Brilliant to see so many of you live at the hotel last week.

I was worried about doing an in person hotel event for the first time since covid hit.

Would the computer work, what about the projector?

Would I remember how to use the mike?

I was reminded by the hotel to remember to switch it off during the breaks.

Apparently one unfortunate host had left it on and broadcast what could only be described as a "noisy number 2" to the laughter and perhaps horror of the audience.

What would the people be like, you just never know. Any alpha male hecklers?

I was lucky, what an absolutely lovely bunch of people. And everything pretty much worked.

It was so odd heading back to the hotel after three years.

I remembered the last one so well as fears of covid were hitting and everyone was worried.

This time no such worries, everyone was happy to be back.

I love that's it all ages, races, places, all sorts of jobs. Everyone gets along.

It was lovely to hear the buzz of chat over lunch, the breaks and the bar.

Indeed after the last break it was hard to get people to be quiet so I could carry on!

There were loads of you who'd been to previous events over the years as far back as 2008 in one case, and a few from 2010 and suchlike.

Once you are say, over 40, it begins to get hard to meet new people and make friends but the events and the retreats really connect people who have made friends just as myself and Elizabeth have with some of you.

I'd say we now count some people we met at seminars over the years as now some of our best friends which is fantastic.

Anyway there was Gail with her "double bottoms" propping up the bar with her lovely husband Michael.

Poor old Gary is a QPR supporter so all sympathies have to go to him.

But Gary did some brilliant work which I can't tell you about as it's private but you know what you did Gary and well done.

Iain and Kav stood out in the front row, a great friendship there and well done Kav for doing what you did right in front of me! (No not that, honestly what a sick mind you have).

There was lovely Ollie who surprised me with the action he took. Good to see Brian and Akhter who came to retreats.

What can I say about lovely Les our maths teacher. Full of life and fun and some very fun maths tricks too!

Janet and Janice, brilliant to see you both. Hem - wish I'd let you bring your 14-year-old now!

I know some of you already expressed interest in for the NT Xmas party follow up in December and also a lot of interest in the retreats, we will be in touch about the April retreat in Palma next week when we worked out the costs and a price.

I've got a date for the hotel follow up/Xmas party/Xmas rally seminar, it will be December 11th, let me know if you would like details.

One or two interesting ideas came up and some potential "trades to be" if they get to the right price, more down below.

Congrats to the hotel staff who were great all day and produced a lovely lunch.

One member of the bar staff has worked there 30 years and has seen so much, however stories I had better keep to myself!

Thanks for all the lovely feedback, I'll give just one example from many:

Thanks for a great day, I have been to many work related training events and this is the first where time just flew by and was disappointed when it ended, arrangements for the day were spot on.

Seeing Robbie in action was a real eye opener and having a chat with Robbie and Elizabeth in the bar after capped off the day in the best possible way."

A lot of you managed to chat to Elizabeth and she's been doing loads of taster mindset sessions with you on zoom all week.

Glad some of you have booked her services, I really don't think you will regret it judged by feedback she's had.

If you'd like a free trading mindset session mail her at elizabethburns2 her site is

I have man flu/cold.

On Saturday morning my son who was coughing and spluttering said: "Let's go for breakfast at the grumpy guy's cafe."

I was hungry so agreed.

But while there at grumpy cafe I thought "this was a bright idea, I am going to get his cold aren't I."

Yep. Cue Monday, streaming eyes, cough, yes the whole works.

So I am personally feeling a bit grumpy right now! I could have avoided it, still at least I got an eggs benedict.

Maybe it's covid. Kind of hoping it is then at least I can't get it for three months.

Anyway, back to bed with a paracetamol and hoping a boring football podcast will get me to sleep.

And there is always Gordon Brown's book on audible, that should work.

Naked Rambling

I have a big suggestion for any old or new government to get the economy going.

Abolish all "stamp duty" on house buying. That's for main residences only and only for UK buyers.

Overseas buyers would have the duty raised to 20pc.

London property in particular right now is being bought up from abroad as investments and a lot of it is never even lived in.
I googled this: Stamp duty only raises about £10 bln out of £800 bln total tax raise!

It's hardly anything! (Bear in mind these figures were from a while back and are very rough!)

Can you imagine how much more than £10bln lift the economy would get!

Loads of new work for estate agents, repairers, builders, retailers, furniture providers et all.

The housing market is currently dead. There is nothing for sale round here at all.

It is stagnant, no work around for anyone in the industry and people are frozen.

All those wanting to upsize, downsize will now be able to move with no tax.

Property market would come to life! The Government might even get much more tax
through lots of these sales, vat etc. Indeed I bet it does, imagine all the extra vat.

