    Bastard stock brookers keep ringing me trying to sell me ****. Full on American, have a nice day, power selling me crap while I'm at work! I've had one at me for the last five minutes trying to get me to buy some company thats going to be on the nasquack or whatever it's called.

    I don't understand stock market! Me live in country, I don't even fully understand how credit cards work and I have no interest in finding out.

    I let them go through all their **** just to waste their time but now it's wasting my time too.

    Do you know what a tracker mortgage is?

    Most important point.

    Unless you're fabulously wealthy if you're getting cold called from a "stock broker" that you've never engaged you are being set up to be scammed.

    Ask him if he knows what a trapper-moore gauge is. I'd love to know.

    This is the stock he wanted me to buy before he hung up in disgust at my ignorance.

    It's the next best thing, so they say.

    Buy high, sell low! I have a tiny portion in the S&P 500 and other indexes.

    You should have asked him if you could buy shares in his boiler room. I heard that's the next best thing for around three weeks.

    Invest everything in the Confederated Slave Holdings company.

    Think of it as being just like "Dope Wars" Ya gotta buy the cocaine for as cheap as possible in the Ghetto before heading over the bridge into Manhattan and selling it to make a profit

    A stock market is a vehicle for you to put money in but it tends to crash quite alot. :pac:

    You might want to look into a company called CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet instead. Rumour has it Bill Gates may buy it out...

    Oh don't be so sexist. You can't have a proper stock market without women to grope. Jeez it's not the 1920's anymore!

    A place where fools rush in, and Angels fear to tread.
