Instinct


So far my judgement and instincts on every share has been right in 2017 in terms of buying. Next killed it today. I got the timing perfect, even better than my mentor. I just have to keep working and keep making money, there is more to come.

The attacks on London are appalling. Anyone related to the killer should be imprisoned.

Thanks to all my Facebook friends, LinkedIn contacts... the people I know who are 'too cool' for that too... there is more to come!

Typing Out Khan


"The old tunic, or deel, fits better and is always more comfortable; it survives the hardships of life in the bush, while the new or untried deel is quickly torn."

"It will be easy," he explained, "to forget your vision and purpose once you have fine clothes, fast horses and beautiful women." In that case "you will be no better than a slave, and you will surely lose everything."

Sainsbury's Need To Get Their Act Together For Investors


Back from my share job... and it's time to blast out an article on Sainsbury's in my FREE TIME :)

I am a shareholder of Sainsbury's and I've also worked for them.

As I let investor relations know today I've also written articles about them which have been read by thousands of people worldwide.

Their performance today in terms of letting private investors listen to the webcast, both live and after it happened, was very poor.

The last time I checked about an hour ago it wasn't even available in archived form. Really private investors should have been able to listen to the webcast live, as it happened. The fact that hours after it was broadcast we still were not able to is shocking.

Anyway here are the Sainsbury's Investor Relations numbersin case you want to contact them in future about this:

Investor Relations Enquiries Media Enquiries
James Collins +44 (0) 20 7695 0080 Louise Evans / Rebecca Reilly +44 (0) 20 7695 7295

The results overall were decent but they must improve to let private investors listen to the webcast asap.

Even Though I'm Not Getting Paid Why Do I think It's Cool to Write?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeIOkS_3nKQ

Watching this and decided to BLAST OUT ANOTHER ARTICLE.

I think my shares went up about £850 yesterday...

They did that while I was working from home but I wouldn't have to had to do anything for them to go up.

Anyway this article is not a share article. This article is about why I like writing EVEN WHEN I DON'T GET PAID FOR IT!!

When I was about 4, my mother got me hooked on books. She took me to the library and I started to read.

I went to QEGS junior school, a posh private school at the age of 7. But even before that I like reading books. I read books like Dilly the Dinosaur. I could read decently by about 7.

QEGS encouraged us to read and I read a lot more there. Lots of different books, I read A Christmas Carol, the short version. I read the real version of Animal Farm by about 11. I read plays, and played the part of Lord Effingham from the play Drake at the age of 11.

I liked writing from a young age too. When I was 4 years old I wrote a poem about trains and it got in 'The Huddersfield Examiner'. I think I said it and my mother might have written it out. Here is what I can remember:

"Trains go fast
Trains go slow
Trains take you anywhere you want to go
They travel through the woods
They travel through the world
They go up hills
They go down dales"

Not bad for 4.

I could touch type by about the age of 9. It took a bit more practice but from about the age of 11 I was a decent touch typer.

At school and college, Batley Grammar and Greenhead College, most of the subjects I took involved writing a lot. Some of the stuff I wrote there was pretty dam good if I do say so myself. It will be on old hard drives somewhere and I would like to dig it out sometime for you. I wrote "To What Extent Does George Orwell Create a Dystopia in 1984?". I wrote "To What Extent was Nazi Rule a Legal Revolution?". That last title is paraphrased but it got 93%.

When I was 19 at Leeds University I started writing my novel. This was my first time away from home. I spent quite a bit of time in the library. I thought I could either just read a lot all my life or I could write a novel. So I started writing.

You've read about this before if you've read my blog. Everyone was telling me not to write a novel. My family said give it up. When I finally finished it nobody wanted to publish it conventionally. But I didn't give up. I had a French friend and he told me to publish it as an ebook so he helped me and I did.

I've written on many different internet forums sometimes under different names. Again I would like to reclaim some of that writing, some was pretty good.

Even when I was doing regular jobs, I would still try and sell my novel. I have sold way over 1,000 products now but the hardest product to sell is my novel. Some people buy it though, some people who I like I give it away for free.

In 2014 I sent an article into Fool, hoping they would publish it. To my surprise they did. I had 4 articles published on Fool and got paid £45 for each of them.

Then Fool said I did not get enough email sign ups so I couldn't write for them anymore. I told Rupert Hargreaves and he said apply to write for ShareProphets, so I did. They accepted me. I got paid 0.5p per unique view at first, but it went up to 5p per unique view.

I wrote for another site which conned me, paying 1p per unique view. I still have those article and I will republish sometime.

Overall over 100,000 people all around the world have read my share writing.

I just like the buzz of writing. I love the feel of words coming alive onto the page. For a share investor, it helps you understand shares more. It keeps you accountable to your goals. When you write on the internet THERE IS NO HIDING PLACE.

The world can see your thoughts.

So of course you do need to get paid in order to survive in the modern world. But I'm good enough now where I can still write for free because I like to.

Progression


Saw I'd had some views on my forty thousand article recently... think I'll throw in a quick time hop.

http://markhowitt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/fifteen-thousand.html

http://markhowitt.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/forty-thousand.html



We're at nearly 69,000 views now... you'll have noticed a lot of my articles recently have been just quick ones, daily. I'm spending a lot of time in my new job which is really interesting and enabling me to spend a lot more time on shares. Yesterday Bovis went up over 10%... in one day. It was up more than that in places. Chris Bailey advised me to take profits but I still hold...

So anyway, 100,000 views... I want it to happen this year. And you know me, I only want that from producing original content. Practically every country in the world with internet access has visited my site now... thank you to all of you and there is more to come.

Getting Better With Time


Blasting this out on Sunday...

In many ways you can get better with time.

This is certainly true of anything that is purely a mental task like writing. I was reading Bernard Cornwell yesterday... he's getting to be a better writer with time into his 70s. In the past a lot of writers my age were just getting their first books published. I think in the 21st Century writers will be judged a lot on their internet writing, not just normal books... you can do it every day quickly.

You just have more experience. You have seen more situations and know how to react to them. Your mental state can get better. You can have read more books so know more things...

You just have to keep your energy up and win.