So I say: Abolish it for UK buyers main house only. Doesn't this make sense? Surely it does, and I believe a winning policy for those that dare to do it with a massive boost to the economy.

At this point I should add I am no economist and I could be talking total balls.

Which may well be likely. Actually, just ignore me, it's for the best.

I was in the queue for the posh butcher in Barnes (No change from £20 for a chicken) when I heard a discussion between two bankers.

I just make my own lunch for the office now," said one.

Me too, Pret is just way too expensive now, you can make their sandwiches at home for half the price."

They went on to slag off Pret. If you own any shares in Pret get out!

Best place to buy food is find a good independent and support them.

We always try and give our business to independent restaurants and shops.

In Spain, there are very few chains, most are independent restaurants and shops, so good to see.

If you eat at a chain it's probably owned by a hedge fund which just wants to cut costs.

You can see that at Gail's which was bought by a fund. Service and quality of food has slumped and the local branch here gets terrible reviews.

Wagamama, part of the Restaurant Group has just been bought out.

Expect things to deteriorate there!

The only chain which seems to offer very good food at decent prices is Brasserie Blanc.

Our local at Fulham Reach is excellent. Never once had a bad dish!

Try the lamb roulade and then the pistachio souffle. Just £27 for both. Sign up to the email and you'll often get discounts, there's a £25 off food for the next couple of weeks.

The only downside is refusal to take cash so it appears strangely they don't seem to mind the tips in cash!

Talking cash, would you believe it, Gen Z ers are going back to using cash, and what a great thing that is.

They've realised it's easier to save and spend less if you take out cash once week and use that.

Contactless cards have meant way more debt for youngsters.

Cash stuffing" is a new Tik Tok craze - Gen Z's are starting to file away cash in different coloured envelopes rather than relying on current accounts and contactless.

One stuffing leader on Tik Tok organises her savings in various wallets with labels like "monthly money" "Petrol", "Window cleaning" and "food".

She says " having physical cash means I know what my budget is and I do not overspend".

Since starting cash stuffing I have saved more money than I ever did with the bank account."

She divides the money between essential spending before putting cash aside for social and weekend spending.

Any surplus money from previous months goes in a high interest account.

Hey this is such good news!

I hope the new Labour Government immediately makes a law that all retailers should take cash up to £200.

Disappointing interview from (most likely) our next PM on the BBC.

He has obviously been told to start every sentence with "I am very confident that...."

He's just decided to keep his head down, not mention any real policies and waffle his way to number ten.

Trouble is the questions weren't answered and evaded. Things aren't going to improve anytime soon. I'm confident about that.

Driverless cars are running into problems.

Mainly they're running people down then sitting on them and killing a dog or three.

Hurrah! Let's ban the bastards!

(Remember I said this in ten years when you are in a driverless car adhering strictly to the then 10mph limit).

The Reckoning *** BBC1
Steve Coogan is brilliant as the monster Jimmy Savile but why was this on the bbc?

Although an ITV production the BBC gets off way too lightly, where was the shelved Newsnight show or the louis Theroux interview?

Murder in The Building *** Disney
Cutesy whimsical comedy starring Steve Martin as a detective trio try to solve murders in their apartment building.

It has a "watch with your gran at Xmas" type of vibe.

Billions *** Atlantic
After a pretty awful previous series this final series perks up as it's time to wave goodbye to our billionaires at war series.

The return of Axe is a big help and all combine to try and keep Prince's hands off the nuke button.

The Burial **** Amazon
Terrific new movie on Prime set in the 90s a gentle true legal drama as a top lawyer champions a small company against a large one.

Nice twists and turns and great performances, amazing to realise it's all true!

Big Brother * ITV 2
ITV is obviously stuck for new ideas to have to drag this hoary old chestnut up.

I had a quick look out of curiosity but it's as if the last few years haven't happened.

The first few series were great but now contestants are just too aware. Someone there come up with something new!

The Ex Wife *** Ch 5
You know it's Ch5 and therefore it will be sh1t. The actors know it, the writers know it, but you just can't quite help it.

Cliche after cliche of things that wouldn't happen to not quite real people who do not quite real things in not quite real houses with not quite real cliffhangers before very real multi ad breaks.

Standard amazing TV houses. Beautiful worktops and no clutter. How do they do it?

Big problem: the mrs is eyeing up the worktop and it looks expensive.

Goldman Sachs chief is to stop DJing in public after backlash.

I'm not surprised.

The last three he played were "Agadoo", "The Birdie song" and "Shuttup you face".

An airline chief has been criticised for having a shirtless massage during a meeting.

He said things really took off after he was offered a "happy ending".

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.

A fascinating seminar at the hotel, I learn so much every time from reading answers to my questions and chatting you all.

I've put out a few shout outs further up the page especially to those of you in the bar... right come on, who's still got my credit card and spending on it. Gail???

