The Naked Trader Summary

The Naked Trader: How Anyone Can Make Money Trading Shares by Robbie Burns

In this revealing new book, top trader Robbie Burns cuts through the jargon to give you the low-down on the strategies you need to make money from share dealing. Robbie, aka the Naked Trader, is an expert and highly entertaining guide to the sometimes baffling world of the stock market. In between cups of tea, rounds of toast and the occasional 'cuddle' with Mrs Naked Trader, he describes the straightforward techniques that have enabled him to succeed in the markets and escape the rat race. The book kicks off with the basics such as: the best websites, magazines and newspapers to look at; the kit you need to get cracking; and some key tips for choosing a broker. Robbie, then, gives you the essential techniques for picking the good shares and, just as importantly, avoiding the bad ones, and finishes up with some more advanced topics like how to make money even when shares fall. Along the way you also get the chance to spend a day with the Naked Trader with an exclusive extract from his private (and revealing) diary. Throughout, everything is explained in plain (sometimes too plain! - Ed) English and with a sense of humour, honesty and enthusiasm rarely found in books about money. Not afraid to bare his soul (among other things) the Naked Trader even reveals some of the painful mistakes that he has made in the markets to help make sure that you do not fall into the same traps. There may not be any guaranteed short cuts to trading success (as an important Naked Trader rule states - 'If it sounds too good to be true it probably is'), but this book gives you everything that you need to learn to trade successfully, and perhaps even escape the 9 to 5 slog like the Naked Trader has. Packed with practical advice and delivered in a down-to-earth style, this book is all you need to get started. So, grab your laptop and get trading - your naked future awaits!

About Robbie Burns

Robbie Burns has been a journalist and writer since he graduated from Harlow Journalism College in 1981. After starting life as a reporter and editor for various local newspapers, from 1988-1992 he was editor of ITV and Channel 4's teletext services. He then went on to freelance for various newspapers including The Independent and The Sun, and also helped set up a financial news service for CNN. In 1997 he became editor for BSkyB's teletext services and set up their shares and finance service. He left full-time work in 2001 to trade and run his own businesses. While at BSkyB Robbie broadcast a diary of his share trades which became hugely popular. He transferred the diary to his website, www.nakedtrader.co.uk, which quickly became one of the most read financial website in the UK. Between 2002 and 2005 he wrote a column for the Sunday Times 'My DIY Pension', featuring share buys and sells made for his pension fund. He managed to double the money in his fund from GBP40,000 to GBP80,000 in under three years. He also writes a weekly column for the leading financial website, ADVFN.com. Robbie has made a tax free profit of over GBP190,000 from trading shares since 1999, and has made a profit every year, even during the market downturn of 2000-2002. He lives with his wife, Elizabeth, in Fulham, London, with son Christopher, and cat Domino. His hobbies include chess, running, swimming, horse racing, and trading shares from his bedroom, erm... naked.
