Thanks very much for your feedback to the NT Radio show 4. Glad you

Look forwards as ever to meeting some of you readers online over the next two weeks - some old hands at the follow up who I know well as I already met a lot of you in real life at the hotel.

And the week after some of you beginners who I hope to give a good start to your investing journey, we will be on the hunt for some great shares.

Follow uppers you will be getting your homework over the weekend! Beginners look out next week for a questionnaire, if you could fill it up and return much appreciated.

I wish I was the bearer of better news but I am still badly down in the dumps with the discs problems.

I went to see my very experienced GP who recommended the top man
In the steroid injection field. He didn't think the guy who did the original
Injection last year was any good.

So I get an appointment at the posh Harley Street address. Top man
(he has been doing these for 35 years) looked at my mri scan and
said he would do a better injection, more powerful stuff over three
Levels. Indeed he could even do it tomorrow! I agreed.

He gave you sedation!" he mocked. "No need for that!" He took
a big bundle off my card and next day I turned up for the injection.

OMG!! I cannot even describe the pain of the various injections, I
screamed the place down, felt sick and faint and ended up having
Oxygen. Got to be the worst few minutes of my life.

The nurses were great through and really looked after me as I recovered.

Once home and recovered I hoped and hoped the injections would work
But my hopes have been dashed. Made no difference at all. In fact
Probably slightly worse now.

I have a follow up appointment Monday. Goodness knows what he will say but I am definitely not having any more. What's the point?

I also don't want an operation. I decided to do a lot of reading about backs. Trouble is everyone has a different opinion or method but a kindly reader (thanks Tony) said he managed to recover using the methods of Stuart McGill and his book "Back Mechanic".

I also read the book Crooked written by a journalist who reckons on the whole the back industry is a money making racket. No doubt some of it is.

Back to McGill there is a lot to take in. I have to re-learn how to walk, position myself, sit stand and understand which are the right exercises and which makes things worse,

I would never have thought some pilates movements are bad for my condition!

Got a lot of hard work to do on myself to get up and running again not only on mind but body as frankly this is very mentally challenging and I have spent some time weeping from time to time.

As someone always very active all my life, fit and healthy to have to continue to spend so much time lying down is a killer and sometimes it just gets to me. The markets really help during the week to take my mind off things.

I now realise there is no quick fix and mentally toughening up.

Lockdown for now is perfect as not missing anything out there. I am going to have to keep the good British "upper lip".

Thanks for all your lovely feedback on zoom events. 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
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!"

from Giles:

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the seminar last week. It was exactly what I needed to give me the additional confidence I need having read your books. You managed the almost impossible task of making a full day on a Zoom call really enjoyable and importantly, really useful. I also think the way you worked together to cover off all the questions the group had throughout the day was fantastic."

For those of you who missed that one, the next will be March 17th, and
anyone welcome to spend the day with me and Elizabeth. Mail for details
at robbiethetrader with "March interested".

Elizabeth has been brilliant for the electronic sessions, asking me the hardest
questions put by attendees in the all the day chat room a la Jeremy Paxman. She also does some
great sorting out of any tech problems delegates have.

Naked Rambling

I am sure all you parents out there are going to be very happy on Monday - YES the kids are back at school finally!! And this better not be reversed!!

Given our teen is not shall we put it, academically blessed, no exams frankly for us is great! Perhaps it is now time as many think to scrap GCSEs.

At last the UK is a world leader again - in vaccines. All those wonderful volunteers and nhs workers doing the most amazing job to try and free us from coid.

Our teen has been tested before going back to school and gets 2 tests a week which is rather good as if he doesn't have it should mean we don't. He got another test today and that's negative.

Selfishly for now the Budget hasn't affected me. No change to the isa allowance or capital gains tax or spreadbetting so no worries there.

Rishi Sunak has a terrific delivery. I would buy anything off him - he understands pace and how to hold attention, very similar to Tony Blair.

