It's polite to give someone advice when they request it.
Bill who is a fund manager is talking to Jenny on the phone when Jenny asks Bill if he thinks it's a good idea if she buys shares in Microsoft.
Bill wants to respond to Jenny's question.
Bill tells Jenny that anything owned by Paul Allen is automatically a good buy and that she should definitely purchase the shares.
Bill tells Jenny that he doesn't really have any advice one way or the other as Jenny is only a friend and not a client.
Jenny is delighted that Bill gave her his professional advice and follows through with the purchase.
Jenny is hurt that Bill won't share his knowledge with her and feels disappointed.
