i love how you are telling him it was a dumb idea, when you have no idea if he sold enough at $1100 to cover his student loan, or that right now he is still in a position where he has doubled his money in a matter of months regardless of this crash.

Too many people offering investment advice in hindsight round here.

Err isn't ivanplenty doing the opposite of offering hindsight investment advice? He's saying it was stupid despite it ending up being a profitable investment.
Just because it worked out well in the end doesn't mean it was a good idea to begin with
It means it was a worthwhile risk that paid off.