Devils (**)
What a major letdown! I was so looking forwards to a new
financial drama based on the 2012 Europe crisis. But oh dear.
Cardboard cut out characters especially the lead. Awful
clunky dialogue. What a waste - Industry was so much better.
I will try and perservere in case it gets better but for the moment
this show is a short!
I Care A Lot (****) Amazon Prime
Great new movie. Two sociopaths duel. One rips off the elderly by
putting them in care homes and fleecing them. The other is a mafia figure
whose mother becomes the victim of the fleecing.
Hence a battle starts between the two: who can be the most bad? It's
silly in a way but ignoring that, it is a great watch. Rosamund Pike just won a
Golden globe for her performance.
Escape from Pretoria (****) Amazon Prime
Gripping escape drama featuring Mr Harry Potter himself in a role totally unlike HP.. it's
based on the true story of three anti apartheid locked up in jail and their incredibly worked escape from an ultra tough jail.
Zerozero zero (****) Atlantic
Very stylish mafia series with genuinely great thrilling moments. This one follows the mafia distributors too and the problems they have in transporting drugs.
Behind Her Eyes (****) Netflix
Fun thriller. Starts off a bit hackneyed - woman has affair with married man at work but it soon turns out there is a lot more going on. There are plenty of creepy moments too - however I had heard the ending was terrible. I actually guessed it and while it is crazy I thought it was a fun idea. Worth a look.
Your Honor (****) Atlantic
Yes Mr Breaking Bad himself, Bryan Cranston is back as a brilliant judge who by the end of the first episode .. guess what "¦ goes bad. He kind of has to go bad given the circumstances he finds himself in.
While the opening episode is a tad slow, this could easily build into one of the best series of the year - it is brand new this week and airs tuesday nights.
Gordon Ramsay's Bank Balance (*) BBC1
Just fcuk off Gordon!
Google says it is going to stop showing ads based on internet search history.
Strangely, the ad that keeps popping up for me is headlined "College girls gone wild".
On the wife's computer it's "Prada handbags". Better not tell her how much is in the isa.

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.

put "April sem interested" in the subject line.

I've had many queries as to when I will be getting the "Naked money" podcasts up and running again. A series where I teach a novice trader how to do it and
every week we pick a share.

Glad to report the 6k we invested together is now
over 9k, a 50pc return over 5 months.

Soon I hope as soon as the osteopath fixes the slipped discs and can sit for more than 15 mins. If you didn't catch it search for naked money whereever you get podcasts from.

My more entertainment based podcast with fun and music as well as lots of shares chat "The naked trader radio show" I hope to get going again soon.

If you never caught that google it, there are four shows, the latest "the naked trader radio show podcast 4"
Well, in all my 20 years as a full-time trader I have never come across such a crazy
time! And I really have seen crazy times - meltdowns, meltups, recessions, collapses,
and all.
But this year takes the biscuit with its craziness particularly in the states where we
see companies not worth much soar to billions valuations for no reason other than
loads of new people are flooding the market hoping for quick killings.
There is an old adage: Be fearful when others are greedy" and I can't think of another
time when greed abounds, and newcomers are buying all kinds of stuff.
One "cannabis" company launched on the market last week soared to silly levels.
It really got a high but then its comedown was pretty awful...
The Mrs is telling me takes of all sorts takes of friends who want to get into the market,
which reminds me of another adage: "When the shoeshine boy is giving you share tips
get the hell out..."
What does this tell us? Probably the US market is massively overvalued.
There is a big problem here, fear of missing out. It's a terrible human emotion. Why didn't I
buy Tesla, Gamepoint, Bitcoin you ask yourself. I could have made a mint!!
The market can keep going up against commonsense for a long time. But at some point
reality will s when a decent Dow or S and P or Nasdaq or perhaps FTSE short will
pay off. I'm happy to wait and see for now.
For the mo looks like neither bull nor bear has taken charge. One day the market is all bullish, the next day scared!
The UK market as a whole doesn't look too overhyped and indeed a lot of small caps seem
sensibly valued still.
We have a bull case: vaccine roll outs will free us from the tryanny of lockdown, everyone
will spend and the markets will rocket.
The bear one: The market has already gone up a lot, so many will lose their jobs when
furlough ends, people will stay cautious, and shares will take a dive.
I simply feel rather cautious as experience has told me when I get emails from people bragging
about how much they are making, a crash is on the way!
Doesn't mean I won't buy things but they will have to have low debt or net cash and pay a good
dividend. And in the main I will carry on ignoring pie in the sky companies.
Enough rambling:
I bought some Totally (TLY) Sounds American... "Totally"...
It provides healthcare services to the UK and Ireland and seems to be winning new contracts
recently as well as holding onto older ones.
It works a lot with the NHS and provides things like the 111 service, GP out of hours
services and urgent care services.
It is due to make a decent profit for 2021 and has some cash too. Covid has made
its services much in demand and its statements seem to intimate it is very
keen to grow.
The share price has had a good run but I nabbed some on a bit of weakness. Unless
question marks come in it's going in as a longer-term isa hold.
I added some Morgan Sindall (MGNS) which also featured on the last podcast as what I thought
was the best share to own in the building area.
Already well up on the original buy last year MGNS put out a very bullish update saying after a weak 2020, training is well ahead of expectations. It has grown a massive cash pile of over £300m
Dividend has been massively hiked and a 40p pay out"¦ goes ex dividend on 29th April, watch stops as it will start that day down 40. The share price is on the rise.
Anyhow MGNS still looks very cheap indeed and now looking for 2000p
Inspiration Heathcare (IHC) looks interesting and have bought some. A bit on the risky side as the rating is a touch high but its recent report was very bullish signalling ebita profits of near £5m and bigger revenues.
Indeed those are 53pc higher than last year.
It also has some cash and I suspect it could continue to grow nicely via acquisitions.
Mitie (MTO) could bring in mighty profits (gettit?) Shares are generally on an upwards trend after some decent statements. It's quite a well known company as it provides a lot of services like property management , heating, ventilation and landscaping.
Thanks to a rights issue debt whacked well down - I'd never previously been interested in this due to the big debt.
This last bit of lockdown won't help the next quarter but.. If profit forecasts for 2022 are anywhere near right, it looks"¦ erm"¦. Mighty cheap.
I've been building a big stake in ITV for a close to a year and including spreadbets I now own a hefty £150,000 having bought some more last week, probably the last lot! The averaging up here has worked nicely. As the price rises the more likely it is any bid will now have to be over the 200p mark.
I shorted a bit more Moonpig. I suspect it is my fault but spreadco only offers £5 max now!
And looks like IG and Spreadex aren't offering it.
A bunch of shorts have hit trailing spreadbet stops and so profits and losses have been taken.
Short profits on card factory of £7,200 .. I think Trainline is way overvalued but stopped out and no point fighting the market. A loss and a profit combines for a small £250 profit.
John Menzies short went for a profit of 3,500 and Superdry £ 4,500 .
K3C this morning has announced a very bullish statement - a significantly ahead of market expectations, reckon an easy target for these shares is another now target 357p, see research tree below.
Ab Dynamics today announced the acquisition of Vadotech using its own cash - what is interesting is that the company is determined to expand in Asia and China and into the electric market - management is showing clear vision here and potential lots of upside here for the patient.
Recent buy Solid State is pleasing the market with acquisitions and a decent one this week see the shares rise again.
Gattaca has seen some promising buying and rises well.
Moneysupermarket pleased the markets with its statement and it goes well.
Ig created a stir among traders by axeing coverage of 900 odd shares. Customers were forced onto 100pc margin and many have not long to close them out,
It said it was forced into it by its own broker - I suspect sb firms are alarmed by the Gamestop palava and they've been inundated with too many new accounts chasing the same pump and dump shares.
Out of the 900 axed shares I only held two and am allowed to hang on as a "pro" trader.
Actually an interesting list of mostly rubbish and I suspect those forced out might be glad eventually!
There are some surprise bigger shares in there that IG will no longer deal in so for those of you who mailed me re other accounts I suggest

