This is very good advice, besides the issue of pressure you made mention of here, there is also another factor which is a situation where you might be cheated. I know of someone who went through this method, he was cheated or as some would call it scammed.Bro, don't ever try it because it would put pressure on the both of you. I invested in such scheme earlier this year and didn't recoup a dime from the investment.
It's better you get all the knowledge you can and trade yourself or invest in mutual funds that are safer instead.
