hold of my credit card this time"¦

Please give your car registration before you leave to ensure free parking.

I have seen more than half of you before, plus one or two who came on the retreats and look forward to catching up with everyone.

Those of you new, just relax and enjoy the day and feel free to pick the brains of the experienced!

The experienced are welcome to take part in the £100 comp for the best trade idea voted for on the day.

I also have the top geek from Sharescope who'll be there and he'll do a presentation and also we'll look at some new ideas for share screening and he'll show you bits of sharescope you may not have used that could help your investments.

Anyway see you all from 10am, let's have a great day and hopefully find one of two great trades.

Don't worry if you are delayed and running late, Elizabeth will be keeping an eye out for you and will direct you to a seat.

Our son's bedroom is in the process of a makeover now he's left home to make his fortune in Dubai.

The last of the Fulham FC on tour stickers have been scraped off along with something bad about Brentford fans.

Looking at the new room from Dubai on video he doesn't seem to mind, and we kept all his football trophies and stuff in a box. And like Toy Story 4, all the toys have gone.
Although we're not parents that feel tearful about it.

Your kids have to move on. We've done the parenting now it's time to partyyyyyyy!

Whoa! Get Sabrina Carpenter on!

It's being turned into a "guest room". Which involves a lot of effort, though not from me of course.

After all, I have important trading to do, right?

And anyway I'm terrible at real work. Not that I ever tried it.

But I have just finished experiencing the week from hell.

"Working from home" when you have real workers rather than "chancers" like me is tricky.

We had painters, carpet cleaners, glaziers, fitters, you name it they were all here.

They all have super skills which I could never master due to my poor attention span and general clumsiness. And I can't be arsed to learn either.

I would like to be able to paint but the art teacher at school commented "Robbie is the most backward pupil I have ever taught." Totally fair comment.

I tried hard not to be resentful or jealous about the vast invoices I had to pay for their services.

The last day was frantic and built to a climax with our cleaner getting upset that the painters had used "her" (it's ours) Henry vacuum cleaner without changing the bag.

"You have ruined my Henry!" she shouted up the stairs. "Do you not know how to treat them?"

"They need to be looked after!" she added.

(I suspect she was in a bad mood after the state I'd left the kitchen in after an attempt to cook).

"I didn't realise it was YOUR vacuum cleaner!" one of the painters shouted spiritedly down the stairs. (Yeah good for him!)

Being a coward and not great at confrontations, I hid and pretended this wasn't happening.

The argument settled down though the cleaner did bang the vacuum around quite noisily.

There was a buzz of irritation around the house. Painters annoyed at cleaners. Carpet cleaner annoyed he couldn't get the cat sick off the carpet.

Glaziers annoyed they only got offered a tea or coffee once. (If you offer it more than once you'll end up doing it all day)

Cats annoyed there were so many wanky humans knocking about making noises.

To get out of all the angst I did spend quite a lot of time at the local grumpy French cafe till he threw me out.

But then I discovered Brasserie Blanc's very nice lunch set menu at under £20.

If you go for the set lunch, have the chicken ballotine. Fantastique! I left them a nice review.

Over 2 weeks we had different real work people,( look workmen, they were all blokes alright) working in the room and you never know what kind of music they will be playing.

Whoever you hire there will always be music and it's always loud and you don't feel you can ask them to turn it off as you don't want to upset them.

I nearly did the "Neighbours have complained" but chickened out knowing they knew it was me really.

The first lot were my favourite, there was some decent house and dance music which I enjoyed. Especially DOD.

And they supported Fulham FC so we could discuss fascinating topics like "Raul or Muniz to start"? "Should we sell Robinson?" I am top notch at footie chit chat.

The second lot had "Greatest Hits Radio" on which meant the same 5 old hits repeated every hour which seemed to be mostly The Police, Blondie, Stevie Wonder and the Carpenters.

The same tracks endlessly. I groaned at "Total Eclipse of the heart" as I know Bonnie Tyler whines like mad for nearly 6 minutes.

Between those 5 songs "Ken Bruce" does a pop quiz.

An amazing man who can talk drivel seemingly for hours.

"Question one then Phillip.

Who had a hit with "Video Killed The Radio Star?"

"That'll be Buggles, Ken."

"Right you are, 3 points for you."

"Who sang about a total eclipse of the heart?"

"One of my favourites, Ken. Bonnie Tyler".

"Well done Phillip. Six points!"

Why isn't it just one point? No idea.

"Tell me about the family"¦"

No, please don't actually.

"Any hobbies now you're retired?" is another line.

"I do like pottering around the garden Ken."

What's worse is he allows "Shoutouts".

This is a minute when the contestants can name all their friends.

