All,

Is there anyone here that is a client of City Equities?

If so, have they rung you regarding a mining/resource stock last Friday, or today?

If so, can you remember which one please?

I would be grateful if you could post it here, as I hold an account but don't want to ring because they can be a bit pushy.

velocity,

I don't like being pushed, so trying to find out here, and if it's one i'm interested in, I will indeed call.

Their dealers are essentially salesmen, and pushy as a result, which I personally don't like.

Eurasia mining was one of their share tips for 2004, but fortunately I don't get the "boiler room" phonecalls.

Yes I'm a client and brought some Eurasia EUA in August 2003.
I think they also suggested Tertiary Minerals TYM in May last year.

Im sure i can find out for you and post in the morning

pjacobs(MoneyAM),

that would be appreciated, many thanks!

Just say "No"... !

Kayak,

but as a holder of mainly mining and resource stocks, I'm genuinely interested in which one it is, and MAY buy if it's one I like.

Thye have a clever trick of asking you how much liquidity you have before they tell you about the stock!

andy not a client but way round that is to say you have no cash but if it is a stock you like you will sell some of your current holdings.

Wether you like them or not I managed to make more than 70% profit in a year.

woodie,

No that doesn't work!

They ask you how much you have available in Liquid assets, ie how much CASH you have, and if it's under three months salary, they won't tell you!

I know I could lie, but prefer not to do that.

I think they are learning, because I used the "I will sell something" ruse last time, and then didn't buy his recommendation.

I think they want to make it harder for you to say "no"!

These are boiler room tactics, IMHO, and have nothing to do with investing.

Andy,

sorry mate, they wont tell me.

have to hold my hands up and say i used to work there.

pj,

ok thanks for trying!

Interesting article re "boiler room" brokers!

latest Parker Rowe tip (at 5p last week!) doesn't appear to be going too well!


Pearl Street Or 3.62 -0.875 -19.44% 3.25 4.00

Yes a total pile of hyped up sh*te Andy.

Parker Rowe read these bb's (certainly ADVFN) cos they asked a mate if he was "Dil" .

Apparently this Dil chap had slagged them off on ADVFN :-)

Here's the link Andy.

Dil,

Thanks, this "Dil" chap seems to be a real thorn in their side!

The Mail on Sunday wrote an article about Parker Rowe a couple of weeks ago, it seems they are not so impressed either!
