Great to spend time with some of you online last week. A lot of total beginners this time so we took it slowly.
I like it, it's great to get back to basics and reminds me how much people try and complicate share trading.
Keep it simple: that always works.
If you missed it, next online is March 22nd. And....
I've been getting a few mails about doing another hotel seminar.
Frankly I'm a bit lazy about these.
I do love doing them, it's great to meet people have some banter and a drink after.
But it's all the admin of these, bookings, dealing with the hotel, travelling. setting up, making sure mikes and the screen all work, the food is there and all that I'm lazy about.
But Elizabeth has persuaded me so I fixed April 19th with the hotel just off the M4 near Heathrow.
So as a beginner or improver you are welcome along and I might even buy you a drink afterwards. There's a three course lunch, loads of snacks all day and lots of Yorkshire Tea. And lots of bad sugary things too.
I doubt I'll be doing any more hotel ones till December so if you want to catch me in person this is the one!
For details email me at robbiethetrader with "hotel seminar".
Maybe see you online or in person soon.
ok time for the second and (phew) last instalment from the trip to India.
Friends left behind in Mumbai it was off to Udaipur, a smaller town north of Mumbai.
This involved a short internal flight. To board there is a men's queue and a ladies queue.
Which meant Elizabeth got on the flight way before me and I had to stand with the men and frankly I had to breathe through my mouth due to the foul BO.
Arriving inside the plane I sat down but thinking "something is missing".
Elizabeth said "Where's your jacket?"
Arrgggh, I had left it behind. With £500 emergency cash in it!!
I didn't think and dashed out of the plane back towards the waiting zone ignoring various waving security guys.
I felt a bit like James Bond fighting his way through the baddies.
Would you believe it? The jacket was still there, with cash intact!
However I needed to get back on the plane pronto. But two security staff were on me and not happy.
I used my "Hugh Grant" hapless brit abroad routine which got me off a parking ticket in the US once.
Oh gosh so sorry old bean, I didn't realise old chap..." etc.
This worked and they allowed me to dash back to the plane.
After all that, there'd never been a need for me to dash. The plane was stuck there for an hour waiting for a takeoff slot.
Neatly avoided the plane food (Delhi Belly anyone?) and
arrived in Udaipur with no further mishaps at this amazing hotel, The Raas which sits on top of a hill in a village.
The hotel promises it washes food in filtered water and it was nice to be able to eat cold food without the threat of Delhi Belly.
It's a bit like staying in a castle that would be in Game of Thrones. (Without the high chance of getting killed).
Lots of hidden rooms, staircases and whatnot. Our room was a huge suite.
Dinner was in one of the many courtyards lit with loads of candles. Very nice though in our bit there was a grumpy Brit couple moaning away.
The guy was obviously mega wealthy but mega miserable with it. Too much money his problem.
The people in the Indian villages were way happier with little money.
Actually have you ever met anyone really rich who isn't a grumpy bastard?
Next day was a big one for the locals as a day of the opening of a new temple in India.
Its newest and largest for a resurgence in Hinduism heralded by top cheese Narendra Modi as the start of a new era for his country.
The Ram temple was to have a ceremony as an awakening of an idol of the youthful deity Rama.
It's a big event there, lots of orange flags fluttering everywhere.
We went out in the car for a tour around the villages full of excited locals celebrating the new temple.
Loads of dancing, music and colour and life a world away from the dour over regulated roads of London.
We did lots of waving and tried to join in, and wonderful to see all the vibrancy and excitement.
We walked though one of the villages and bought some stuff. They all seem happy there, a lot of the village is employed by our hotel and others and they aren't desperate or have any need to beg.
It's quite fun being the "fishes out of water" and getting stared at. But they are so welcoming, a lot of greetings and some questions.
There were a few other trips around and about including on bikes.
The Raas has a lovely pool although I was the only one that seemed to want a swim.
As with most top-line Indian hotels, so many staff are employed which is great.
I'm very independent and don't like overt fussiness but I also understand why.
You can't move far without being asked if you were ok and what could they do for you.
Soon it was time to leave the lovely Raas Game of Thrones hotel for a hotel nearer the centre of Udaipur, Udaivilas.
Before arriving there we took a tour of some main areas with a new guide, Kemal.
Kemal has it sussed. We figured he had affiliate deals with lots of locals and this was confirmed on visiting one shop where we enquired "Big discount with Kemal"?