The bar bill wasn't too bad to be fair.

Many years ago I ran a seminar in Ireland. I announced a free bar.

2,608 pints of Guinness later I lost a packet on the event. Not been back since.

Look forwards to seeing some of you I saw on Friday for the NT Xmas party/follow up/xmas rally seminar on Dec 11th, same hotel, mail me for details!

The same two themes that have been emerging for some time from the seminars and the retreats.

What seems to be happening is first off buying shares because an online guru bought it or suggested it doing little of your own research. Or a tip sheet. Or twitter or a mate down the pub.

Said shares are then held onto because said guru/mate buys more or says the falls aren't right and to keep the faith.

There were about 6 of these gurus mentioned in the questionnaires I sent out, I hadn't heard of 4 of them.

Btw I'm not exempt from this - you could have bought Spirent because you followed me last time and been 25% down in just a couple of days.

Yet again some of the sums lost on following the gurus and not selling were enormous.

Once these big losses on paper are sitting there, it becomes impossible to take the loss because crystallising the big loss really hurts.

But the day after you take that loss? I bet you feel good!

Big losses were from following others into shares like the ones that came up the most including Asos, Boo Hoo, Watches of Switzerland, Quiz and loads of smaller shares, oh and that cannabis share David Beckham was involved in!

I was thrilled on the day. One even cut all the terrible crap he had bought in front of me. Several others cut their losses too.

Some won't though because it is the toughest thing to do.

In fact here is my challenge to you. Go through your portfolio, look for anything losing more than 35pc. Get rid. Don't even look at what it is.

You can't can you? Not possible. They might come back up!

Cutting emotional attachments to shares is tough as well, especially if you've held something for a long time.

The gurus aren't to blame - look in the mirror. You make the decision, and from now on have an exit plan.

I suggest doing your own work and stop following gurus and that includes me.

Screen for shares instead and ignore other people's views.

Lots of examples of how to do this in the new book link here:
>
We chatted about Get Out Quicks at the seminar and there's stuff in the new book on those versus stop losses.

GOQ's are best used if you're buying a share that has been falling for a while but you think you may have found the bottom.

A great example is Spirent which I bought on a Friday, seduced by a big cash pile and a pe which had sunk to under 10. Probably a great entry point thought I, smugly. I do good smug.

How wrong I was. This turned out to be a huge mistake. But at the online seminar we'd set a GOQ which would be activated should the shares continue to tumble.

On Monday that's what they did and tumbled more quite quickly and with level 2 showing loads of sells the GOQ was activated and a loss taken.

Just as well, as on Tuesday there was a profits warning and the shares fell 25%.

So moral of the story? Use a GOQ on any shares you're buying that have been falling and you think you are buying at the bottom or on support. Some examples in my new book and in the last Naked Trader book.

GOQ's are also useful generally in rocky markets like the one we are going through now.

When shares generally are tumbling why leave yourself open to massive losses?

For now, I'd suggest exit fast if the entry point is obviously wrong or a trading range breaks down.

Currently markets are in a state with worries about a mid-east war, inflation, you name it, it is worrying.

Of course by the time of my next update everything may be rosy again.

That's one thing to point out: if you're in markets you have to keep an eye on them.

Some weeks/days nothing I need to do, not so this week..

I've had to go into some cash and take out some short positions to cover in case things get worse.

More in a min.

Any buys right now have to be carefully considered, after all if everything goes down no point even buying something good for now.

Let's look at some buys then some shorts then some sells shall we, children?

Notice how good I am at being patronising? Can't help it, runs in the family.

A buy or two I made in the last few days were quickly taken out by GOQ's, one example was Macfarlane which I got at the sell price on DMA but that started to weaken and GOQ took me out.

One that hasn't so far retreated is quality company Cerillion which came on screens at the seminar.
Cerillion seems a brilliantly run company but got hit recently as shares in part of its sector reported troubles.

But not so here and as we discussed at the seminar the recent share price falls could be a chance to buy on weakness.

So I was quite pleased to be able to buy some after some falls.

It is top quality and the statement contained what we investors love "ahead of expectations".

The software solutions outfit even said "meaningfully" above. Net cash rose to from £20 to £24m.

Even after previous falls it isn't cheap but sometimes you have to pay for quality.

Trading plan? Well support is very strong at 1000p. I guess if it fell meaningfully into the 900s I'd be out.
Advanced Medical Solutions came up on a few screens.

I have bought some, and surprisingly they have not been GOQ's stopped out (yet!)

This tissue re-generating specialist ran into bother earlier this year but the recent statement gave cause for lots of optimism.

It has a massive cash pile of £60m and it's making acquisitions.

