Since VLNC tends to spend a fair amount of time below $5, I would have at least advised her to average in her life savings of $5,000. For example, she could have bought 300-400 shares at a time (three segments) over a week or two, and averaged in below $5.

However, I would NOT have recommended VLNC as a first investment. It's too speculative. With this company, it's an all or nothing proposition. You will either make it big or lose it all.
