A Different Perspective with Robbie Burns, The Naked Trader


Listen Later

This week Nick talks to Robbie Burns

Robbie has been a journalist and writer since earning his journalism degree from Harlow College in 1981. He began his career as a reporter and editor for various local newspapers before becoming editor of ITV and Channel 4’s teletext services from 1988 to 1992. During this time, he also wrote ITV’s daily teletext soap opera, Park Avenue, for five years.

Afterward, Robbie transitioned to freelance journalism, contributing to newspapers such as The Independent and The Sun, and played a role in establishing CNN’s financial news service. In 1997, he became editor of BSkyB’s teletext services, where he launched their shares and finance section and developed entertainment phone lines, including a Buffy the Vampire Slayer hotline that earned him nearly £250,000.

In 2001, Robbie left full-time employment to focus on share trading and running a London café, which he later sold for double his initial investment. While at BSkyB, he began broadcasting a diary of his share trades, which gained significant popularity and was later moved to his website, nakedtrader.co.uk. The site became one of the UK’s most-read financial resources. 

Currently, Robbie writes a weekly column for ADVFN and conducts trading seminars featuring live market demonstrations. Since 2001, he has achieved tax-free trading gains exceeding £2.5 million, earning him a place among the UK’s few ISA millionaires. His publicly shared trades alone have generated over £1.5 million in profits, showcasing his consistent success even during challenging market periods.

Nick and Robbie talk about his career path to becoming the Naked Trader and his favoured stocks. The 6th edition of the Naked Trader is available here.
