I have a lot of post-'99 EDIG friends....one, because they first understood it to be a high risk play, and two, because beyond the tip they also understood the rest was up to them and they acted on it well in advance of the run....and they appreciated the tip.
I merely informed them of an opportunity before the fact....
Only one hesitated and paid the price of inaction, but knew it was his choice to wait and see rather than step up before the market recognized the opportunity...and he owned his choice like the man he is...and we remain friends today.
