A shareholder enters the LSE chatroom.
TheBold: Hello, I wish to register a complaint. ( GRH does not respond.)
GRH: Hello, Miss?
TheBold: What do you mean "miss"?
GRH: (pause) I'm sorry, I have a cold.
TheBold: I wish to make a complaint!
GRH: We're closin' for lunch.
TheBold: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this share what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
GRH: Oh yes, the, uh, the Predator Oil Ordinary Share, Ticker Code PRD.L, ISIN JE00BFZ1D698 ...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
TheBold: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
GRH: No, no, he's uh,...it's resting.
TheBold: Look, matey, I know a dead share when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
GRH: No no it's not dead, he's, it's restin'! Remarkable share, the PRD, isn't it? Beautiful CEO !
TheBold: The potential doesn't enter into it. It's stone dead.
GRH: No no no no, no, no! It's resting!
TheBold: All right then, if it's resting, the rampers will wake it up! (shouting at the screen) Hello, PG! I've got a lovely fresh investment case for you to spin...
GRH: There, it moved!
TheBold: No, he didn't, that was the market makers widening the spread!
GRH: I never made that last 300 share purchase at 10% over the ask!!
TheBold: Yes, you did!
GRH: I never, never did anything...
TheBold: (yelling and hitting the keyboard repeatedly) HELLO PRD!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your seven o'clock RNS alarm call! (Takes PRD out of the portfolio and sells it for 5% less than the Bid. Throws hands in the air and watches the share price plummet to the floor.)
TheBold: Now that's what I call a dead share.
GRH: No, no.....No, PG is stunned by the market reaction!
TheBold: STUNNED?!?
GRH: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! The PRD CEO stuns easily, major.
TheBold: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely had enough of this. PRD is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not a half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out following a prolonged Pump and Dump.
GRH: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for GKP in 2011.
TheBold: PININ' for ADNAN SAMARRAI?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look why PRD falls flat on its back the moment I bought some.