Things that went wrong are being put right and if the management aren't leading me up the garden path then it starts to look value taking the big pile of cash into account.

Fairly easy trade to manage, lots of support at 170-180 but if it falls below 160 then I'm out.

Tricky stop placing at it can open at a 10 point spread at 8am (see 8am stop out horror in Naked Trader).

Avon Protection came up on a momentum screen at the seminar.

Shares are rising from the dead after it said orders for its helmets were very strong.

Net debt is also coming down fast and due to come down some more.

I made and lost a few quid on these over the years - I remember it made a duff load of helmets a while back.

Given the shares are down so massively, it looks like they are currently being re-rated upwards.

Avon shares are also showing strength against a crap market so it seems a worthwhile trade idea.

Anyway I have taken the plunge and bought some Avon despite the weak overall market.

We had a long debate on the future of Asos at the seminar.

There are bull scenarios: Mike Ashley/ Fraser Group buys more shares or makes a bid or there is a plan in place etc for a turnaround.

But I just look at the cold hard figures and it still looks overvalued.

I'm short but you do need a guaranteed stop if you can get one just in case of a bid blowing up a short.

Mike Ashley has balls of steel. He lost £300 million spreadbetting HBOS shares!

Give Boo and Sosander in the same area have all put out dismal statements, I can imagine Asos following suit.

Also shorted Spirax-Sarco, a company that seems to be running into bad times with its shares slumping most days.

Even with the shorts winning here, it still looks a bit overvalued and if it really carries on falling could get axed from the FTSE 100 though it would have to fall a lot for that to happen.

Not that it's a bad company, but this industrial engineer carries a lot of debt and uses a lot of gearing.

Tricky to short as it can move 200 pts in a day so stops have to be placed some distance.

It doesn't seem worthy of an f pe of over 20.

I'm in a hefty profit at the mo indeed so hefty I did just topslice some.

Property is in poor shape, inflation is eating away at it and I noticed a statement from Bellway which on the face of it looked ok but lots of warning shots in the outlook.

So many warning shots that I've taken out a short in it.

I'm really poor at understanding these types of companies and valuating them but when you get this type of warning chances are the share will go down for a bit.

Another tricky one for a stop as it can move 100pts in a day so a short carries risk, well of course all of them do.

Quite a lot of trades have been stopped, trailing stopped or GOQ'd.

As mentioned above my duff trade in Spirent went for a loss of £97 after hitting the GOQ.

Similar story with Key, loss of £24. Iomart looked to have gone as high as it can for the time being so banked profits of £452.

Marks came out with a surprisingly disappointing statement and shares were sold for a £51 loss.

They didn't go down at all on the day which was odd, they went down the day after, strange.

Some aspects are going well but not enough to justify the rating though they might be buyable again at a cheaper price soon.

Beeks short went for a loss of £210. The Halma short yielded a nice profit of £3,095.

Part of Mgns went for a profit of £859. Fsg went for breakeven after it hit a trailing stop. OMG hit a stop and lost £220.
I'm wary of the current market and am doing some hedging using a FTSE and DOW short spreadbets and the ETF's (details in the new book).

I also have some spreadbet shorts in the Nasdaq, Ftse and Dax. Going well right now and all stops into profit which is a relief so no damage done if the market re-bounds.

If you want some ideas of what to do in a sudden market downturn, see the strategy in my new book which details what to do.

If you're thinking "why did I get into bastard fecking shares" put it into perspective.

Downturns don't usually last too long, you can get out and wait, you can go short, there are options.

You could maybe decide to stick with your good ones, pick up some divis, hide behind the sofa and wait for it to all come back.

There is no right answer, it is whatever suits your personality or lifestyle.

And the upside? Well there are tons of bargains out there!

If you feel mentally bad or struggling with life/trading balances book a free taster with Elizabeth, she is expert at helping on that side of things and she helping loads right now.

Money will be made again and if markets continue south we could be setting up for a monster Xmas rally!

Talking Xmas rally 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.

That is going to be great for the Xmas rally bet but it's also good for a short in this dire market and been using it for that too with shorts on the FTSE Dax and Nasdaq at tight spreads.

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.

It's also very easy on the eye and very easy to use.

I've been using it for a while without mentioning it because I don't want to pass on a duff site to you.

But I have run into no problems with it at all. Overnight charges are competitive too.

It won't do spreads in everything and definitely not smallcaps.

Here's the link if you want to sign up, on this link the lovely Lorenzo will help out if you run into trouble or make a fat finger trade.

Let me know if you run into any problems with it but seems a no brainer for the Xmas rally or a short.

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.

It's fascinating, some of the conclusions are scary and it's good to try and understand it, though in the end he concludes AI will being a lot of benefits. It will also drive some shares down and some up.

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.
