London Investor Show 2025

GMK News today dropped into the London Investor show in Hammersmith. A talk on how long can gold’s historic run last? Came up with some interesting ideas about what could happen in the future as far as gold was concerned. Everything depends on the time when China decides to invade Tawain. The speaker started. China have already built ships which can come ashore the three beaches on the island and climb the cliffs. The invasion/ armegeddon could come as early as 2027. When this happens, gold will obviously stop rising, he added. Clem Chambers, from Solomon Global introduced more to think about. He does not hold out much hope for electric cars which will suffer as the world’s source of electric power transfers to AI usage. Meaning that far from

becoming defunct, petrol cars will keep going.

Another talk attended was entitled, ‘ property profits without the hassle. Tenants and builders can be problematic’ the speaker stated at the start. The main thrust of his talk was about how property development is funded by using an equity investment/ second charge. The speaker predicted that uk house prices could increase by another 24.5 % by 2029. Despite all the recent fluctuations, the market is still relatively stable. Stability will stay.

We only raise capital when we have a project which range between 800k and 1.2m per each one, he affed. The speaker,Thomas Muir mainly invests in Liverpool. Finds and buys a property, raises the capital, employs builders to develop, uses a valuer and makes sure that every one who is involved is credible. On average, investors should get a 15 % return.

The final talk GMK news dropped into was on why do most traders fail? The one thing that changes everything, backpack trader style. The speaker likes to travel, he can trade anywhere, he has freedom.He can earn as much as possible for as little as possible. He started trading back as far as 1991. Was in a job which was kicking his arse. Exhausted, like a hamster on a hamster, getting nowhere. Trading is risky,never trade more than you can afford to lose. Capital growth model. See backpacktrade.com/londontrader.

34 years experience, also a tutor. 1992 , George Surrows broke the Bank of England. Heard about the need for a trade plan, hired as a trading coach, then started running a trade room with 100-150 people in it. It’s not about looking back to decide what to buy and trade. This de-rails us. We have no control over what happens next. We have a will to survive, always run away when face difficulty. Natural survival instinct. This is is the one thing we get wrong g and the one thing we need ti change to get things right.

LEAN ON THE SYSTEM. key thing to take away from today.

The trade plan is the system. You have proven it works. You shouldn’t risk a pound unless it is already proven to work. What is your reason to trade. Make money, buy freedom. There is no other reason. Next question is how do you do it?

Must always trade very small to start. Get to know it works before trading bigger. The counter punch trader is his strategy. Trades crude oil features. It always repeats itself. You can’t hide it because it is most observed. Buyers snd selectees. Bullets coming in and going out. Patterns will repeat very often because human behaviour needs changes. If you can identify a pattern you can then build a trade plan around it. Don’t know what is going to happen next. We need to guess. Need to pin point , points where things become exhausted. Or where something starts very enteric like Ali coming into the boxing ring for round one. Look for seller to chapstick followed by the counter punch. Ancient rice merchants used this strategy with maths whereas today we use machines. Where are the red and green buttons. Look for crocodile line, don’t want the red button to drop anymore below it. Tools do the job better for identifying patterns than people. Need to get it right. Don’t need to get things wrong to get things right. Need machine to tell you when to get in and when to get out.

Red dots show when to get out, green when to get in.

This is the winning formula. Look at yesterday’s session. Look for a risk free trade. Worst thing is you don’t make money, best is when you actually do. The immediate past can create the immediate future. Sometimes may lose a trade or lose a session. But 4 times out of 5 you will win.
