Thanks very much for your feedback to the NT Radio show 4. Glad you
enjoyed it! If you haven't heard it yet it is here:

Great to meet some of you virtually last week - some great questions and "craic" in the chat room!
Some nice trade ideas also came up live but some very messy shelves from many of you plus one Rangers scarf. (It must be annoying always
coming second to Celtic). (Although not as annoying as being a Fulham
fan, we could be the first ever team to get no points at all).
Thanks for all your lovely feedback. It was initially hard to do Zoom ones instead
of at hotels and actually meeting people but I have got used to it.
I was hoping they had the same value as hotel ones and judged by feedback
they have. Selfishly they are great for me, I enjoy the banter and I find trades I wouldn't have got on my own.
Jas, thanks for your mail as you've been to two zoom seminars.
Just wanted to say thank you for a couple of wonderful seminars.
Your seminars were brilliant. Delivered methodically and with just a simple honest approach to dealing with the markets. You've helped me immensely in sorting my trading plan out and finding a good and profitable way to trade. After many months trying to figure out level 2, you sorted that out in one afternoon.
Since the seminar, I have placed 5 trades, 2 have closed out with profits and 3 are still running with profits. All trades placed using fundamental research and not Youtube videos"
Thanks Jas. See some of you next week for the follow up seminar
I hope we get some great trade ideas - sending
you homework tomorrow.
If you have been to a seminar of mine before either at the hotel or on zoom then you are welcome! See above for details. And of course you can book the first seminar I'll be doing after my recovery on Nov 25th. Details above.
I am kind of dreading it on Oct 14th as hospital isn't exactly where I want to be at least I am getting fixed.
Yesterday I went for a health assessment to see if I am healthy enough for it.
I seemed to pass though await for blood tests. The nurses were brilliant and we had such a great laugh especially when we tried to go "zen" to get me a low blood pressure score.
I get a covid 19 test three days before the op and then I have to self isolate till the op.
That is going to be weird.
After the op a lot of rules. No bath for three months! I love baths and so will miss them a lot.
And no sex for eight weeks! Hmm, for that I'll just have to find a way to work around that.. somehow...
While I'm recovering the Mrs will be in charge of emails and will send you seminar details or anything else she can answer. She has worked with me
on seminars for years and knows answers to lots of things - she has also passed finance exams and is a qualified business coach so you can be confident!
Anything she can't, I will answer when I am recovered. She actually
is in charge of emails now anyhow and so I don't get to see any of
the crazy ones anymore as she just bins them!
So I just have to be brave and know how lucky I am to be able to afford to go private.
Ok Robbie, count backwards from ten...." "zzzzz.."
Thanks for all the feedback on the online seminars, latest
from David:
Well it doesn't happen often, but I am absolutely speechless! I don't think I have ever spent a more worthwhile day nor spent money more wisely and gladly.
I for one was practically at the point of orgasm all day in my enjoyment and appreciation of what you were presenting! Even though I have read NT time and again, to see you going through the process of stock assessment over and over was incalculably useful and I managed to take six A4 pages of notes during the day. I was fascinated to learn about (and see) Level 2 in action and learn more about Spread "ËœBetting'.
I thought the presentation balance was perfection, and Elizabeth was a complete star with her very well-judged handling of the questions....
.....This is a rather long-winded way of saying thank you so much to both of you - today was one of the top five most enjoyable days of my life, and I greatly look forward to joining you again!"
Naked Rambling
I realised how we vote for our Prime Ministers.
It has nothing to do with policies or parties.
We end up voting for: who would be fun to go out for
a drink with?
Let me show you how this is so true.
You wouldn't really get much entertainment in the pub from:
Gordon Brown, Teresa May, Iain Duncan Smith,
You would probably from:
Boris J, Tony Blair, Donald Trump. See what I mean?
So assuming the next election in 4 years will be Rishi Sunak Vs Keir Starmer which would you rather go to the pub with?
Whichever you think - that's the winner of the election!
Can you believe the US Presidential debate?
That these two grumpy old gits that are really nothing but giant toddlers are the best two the US can come up with out of 300 million people?
How does this happen? Both are absolutely awful.
I guess though anything is better than Trump?
But if he loses don't expect Trump to go quietly. He'll probably take the nuclear button and threaten to press it unless we let him stay.
The Great British Bake Off (****)
Ok, not something I'd normally watch but the mrs loves it and you can see why.
The effort and determination that went into producing the show is marvellous and a lot of sacrifices in leaving family behind to work in a bubble.
You can tell who Paul Hollywood already fancies. (The youngest female contestant obvs).
US (***)
I have a kind of love-hate thing with this. Collectively the characters are
as annoying as each other. She is probably slightly worse.
The best storyline is more the father-son relationship and why it failed rather than why their marriage failed.
Perhaps there could have been either more fun or more bite, something was missing somewhere.
The Third Day (**)
Blast it. This just kept me watching and now I kind of regret it as it really was a load of old cobblers. I added a star to it as it did keep me watching
somehow though I fast forwarded through the most gruesome parts. There is a whole day live edition coming up. That is crazy!
High Maintenance (*****) Sky Comedy
A hilarious show no-one watches but I love it. A laid back drug dealer visits customers at home and we then get a lovely look at their lives.
Check the superb episode two of the new series with a brilliantly written and performed slice of life for a gay bloke with low esteem and an intimacy coordinator who comes up against someone she really can't work with.
Smashing stuff! It is hard to find but worth the
effort and it you like it there are the first three series to enjoy.
Can't believe Jeremy Corbyn managed nine guests to his party.
If you'd been the seventh what a great way to get out of it.
Drat, sorry Jezza rule of six, sadly I must go home and watch a carabou cup penalty shootout..."