Oh no," said the owner. "You pay more with Kemal".
How much is Kemal's cut?" I asked. "20 per cent?"
The owner dodged it. "Some chai tea?" he asked.
(No thanks. It's Yorkshire or nothing).
We ended up at a carpet shop (probably owned by a relative of Kemal) as Elizabeth did want to buy a rug.
I groaned as they welcomed us, how long would I have to stand there as I have no interest at all in any shopping of any kind.
They whisked Elizabeth away, realised quickly I wasn't going to buy anything though I took an interest in a chess set.
After they decided I didn't want to buy anything they cleverly asked if I wanted a game of chess.
A good move, thus keeping Elizabeth there. Without something for me to do, likely Elizabeth might have to leave without a purchase.
The 25-year-old owner's son and me battled it out. I wondered if he'd let me win to keep me there.
But he seemed to be fighting hard, slightly taken aback by my aggressive sacrifices.
I prefer this way of playing than a "Bore draw".
Got the first one but the second game was a good battle, with two silly mistakes by both sides but I got there.
Kemal watched and came up with some terrible move ideas, though he was also hoping Elizabeth would buy a very expensive rug for his commission purposes.
Anyhow Eliz got the rug which was about a grand but apparently more than half price what it would be in the UK even with shipping and Kemal's commission.
After that off to check in at the next hotel, the Udaivilas. Blimey. Pure luxury, a massive room, walk to the back which opens up onto the pool area. Very colonial style. Google it if you want to see some pics.
We had a red button where we could call a butler! We didn't use it, and no idea what a butler would do.
Next was a long day of exploring the area. Best bit was hair raising (if you have any) rides in the tuk tuks.
Roller coaster rides trying to avoid pedestrians other tuk tuks, goats, cows and dogs.
Watched some crisps being made fresh, cut right from the potatoes, into the frier, into your hand. Delicious.
Tried other street food. You can usually avoid a bad belly by only eating freshly cooked hot food.
Then off to another of Kemal's special shops. Nearly all shops seem to have a picture of the owner with Judi Dench.
Judi was there a lot filming the Marigold Hotel movie a few years back and seems to have got everywhere.
Indeed as we looked out over a lake, we got approached by a scamster who chatted us up with tales of his tailoring services for many famous people.
He whipped out his phone to show how he'd made clothes for.. yes a pic with him and Judi Dench.
If Judi was on Kemal's commission she'd be making a packet.
A lovely boat tour of the lake as the sun set ended a packed day.
Next day time to leave Udaipur for the final leg to Delhi and an internal one hour flight.
Delhi was a whole different ballgame. It was cold and very smoggy so a bit of a surprise.
This city is very different, much more modern with wider roads, less beeping and more European.
We only had the night there in preparation for the flight back to the UK.
In the morning it was off to Delhi airport where unlike at Heathrow people were helpful, bags loaded onto carousels for you, no such thing as "self service".
Got chatting to the bag handler. "From UK?" he said.
And yes of course, he got out his phone and proudly presented a photo of him with.... did you guess? Judi Dench.
BA Biz class was fine on the way back, food was pretty good, and no issues.
That's got to be enough about someone's holiday you don't know.
If you are thinking of going somewhere like India, do it!
Happy to help in the future if you're thinking of a first visit there, just mail with any questions.
In the meantime, would you like to see a pic of me with Judi Dench?
Thanks for all the lovely feedback from the last seminar.
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
It's still a bit weird being back in the UK.
Getting used to the rain and wind and quite honestly, the miserable people compared to the smiles in India.
A feeling in the UK that no-one can be arsed to do anything.
While in India people are working hard to make something of themselves.
Indeed the boss of Indian firm Apollo Tyres has built factories in lots of countries but not the UK.
He said "British workers hardly work, they go to the pub."
Maybe a bit harsh but we know what he means. He says there is no incentive to bring sites to the UK.
Apparently there could be a shortage of tea on the way.
I was never bothered about toilet roll shortages given I have some back copies of the Investors Chronicle.
But tea! We can't do without tea! No Yorkshire Gold?
One should never go so low as to panic buy.
And of course I won't.
Be back in a few minutes... I have to make a quick dash to Tescos... and
then Sainsburys.... to buy some.. er.. tomatoes.
Saltburn **** Netflix
The movie which put "Murder on The Dancefloor" back in the top ten.
