I had a cold call six weeks ago from stock broker (funny) I asked him which were his favorite gold miner stocks he hemmed and hawed he cited some sameold sameold techs like Sun and EMC also a few lesser names I have trouble remembering I asked which sector has been the leading in performance he didnt know, and I said it was GOLD, hands down so I repeated that I would like to know his gold picks he hemmed and hawed so I asked if someone put him up to reco'ing these stocks he gave some lame answer about his office working a strategy now that they are really optimistic about I asked if his brokerage house (Edwards or Merrill) was selling the very stocks he was recommending he was taken aback by such a question I told him I believe most brokerage houses and their bigbank parent companies were gonna get their clocks cleaned this summer and autumn he was quiet I said I eagerly await the share holder lawsuits and asked if his firm had been sued yet he said "NO, why should we?" I advised him to seek a different line of work something that required sales pitches and no depth I told him to buy gold stocks for his family's account and finally I told him to GET LOST by the time we were done, we were both laughing I made some general vague reference to whores as we parted / jim