"Hi to mum and Brenda, everyone at the Dog and Feathers, my cat Nipple, dog Romeo"¦."

We're not interested. Please make it stop. It did eventually until"¦.

The third visitors were the worst.

Started off with some country music which was bearable and then there was a very promising Jump Around from House of Pain which is decent all right.

But it didn't last.

Before long it was "Barbie Girl."

Then Andy Williams. Followed by Robbie Williams ballads.

I was vaguely tempted to say "You are two grown men playing Barbie Girl and Robbie Williams, what went wrong?"

But of course I didn't. Sometimes I wish I had more courage.

On Friday, everyone left. Oh the joy! We celebrated, the cats celebrated, the neighbours celebrated.

"And now here's Kool and The Gang and Celebration," said Ken.

"In a moment Pat will be doing a shoutout to all his friends"¦"

That's the radio unplugged Ken.

Silence is Golden.

(The Tremeloes) (1967).

People keep asking me which broker to use for their new ISA.

I use mainly Interactive Investor and Barclays and IG.

Interactive Investor is my favourite, I also have my SIPP with them.

Easy to use, and stop losses work well, plus cheap charges.

II has sent me a referral link if you want to try it for an ISA or SIPP.

If you add in more than 10k, you get a free year's subscription with them worth quite a few quid and I get £200 into my account.

I did a podcast with Zeus Capital and Nick Searle who is the most lovely chap.

He even posted a lovely handwritten thank you letter afterwards. Sheer class.

You can hear be blabbing on about how I came to be a trader and suchlike.

https://zeuscapital.co.uk/adp-podcast/ scroll down to find the one with me.

Took the credit card tracker with me to Sri Lanka. Used it twice to locate where the cards were!

Do get some credit card style tags they are wonderful and just over £20!

Link to the ones I bought:

Put one in your passport wallet and one in your credit card wallet or purse.

Thank me when inevitably something gets lost.

Thanks for the comment on my show about songs you heard on TV.

Some of you have sent me some songs you liked and heard on TV so it looks like I can do a second one.

It's fun to see what unexpected music you heard and enjoyed.

Looks like from emails Remi Wolfe's "Hello Hello Hello" was a favourite along with the Gustav track.

Lots of people trying side hustles at the moment.

Actually it was side hustles that helped me quit work for good in 2001.

My best was and still is Telecom Plus which trades as Utilities Discount Warehouse.

You can sell energy, sim cards, mobiles, broadband and insurance wfh.

You get commission per customer plus an ongoing commission every time they use
a service for as long as they remain a customer.

No stock needed, all done online. If you're good with people and don't mind a lot of
"no thanks" could work for you.

My young son is doing it and is roaring away with 20 customers already.

You're backed by a billion plus FTSE 250 company and it's rated well by Which Magazine for good deals and excellent customer service.

If you think this could be a good side hustle for you, mail me with "side hustle" at robbiethetrader@aol.com and will send you some info.

Thanks for the feedback from recent events.

Gary:

" The arrangements and agenda were first class, delivered with Elizabeth's charm and efficiency and Robbie's natural charisma. The drill down on all the stock trading ideas
really cemented the knowledge received from the beginners seminar and all
merited the further investigation Robbie and the group undertook.

Having a look at Level 2, DMA and Spreadbetting was very much appreciated.

The day flew by and finished far too soon. I'm convinced I am now a better stock picker and trader as a result of both days with Robbie."

Anne:
My husband and I had a lovely time. We learned so much, the hotel was great and the lunch fantastic. We didn't leave the bar till midnight!

Dave:

"I've been a teacher for the last 30 years and I'm not sure I could have kept a group of pupils so captivated for so long. Humour and in-depth subject knowledge go a long way!

I loved seeing your thought process in deciding which shares to trade and level 2 was also an eye opener."

Phil:

"The seminar was delivered with huge integrity (there was Zero hidden agenda/ulterior motives, it was simple and open with some great laughs thrown in)

As much as I found myself trying to complicate the process and make it more sophisticated in my own tiny brain.

You also took the time to answer "every" question anyone posed. And it was every question. Loads of shares ideas to boot, but more importantly the process to find your own. Brilliant!


Naked Rambling

Well, well. The Swedish government has changed tack on cash.

After ensuring its people stopped using it, the Central Bank has now urged its people to have a week's worth of spending money in cash.

It also strongly advises its people to start using it again and retailers should handle it.

It is fairly obvious why you should have some cash under the bed.

No doubt Putin and his pals are already working on cutting underground cables and how to sabotage us using electronic payments.

They know cutting off our ability to pay for even a couple of days would screw us.

Sweden suggests £500. I suggest at least 2k!

