Hey BigPlums.

Maybe you should look into how to declare your position when you suggest something to your colleagues/management. They could then decide if there is any potential for conflict of interest, and if get that in writing or witnessed somehow then you're covered in case of any future issues.

I doubt there is risk of issues in most circumstances unless perhaps if you are involved in the final decisions / spending the money so to speak, and even then if you have declared your interest in what you are "promoting" then you should still be covered.

This might be a bit different if your scenario is more in regards to fears of insider trading based on your dealings/conversations and how that could be seen to influence your trading decisions etc... In this regards you may want to seek legal counsel to understand what you can and can't do etc.

I'm sure there are pain free ways to trade tech stocks if you want to AND be confident you are doing the right thing.

Best of luck.