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.

My upcoming operation means it is the first time in 20 years I will be "Out for the count" for a while soon.
What to do? I reckon I will spend the week before the op having a good look at what I have and deciding whether to get rid, or some of. Or not!
Best way probably is pretend never to have seen the share before and decide would I buy it now? If not, why am I holding it? So there's a job for the weekend!
Everyone recovers differently - I might be back in action in days afterwards or it might be weeks. I am hoping for days.
At any rate I feel the shares I choose aren't the sort to really tank so worse comes to worse and am out for longer than I thought I hope it will all be ok.
You'd expect markets to be volatile for the rest of the year as there is allsorts going on.
As well as Covid there is the American election. And with the nutcase that is Trump around who knows what could happen to upset things.
For now after some downturn the markets feel in a bit of a rally mode. But who knows? Keep some cash back!
I've bought some TT Electronics (TTG). A very decent company that appears to be well run.
Shares soared suddenly when it announced a partnership with iAbra to launch a Covid
device.
It sounds exciting if it comes off as it would be
a 20 second non invasive test which could be used
at airports, sports events etc.
The shares then came right back down again after the market though maybe there wasn't much in it.
It seems a great buy point as if there isn't anything in it the shares are probably aren't going to tank but if there is something in it the future there is that potential thrown in for nothing.
Away from that TTG is going well anyhow and just raised £20m for an acquisition that looks decent.
So I rather like this one and have bought quite a few personally. Could be some great upside to come with patience.
Managed to get some shares in TTG live at the seminar - and the trading plan we discussed was to trail a stop around 25p from the price targetting
a ride back up to 270p.
I've made some great profits from Kingfisher (KFG) and they have nearly doubled since I bought them and for the website back in the year.
After recent results I wondered whether to take profits but I liked the results a lot and instead of banking the gains I averaged up and bought more.
Always better to average up than average down!
Kingfisher's results showed the lockdowns actually really boost sales - and on top of that debt has come down an awful lot too.
There seemed little profit taking on results and with
strong results behind it, the shares could easily
hit 350p in time.
Managed to get some new Kingfisher shares live at the zoom seminar. Stop was set at 270p and once it gets to say 320p push stop to breakeven.
I've added more ITV. The shares as they are look decent value despite the advertising downturn.
But the hidden assets here (studios/prog making etc)
have always looked ripe for a bid so I am going
to try and stick with them.
If a bidder comes forward I'd expect a bidding war and a winning bid I think would have to be 120p +.
At the online seminar live added some more Clipper Logistics (CLG) which I discussed in the last
update.
It looks to be in the right area (logistics) at the right time and could have a lot further to run up.
The Times says today there is speculation that buyout funds are casting their eye over Clipper and there is bid chatter.
Of course take that with a pinch of salt but it is possible - it delivers for John Lewis, Asos and others so that could interest a rival.
If you fancy seeing me executing live trades and more I've set a date for the next online seminar for Nov 25th to give me plenty of time to recover from the operation. For details and costs mail me at robbiethetrader
The likely continued market volatility this year should cause spreadbetting firms to thrive so I added some more CMC (CMCX) and I also bought into the
biggest SB company IG Group (IGG).
In the probable event of loads of ups and downs coming up - spreadbet firms thrive on punters betting wildly on the swings - they should all have very decent trading statements later in the year which could push their share prices up.
IG's share price tends to move easier than CMC's which ironically is itself volatile! That's only because the order book is thin so I wait for later in a day
to top up when the spread is narrow and especially if the price has come back, It is not one to buy at 8am!
Plenty of excitement in gambling shares. I saw 888
pushing up so bought some more as there was
a bid for William Hill. This also pushed up my stake in Flutter.
Then this week 888 announced spectacular results. Given this is one of my biggest holdings I was delighted and personally up more than £30,000. Website profits aren't too shabby either.
888 could end up being bid for itself so potentially a ton more upside!
I've shorted Trainline (TRN) - for newcomers that means I have bet on the shares
to come right off the tracks and go down.
I can't for the life of me see how this is valued in the billions. It makes losses, has debt and people simply aren't going to use trains for some time if they
can help it.
My valuation of it is about half of what it is now and even that's generous. Directors have sold whenever they could! It looks like a total stinker. Of course that doesn't mean the shares won't go up and if so I would have to take the loss.
But I just feel it's a matter of time before the market says we valued this at HOW MUCH !!
btw for shorts, spreadbets I use spreadco a lot and given National Savings has
axed the 1pc it was paying spreadco confirmed it will carry on paying 2pc
interest monthly on free cash in their accounts up to 20k. I enjoy getting
that interest every month.
Also an easy to use site for beginners -
That link puts you with the lovely Akeel. It allows you to buy or short shares of the top 250 -350 odd shares or so. FTSE spread is a very thin 0.8.
I took profits on Mondi. I didn't expect it to rise
so fast and go way past target so quickly so have
banked well over £500 on it.
My fat finger trade on Avon Rubber live at the zoom seminar continues to pay off!
Ok that's it from me till my operation is done and have completed some recovery time.
Hoping recovering will be quick but at this stage have no idea! I'm aiming to re-start
updates in November as early as I can and when I have a definite idea of when
feeling up to it I'll put a comeback date at the top of the diary section of the site.
See you on the other side !

from SB account to ISA)

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.