It really also is time cash must be accepted for up to £100.

Some suggest cutting the number of MPs by a half and doubling salaries.

Sounds reasonable as long as they're not allowed to take any other jobs.

Problem is a lot of the new breed of politicians have never done a real day's work.

They've gone from university into politics which just isn't real.

They never had to deal with staff, or customers or tax returns or vat.

Don't be allowed in parliament till you've worked for 10 years in business.

Freebies. That has got to be IT for freebies for politicians.

If you want tickets for Sabrina Carpenter Rachel then buy the tickets yourself!

Same with football for Lord Kier. And all the rest.

How's about a total ban on freebies? No more. Just stop being greedy.

Adolescence ***** Netflix
Superb mini series with Stephen Graham which has won many accolades.

A young teen murders a girl, we see the repercussions and the reasons he did it.

It has deserved unanimous praise with a brilliant script and superb acting, with episode three the standout.

The last episode is a tad disappointing but overall a must view for parents and teens.
Boo and down with Andrew Tate.

The White Lotus ****
The stakes are being upped as the series bubbles up and conclusions will soon be reached.

The incest theme which has been slowly bubbling away has risen to the surface.

The real question is: who is going to kill who with that gun that's floating about?

Protection ** ITV
Promising premise featuring the work of police who look after protected witnesses.

It was billed like a Line of Duty but is nowhere near that standard.

After a promising start it descends into cliche after cliche.

We even get the biggest cliche of all, the dying cop saying "Trust no one!".

It gradually gets worse, I suggest give this a swerve.

Severance ***** Apple
Super finale for this very superior sci fi.

If you've not seen it, have a binge of both series.

This is Ben Stiller's pet project and he really pulled it off.

Plenty of life themes here, probably enough for a PHD.

This City is Ours **** BBC1
Sean Bean plays the UK version of Tony Soprano as the boss of a Liverpool crime family.

Well it's not really in Soprano league but that league but still, there is plenty of family dynamics away from the violence (there is actually very little so far).

It's a decent crime thriller with some added witty humour from time to time. Worth the view.


Book Review ****

I've been laughing non stop reading Ungovernable which is the confessions of the chief whip during the chaotic last months of the last government.

He had to deal with messages like this from an MP;

"I'm stuck in a brothel, run out of money.

I think she might be a KBG agent and wants £500".

Find out how he deals with that!

There are fights, big egos and massive sex scandals.

It's like The Thick of It, and worse but actually true.

Read open-mouthed at the actions of some of the MPs.

Sunak comes over as a nice guy in over his head surrounded by toss pots.

Anyway do get this hilarious account, it really is all priceless!

Apparently shoppers aren't letting go of Xmas and are buying Xmas foods.

Please, do pop over.

I have some "Boxing Day pickle", "Xmas Salted Caramel biscuits", "Traditional Brandy Butter" and lots of similar from unwanted hampers knocking about.

Oh, not forgetting "Xmas Tea" (?) and "continental Xmas coffee" (????) And Fig Jam (!!!)

Bird flu is on the rise.

Do you think male birds sit in the nest moaning about it while female birds just get on with sorting out the nest?

Disgust grows with age to make old men grumpier, says a survey.

I'm never grumpy.

Mind you those young people on their fecking phones all day watching tik tak vids and buying bitcon, none of them want jobs, working from home, they're having a laff. And while I'm thinking about it"¦. (please fill in from here, I can't be bothered).

Someone came to the door asking the mrs if she "wanted her bush trimmed".

She replied: "I am really good at trimming my own bush, but thanks."

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

Note: I get commission from the above but do use all these sites personally and believe they are of huge benefit to investors. I always turn down approaches from those I don't use.


This Site To Your Mailbox

Website to your email PLUS extra trades which do not make it to the website for my pension
and new is coverage of some US shares.

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@aol.com with "email" in the subject line and I will send you details on how to subscribe.


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

Well, not much to say about Rachel from account's statement.

It was all flagged. I think we can say what it does is the groundwork for likely tax rises in the Budget.

It was weird though: if the tories had made all these spending cuts there'd have been outrage.

And did you see Lord Keir touch her on the shoulder for ages? Ugh, patronising!

The statement won't make that much difference to markets as we knew about everything already.

It's Donald from the US that makes the difference and he is ramping up the tariff wars.

This makes for more uncertainty.

However, away from this smaller UK stocks look great value and I'm happy to buy while selling indices as a hedge.

A few interesting trade ideas came up at the seminar.

Many seemed to come up from my dash for cash screen on Sharescope.

With uncertainty in the market if you're buying companies with net cash there is less likelihood of big falls.

