100% true story. My brother just phoned me to say he's sold out. I lent him the money to buy the stock on the proviso he holds until I tell him it's time to sell.
You can choose your friends but not your family. Never again.
His excuse? He was getting too nervous! For goodness sakes, I lent him the money with no requirement to pay back if he blew the lot. He was on a winner to nothing and still sold.
NEVER, NEVER again. Never another tip, never another loan. Wait until my father hears about that one.
