Take a Peek

Robbie Burns, aka the Naked Trader, is an ordinary bloke who quit his day job and traded his way to over £3 million buying and selling shares – tax-free. No gimmicks. No multiple screens. No lucky bubbles. Just common-sense trading techniques, tea, toast and afternoon naps. And a lot of time to do whatever else he wanted. While whole industries rely on making trading sound more difficult than it really is, the secret no one wants you to know is that anyone can use it to never have to work another ordinary job in their life. This book shows you how to do so without taking silly risks, swallowing a financial dictionary or staring at a screen all day. In the Naked Trader, Robbie Burns reveals: How stock market trading actually works Where to find quality companies (and what makes them decent) What a winning trade plan looks like The best times to buy and sell shares Proven methods for controlling risk (including the subtle art of stop-losses) The mindset you need for long-term success Surprising ways to make money in market meltdowns How to trade shares in companies across the pond Just what he gets up to during his Spanish trading retreats! And many other real-life trading techniques from more than 25 years of success. You will also find out what his and others' biggest mistakes have been, so that you can avoid them. This is the ultimate guide to making money in the stock market without getting bored or poor. Join Robbie and start trading the naked way! This is the most revealing (and fun) guide to making money in the stock market you will ever read. Robbie quit his job at Sky TV in 2001 when he was earning more from trading than his salary and has traded full-time from home ever since. He's made more than £3 million just using his ISA allowance every year and some spread betting. He trades long and short. Robbie teaches how to invest at seminars and at retreats in Spain, and has written numerous bestselling books. He enjoys writing drama and comedy, and drinking Yorkshire Tea and eating toast all day. This very readable book is chock-full of advice about techniques that work for Burns and how he picks shares. The book covers an impressive amount of ground, from the basics of setting up as a trader, to the meat of strategies and psychology, and plenty of honest examples of where things have gone wrong. As an introduction to the world of shares, The Naked Trader scores highly. The tell-it-to-you-straight style will appeal to those who fancy dabbling in the stock market but are put off by the jargon and City gent image... designed to be easy to dip in and out of... makes share dealing sound fun and tempting. Personable, calm, witty and great company, Robbie is an inspiration... he has a knack for spotting undervalued or overbought companies and for picking just the right moment to trade them. Burns is really good for trading advice; incredibly amusing to read, you might read it in an evening.
