Used to drink in a  well known sports bar on Suk' where 'boiler room' lads used to drink and openly brag when they'd had a few on a Friday evening of their weekly junk share 'victims'.One cockney lad even tried to  put the hard sell on me one night telling me he could get me into a Karachi based property trust portfolio that offered a' guaranteed 30% yield' for 'parking' my money in there for 18 months.When I told him that the Eastern Suburbs Sydney property market was doing that every 6 months (at the time)and maybe he should get his boss to see me...he didn't know what to say!
