Would you like to be your own boss? To spend your days doing pretty much what you like - and get paid ten times as much as you used to for sitting at a laptop for someone who doesn't care about you? There's no doubt that being a financial trader is one of the best ways to achieve this. Robbie Burns - aka The Naked Trader - knows this from experience. Twenty-two years ago he took the leap. Since then he has traded his way in stocks and shares from a few grand to over GBP3m ($5m). Along the way, he recorded a lot of his trades. He also steadily built up an arsenal of effective trading strategies: ideas that make money. Repeatedly. With no technical nonsense, no complicated equations or weird theories, just common sense and logic - which turns out not to be so common in the markets... This all-new book brings them together in one place for the first time, and shows them in action, in a compelling follow-up to his bestselling Naked Trader books. Learn how to trade the news, dash for cash, go against the crowd, play dumb to make smart money, tame black swans, score by structuring your portfolio like a football team, perfect the art of the entry, become brilliant at bouncebacks, set stop-losses like a pro... and tons more! With Robbie's trademark humour and unrivalled honesty, this book will help you kickstart your trading career, or revive it after running into difficulties - and set you on the way to freedom and financial security.

REVISED AND UPDATED 2ND EDITION OF THE NO.1 BESTSELLER! Have you dabbled in shares or the stock market? And wondered what spread betting was all about and whether you should be doing it? Perhaps you thought it all looked a bit complex or was just for City boys? The no. 1 bestselling beginner's guide that explains - in plain English - how to do it, and how to make money from it, is back and bigger and better than ever! Spread betting shares can be dangerous: most people lose - some even lose their shirts. But it's not a world populated by pinstriped men waiting to rob you, steal your savings and do nasty things to small kittens. You can win. (And you never have to pay a penny in tax!) This book shows you how. Robbie Burns, bestselling author of The Naked Trader and Trade Like a Shark, has been spread betting for years. He explains why it's an indispensable tool to use alongside normal investing or trading. Especially as you can make money even if the market goes down. Robbie takes you through everything from how it works, to managing your risk, working out exposure, and how, often, doing nothing is the best move! He explains the ins and outs of successfully betting on shares in his trademark down-to-earth style, covering everything you need to know. From the simple stuff through to proven strategies, including those that can be used in different markets - it's all here. There are also behind-the-scenes visits to two top spread betting firms. But it's a big, bad old world out there, and there are a whole heap of mistakes you can make, an awful lot of money you can lose. Rounding up spine-chilling traders' tales of spread bets gone wrong, and using all he has learnt from making silly mistakes himself, Robbie also helps you learn what not to do. This is the ultimate guide to spread betting - how to do it, have fun and hopefully make a few quid.

But it's possible to make money in the markets - and to do so reliably. Robbie Burns, aka The Naked Trader, has been trading successfully from his home for 15 years - making over GBP2m tax-free (while eating a lot of toast and watching Game of Thrones). He's also met and helped thousands of fellow traders at his seminars, seen every possible trading meltdown, and knows exactly what can go wrong - but also how to put it right. In Trade Like a Shark, Robbie uses his unique firsthand experience and the real-life stories traders have shared with him to expose exactly how the human mind can play havoc with your trading. At the same time he reveals his tried-and-tested methods for overcoming it, showing how to be a shark, gobbling up money from the 'fish' who are full of fear, greed and other emotions. (And also why modelling yourself on Mr Spock can work wonders.) If you've run into problems trading in the stock market - or just want to reinforce good habits - there is no better or wittier guide to the pitfalls that are out there, and some surprisingly effective ways to overcome them. It's a must-read book on trading psychology - without the jargon. Read it and take your trading to the next level now!
