I remember, about 6 months ago, this chap called "John Bailey" calls me from Malaysia. A broker. He says, "We have recieved information that ABC company is about to win undersea drilling contracts off mainland China"-he says. "I only have 1000 shares left"..."We expect it to go up by 155% he says". I politely refuse and say I shall have to do my research on the company and deduce from its past performance weather I will invest or not.........(30min later,international call mind you.)......."I only have 100 shares left".......(15 min later)......"I only have 50 left now, its the last of them!!) I swear, this chap called me everyday for 5 days, each time a minimum of 15min. I listened, I asked about the most intricate details(most of which he was unsure of or would ask his supervisor later), I toyed with him....it was fun..!!!He gave up eventually...
