Your post reminded me of my experience giving two of my buddies a "tip" on CYDY about a year ago. They both bought 500-800 shares around 5. So, I have not heard back from them in a year!

I've changed my approach. Now, when asked about my investment here, I simply tell them what I'm in and strongly advise them to conduct their own due diligence. I am comfortable with my investment, but everyone needs to have their own comfort zone.