First off was Wilmington which I bought live on the day, getting the sell price, saving a few pence on the trade and starting the trade at break even using DMA.

I put the order in and it went through in a couple of hours.

Net cash is over £30m.

Profits were down but because of a one off, revenues are up 16pc and adjusted profit up 39pc.

It describes itself as provider of data, information, education and training services in the global Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) markets

It's in the process of changing from lower profit margin activities to higher margin ones

There are hints it will spend some of its cash on acquisitions and has started a buyback so that should give the shares a nice bottom at 350p.

First target is around 420p where it struggles to get beyond.

My Dash for cash screen also highlighted Morgan Sindall, a share I took profits on earlier this year.

On the day I realised the shares had actually fallen quite a bit since I sold and now looked rather attractive again. So I bought some live.

It's considered one of the top companies in the construction sector.

Main reason for the drop is cited as the subdued housing market.

Its statement this week was very much liked by the market and it looks like there are further rises to come, especially with the new government spending on construction.

TP Icap also came up at the seminar.

A low pe, peg and a fabulous dividend part of the attractions.

The algos also like this - the company has a big cash pile and has launched a new £30m share buyback.

It's hoping to list its Parameta Solutions in the US in Q2 pretty soon, if it can succeed that's a big bonus.

Shares have been in a tight trading range but look right now as if they are about to break out.

Also holding big cash pile are spread betting outfits IG and CMC Markets and we had a good look at those.

Both should benefit from current trading volatility, the more trades they get the bigger the profits.

Both also pay nice dividends.

A close call but I went for IG on the basis that it is just a bit safer being a much bigger company.

Also on the dash for cash screen was Oxford Metrics.

This company has had big cash for some time but doesn't seem to know what to do with it!

But after falling by more than a half the shares do look rather tempting given a big proportion of the market cap is in cash.

Surely it can't be too long before we see some deployment.

Its main sensor market is doing ok so I struggle to see how it can go much lower.

I shorted Diageo the drinks giant (for newbies spreadbet short to make money from downside).

And I've added a bit more FTSE short as a spreadbet and in the ETF for the isa.

I've used TN for both as the spread is so tight (they also pay out daily on shorts)

https://tradenation.com/en-gb/naked-trader/

I've sold Good Energy for just over 285p - the bid was at 290p so no point having to wait for a month for just the 5p extra.

That banks a lovely profit of just under £10,000 for the website and over £150k for me personally.

Defence shares are still rising off the back of more government spending on it.

So a very good market for BAE Systems, Cohort, Qinetic and MS International.

MSI seems to be the lagger as a smaller company, a nice contract win for these shares could see them way higher.

Sharescope has just put out a decent new offer:

£28 a month for first 12 months (a saving of £84 over the 12 months) or £300 for an annual subscription for first year (a saving of £120 compared to a standard monthly).

UK, US, CAN, EU stocks, Funds, ITs, ETFs all included (no add-on fees)

Full time traders seem to be either alcoholics, drug abusers, loners, weirdos, passive-aggressive alpha males, know it alls or just a bit barmy.

And they are all certain of their own brilliance...

Frankly just check any of the discussion forums, all these characters are there..

Spreadbetting

I discovered a SB firm that does just 0.6 on the FTSE and tight spreads on 100 and 250 shares, also handy right now if you are shorting given the such tight spread

Just a 0.6 spread for the FTSE which is fantastic and the best I've found.

Spreads on FTSE 100 and 250 stocks are really tight, I shop around SB sites when I am about to trade for the best spread and this one keeps coming out the best.

I've finished the book on AI - "The Coming Wave".

It's a must read for any investor - I've learned a lot, the writer co-founded Deepmind, one of the world's leading AI cos.

I love companies with decent cash piles and I've developed a screen for shares with cash with Sharepad to go with my new book.

The screen goes with one of my strategies from the new book "Dash for Cash".

The idea is it picks up sensible shares with a cash pile for further examination.

I don't mean it to be "just buy any share on the screen." My idea is it's a start for further research as just because a company has a cash pile doesn't necessarily mean it's a great company.

If you don't have Sharepad you can try a free trial using the link below, if you think it is useful after the trial you get a decent discount on the link and can pay monthly if you want.

Trade tables follow! Trades are current open and recently closed trades. Closed trades feature the closing price and the amount I won or lost. All others are open. Trades get updated a little later than the narrative. Trading costs are ignored, however I also do not add in dividend payments and with the kinds of companies I buy, dividends tend to equal or outweigh costs. Spread rollovers ignored for web purposes. Tables as accurate as poss however a mistake or two can creep in and very occasionally if I forgot I sold or bought something it will be added at a later time. Trades first reported in the diary under Markets every other Thursday afternoon.