That's at the end when the nude lead dances around to it with his willie flapping about all over the shop.
It's very silly but entertaining up to about the last half hour when it gets a bit "none of this could ever have
happened in real life".
Still worth a view, if you don't want to see a flapping willie, ignore the last ten minutes.
(Or if you want to see one just watch the last ten minutes).
One Day ***
Yet another adaptation version of David Nicholls iconic best selling book.
It's not bad as it takes us through 20 years of an on/off couple's life and there is a decent music soundtrack
through the late 80s and the 90s and into the naughties.
The problem is there isn't any chemistry at all between the two leads, even though they are both super actors.
if you take that aside, worth a few and the episodes are short.
Nice bits from the 90s like ladettes on TV.
Ah, the 90' were great. No phones, people talked to each other and there weren't any dating apps.
A good scene in a 90s park where without phones folks actually just sat in the park watching the world go by.
Anyone remember frisbees?
Robbie, shut up you old bastard, go and look up some shares on the phone.
Curb Your Enthusiasm ***** Sky Comedy
Larry is back with the last ever series and boy will we miss it!
A cracking first two episodes, it looks like it will end on a high.
And quite a cliffhanger, will Larry end up in jail?
The show probably is marmite, you get it or not, and if you do, it's sad it's going.
Mr and Mrs Smith **** Amazon
This one got better and better, having seen it all I would definitely recommend.
A lot better than the movie, there's a lot of fun here, some sharp lines too.
John Lewis has started selling sex toys. JOHN LEWIS!!! What has the world come to? (as it were)
Oh darling while you're at John Lewis could you get me a big bunny and we'll see if we can find your g spot after dinner.."
Reports there have been "lewd" behaviour in the sauna of a very posh health club near me.
One suspects an old boy got his gnarled old chap out. Just put it away, dear boy, no-one is interested.

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
Lots of knee jerking this week.
Inflation figures weren't as good in the US as expected so there was a big sell off.
Then, they decided it wasn't so bad.
Better news here yesterday with the UK markets happy that inflation may be coming down quicker than thought.
Then today apparently we are in recession! (But the market seems ok with it).
None of this probably matters that much for the mo unless you're a day trader.
(Day traders generally end up selling The Big Issue, just a matter of time).
It's another reminder markets are bonkers which means there is never a "right" answer to questions about shares and markets. We can only guess.
For the moment, markets seem quite benign, though whether this is a calm before a storm or whether there are sunny days ahead and I wish I hadn't started with the weather stuff now.
As usual being a lazy fat cat I wait for the seminars to do my screening work.
We used a few screens at last week's online seminar from Sharepad, Stockopedia and Advfn and my Dash for Cash screen on Sharepad.
We found about 25 ideas and managed to dismiss a fair few, either looked too expensive, too much debt or various other red flags.
We came up with quite a few ideas, but a few of them are more "trades in waiting".
Ie, we found some that looked value but lots of sellers about in them on level 2, and it is usually worth waiting for another day and a better entry price.
When a share comes up on a lot of the good screens it is always worth taking note.
(If you missed this one there is an online seminar on march 22nd or you can come to an in person one at a hotel on April 19th, details elsewhere on the site.)
Bloomsbury came up on quite a few of the screens we looked at during the online seminar last week.
I've held these for some time with nice paper profits and decided to get more after we felt at the seminar it looked good value.
It produces the Harry Potter books and loads of other top sellers.
It has just published the new Sarah Maas book which reached number one globally on Amazon.
(My book is number 11,222 on Amazon, best I ever did was 80 on a day in 2010!)
(I bet she gets more than £1.67 per sale, rats to you Amazon)
I was wondering with others at the seminar whether it might end up a bid target given its amazing library.
We reckoned next month's trading update would be decent and I bought some.
Then yesterday there was an unscheduled "ahead of" bullish update currently pushing up the price.
This seems to be quite simply a great share to stick away in an ISA and forget about for a couple of years with one day perhaps waking up to a swoop from a big publisher, perhaps in the states.
And one where you can probably sleep peacefully at night. It isn't cheap but sometimes you pay for quality.
Reckon it's a "just have it in your portfolio" for any sensible investor. And there aren't many of those about.
Begbies came up on a few screens as well.
I've dealt in this insolvency practitioner before. The market seems to think it is good value
around the 110s and too dear in the late 130s.
