I for one have been in similar situations with friends before but then, It is okay to share investment advice to your friends but you see my friend, investment advice can either lead to praise when things go well, blame when it doesn't go well and you might as well not even get feedback at all. It's important to remember that each person's financial decisions are their own responsibility. So moving forward, it would be wise to approach these investment advice related conversations with caution and encourage independent decision-making don't force or convince anyone, just focus on maintaining your strong relationship with them more because once it comes to money, you can have issues with even family relatives if things don't go well.