>

for the top 350 shares, spreads are often the best and it will deal in most 350 shares and some that IG won't. It also pays 2% interest on free cash up to 20k paid monthly.
For small caps try Spreadex say for the moment they will carry on with most of the shares so that could be another place to deal in shares IG won't.
Those who moan about 100pc margins, well I do suggest in my SB book not to use margin much - the sb firms can any time ask you to go 100pc. If this is a worry and you do not have the money to cover look on it as a warning and stop using too much leverage ok! (Yes Robbie stop being horrid to me).

**NEW OFFER: Research tree discount offer: 20pc off.***
As most of you are aware I don't take ads or recommend anyone apart from the
couple of firms I use all the time and trust.
I could probably make millions from agreeing to deals offered by forex cos,
dodgy systems et all. They're all con merchants and I would never ever sleep
at night if I just took their money, so I don't much to their bewilderment! That's
why you don't see any ads on the website.
However I actually approached a company to suggest I recommend them as long
as they gave my lovely readers a decent discount and it agreed.
The site is called research-tree and I really can recommend it as it is a big
help and complements the brilliant stockopedia, the only other site I recommend.
It is very hard as an investor to get hold of brokers notes/recommendations, their
in depth research on companies. Either it is expensive or there are silly rules re who
can access them.
So this site has broker notes on companies, plenty of in depth research. You can find things such as pre-tax profit forecasts and the most shorted companies. There's an easy search facility and also a news feed.
So for example on the morning of a share result or statement you can get a broker report on that share, it is really useful! Broker reports are usually very in depth and I especially like being able to see a full year pre tax profit forecast which seems impossible to get elsewhere.
You can get a limited free account - for full access if you like it - click "upgrade" and there is a 20 per cent discount if you type nakedtrader into the discount code box.
The address is - for the discount remember the code nakedtrader after you ask to upgrade. If you upgrade let me know if the upgrade thing works well and is easy or if you encountered any probs getting the 20pc off.
Trades made for my sipp are exclusively available on my
email service (this is the website stuff plus exclusive trades mailed
to you earlier on update days). For subscription details mail me
with "email interested"

If you are thinking of A ftse trade try

pleased with execution - FTSE cos the cheapest spreads

25% off Stockopedia sub and free trial

Stockopedia is indeed like a stock market encyclopaedia and a great place to scan for new shares to buy, check out fundamentals, discuss on a sensible bulletin board. Each share gets a ranking, you can use "guru" screens to find shares, there is even a stock screen loosely based on my criteria! There are strategies based on ideas from top investors.

There is lots more really fantastic material and I believe access should help investors and I now use it myself.

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.
