    If only those peoples would have got an honest person to help them out ,when they called to buy some shares on their certfi account ,the broker ,saw they were buy quite a bit at the time ,and it was something they have never done before .


    The broker could have tell them to ask the bank for investment advise ,but as we know not everybody is honest enough , their interest comes first rather than the customers .

    Either that or let them get on with certefi, account NOT divert them into something they knew nothing of .

    But is always nice to take some advise on board and learn .

    As they had an execution only account no advice can be offered.
    It was entirely their own responsibility.

    I suspect its been typed on one of those new fangled things with tiny buttons.:mad:

    I think it was typed w/o a grasp of english (OK, I don't have a grasp of russian for instance although I do speak others). Fair play

    In this case, I dont' think we can blame the device?

    Slowly slowly ,you will get there .

    A lawer gets paid to defend the criminal ,he knows the crime, he knows he commit the crime but is getting paid to defend him .

    The only thing he WILL NOT be able to play the race card in court . here is a bit like this .each one has to defend there interest.s ,and when one makes his mind up ,just because he has to ,anything anybody says will just make it worst ,so is point less . The good think here is , a few nasty comments does not represent the British peoples there are and still are very good peoples out there that deserve a lot of respect .

    Slowly, Slowly I Hope you get here.

    NOH,

    You have answer the point ,NO ADVISE CAN BE GIVEN WHICH MEANS NO ADVISE TO OPEN A MARKET MASTER EITHER ,LET ALONE OPEN IT FOR THEM .All they had to do was buy what they asked for on their account .
    As for the link posted here, how could they had seen it if it was them who open the account ? and why insisting on opening the account despite being .THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW IT WORKED ?

    I think those who think they are clever to take the p*ss out of a foreigner who is typing in their language should show how clever they are by replying in his language :(
