I just read on a FB group (not Sharesies but another similar NZ service) a poster seriously asking if they should sell their house to invest in shares to double their money in 1-2 years. Should I be sad or frightened? I reckon they'd probably get more if they sold their kids

With benefit of hindsight, it would've been fantastic idea to do around this time (more so in March) last year...

I wouldn't worry about one single post in that vein. Wait and see if it's echoed by more. Then I'd (possibly) react.

I deliberately put 'she' knowing it would flush out a response such as yours. If I had written 'he' instead of 'she' would you have made any comment? Thought not.