So my aim on this one is a medium-term hold for a rise up to the 130s.
Stop is fairly easy on this one as it has very good support at 107-110.
Given the state of the economy you would think this company should be doing pretty well.
I wonder if it becomes insolvent itself it can rescue itself?
I thought it might be a good idea to get a property Reit. (Real Estate Investment Trust).
There are lots about and some are joining forces at the moment.
I bought a smaller one, Palace Capital. .
It pays a lovely dividend of near 7% (one of the main aims of reits).
It holds a diversified selection of commercial property in lots of different areas.
Going to tuck it away in the ISA with a longer-term view.
Severfield showed up on most of the value screens.
Not surprisingly. A very low PE of 6, a low peg and a dividend of 7% plus!
Surprisingly, it's been going down but because of that there could be some value.
It is in a low margin market, structural steel and various services around that like design.
A tricky one as it could be a falling knife but it looks such a bargain I couldn't quite help buying it.
So I did. However. I'm not going to argue with a market and I don't want to be in a falling knife for long if that is what it is.
And, after all, maybe the market seems loads of bad stuff in it I don't and maybe it is right.
On that basis, it's a get out quick scenario should there be much slippage. It's a get out I think if it falls below 50 ish.
I hardly ever buy on a warning but today I was tempted by a massive fall in Genus.
Weak demand on China drove the price down heavily and I picked some up with a fairly
tight stop in case of further falls.
But as I write this mid morning the price is rising back up and I've managed to raise the stop already to break even.
I'm not sure yet how long to hold this for as it is very early days. If it carries on rising maybe I should take profits sooner than later?
I think the best bet is a trailing stop. See how it goes. It is very volatile though.
Longer-term it looks good, and if the China situation sorts itself, maybe a nice rise ahead.
I took a loss of £205 on Midwich which ended up a falling knife, should have used a get out quick instead of a stop.
My stop got missed a bit too so not a great trade!
Vsvs went for a profit of £782.
Good has sold off the last few days. It hit a trailing stop for a profit of £843 on the more recent trade.
However, because I'm a rich lazy fat cat I forgot I couldn't set stops on IG and so I didn't have stops and ended up losing on paper some nice profits as the price came down to where I'd bought it.
Just shows you, don't be lazy like me. From being able to bank a big profit the profit evaporated. I could and should have banked a very big profit. Looks like a very nice price to buy back now at around where the placing took place and considering a fresh buy here.
Still, won't beat up myself too much. I'll blame the trip to India.
The short in Avon Protection paid off quicker than I thought it would, it plummeted pretty fast and I took advantage and bagged a profit of £174.
I got stopped out of the Dax short for a small loss, it keeps going higher despite the doom and gloom re the German economy.
I'm still interested though and looking for a re-entry short there.
The US ETF backing the top US companies is going well, up nearly 10pc.
This is nice exposure to the US market and I've been able to put the stop into breakeven.
The future defence ETF also is going very well.
More amazing moves from Iqgeo and I have now doubled my money on it in quite short order.
Been tempted a few times to take profit but it just keeps on going up so I have set a loose trailing stop to try and ride it up some more. There must be some big buyers out there and it is now my biggest holding.
YU remains very cheap, someone mailed me to say it tends to move round depending what an influential tip sheet does. If that's the case I will just stick with it!
Last time I talked about the Indian economy and why it might be a good idea to get some exposure.
Oh, while I remember at both Mumbai and Delhi airports the Superdry outlets were completely empty, no shoppers at all. No idea why they keep persevering with Superdry at all.
No one buys its clothes except for my friend Radha.
And there was an M and S outlet in Mumbai in a mall. Not a single person in the whole place.
The security guard there said he was rather lonely and there are hardly any sales. M and S must be losing quite a bit keeping it open, surely they ought to close there.
Anyhow the IT I got last time is on the rise, let's see how it goes.
Gail one of my lovely pupils who I'll spending more time with at the retreat in September sent me a screenshot of her spreadbetting account.
The total showed 1.5 TRILLION pounds!
I suggested she withdraws this fast and disappears even faster. Hopefully she will send me the small sum of just a million in commission. See you in September Gail!!

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.
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.

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.

One or two of you asked about how we got our car back after it was stolen, we used apple airtags, hide them in your car or under your bike seat and get your car or bike back, amazing.

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.
