        Hi Extraslim ,
        True story from a night out in Peterbrough , my mate and me went out for a long night out . Ended up in this cafe at the end of the night …..and this old boy who as we found out owned quite a few night clubs and pubs in Peterborough and had a wallet so full of cash i was suprised he could carry it . Anyway nice bloke that he was we was having a laugh and was buying drinks and stuff watching the sun come up . When he asked this bloke next to him what he did ? …no shit ” i work in the city as a stock broker ” . At which point the the ex club owner goes and what do you earn !!! . Well i forget as it was a long time ago and it was a long night but lets say it was alot .

        And this guy ( Stock Broker ) goes on to mention his latest tip on making money !!!! , now im a dumb ass but basically he said he was selling stocks that he hadn’t even bought ? ….and was making a shed load !!! . And that it was a loop hole and he was sure it would be made illegal very soon !!! .

        So the ex club owner says you call that a job !!!! …..then points to my mate and me and says these are firefighters …they save lifes !!!! ….which we both got embarrased !!! . Then said you sell shit you dont even have and earn XXXXXXX and then asked my mate and me what we earned XXXX . Well i dont know the ins and outs of it but if i sold a car i never owned i’d be nicked !!!! …..needless to say the stock broker left lol .

        My point is this guy the ex club owner had earned his money from scratch , yet this bloke who sold shares ….a bit of paper was earning a shed load ….!!!!! . Whats real in life !!! ……and this world of dodgy dealings may have helped bring this recession . So to all you stock brokers out there …..please ……come back and explain what the fuck you actually do ……as i just think your dodgy ebay sellers selling shit you dont have !!!!

          i don’t really know what a stockbroker is but my dad takes celebrities’ money and buys stocks for them with it (for a job).. i tell him all the time he’s basically just a glorified gambler. just with other peoples’ money.

                  They banned short term trading in 2008 after the banking crisis, any city man worth his salt was making 60% profit everyday. Also there are shares you can buy at todays rate, that you pay for on a fixed date in the futher, in the weeks leading upto 9/11 there was an huge increase in the trading of united airlines and american airlines shares on the chicargo stock exchange. On the fixed date if the value of the shares have dropped you make the difference if they go up then you pay the difference. This is why you see fellas jumping out of windows in the city, they never had the money to pay for the shares, so its out the window or into jail

                    Did anyone actually watch the video? his problem with stock brokers is largely grammatical.

                      Ask him about what i said above and if there are those who recomend you put your house on these types of shares, put your money on other shares, keep the profit and the loss, and hand you back the difference on your loss. In this case your key ring minus your house keys

                        Hi All ,
                        Me im just a simple person but from what i have read from all above , seems to me its all a gamble ….stock exchange is a Las Vegas !!! . Quite worrying as it effects us all …..no wonder the economy is in such a poor state !!!! . Ever watched the stock exchange …..total chaos !!!! ….surely theres a better way ? . If my job worked that way …..nothing would ever get done !!!

                        regards

                          Cant watch it on this phone.There was something on the radio this evening about a stockbroker who last year, had a load of booze, and went in to work and traded 8 million barrels of oil and cost one of his clients £7million. He got barred from working in the city for five years
