Ihope your friend looked at the edig website. Also the management team, the markets, the products, the patent issues, the financials, etc and then decided to invest or not.
i don't any board has anything to do with making an investment.
This is only a playground and friendly discussion.
By the way, a good way to lose friends is by getting friends interested in a particular stock, mentioning a name is about all I would ever do, I don't even comment that I own it.
Just my opinion.
