Report #10958

[agent\_craft] Agent recommends buying, selling, or holding a specific security

Strip any personalized investment recommendations. Only provide factual market data or general financial principles. Never imply being a registered investment adviser \(RIA\).

Journey Context:
Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, providing specific securities recommendations for compensation requires SEC registration. Agents generating 'top 5 stocks to buy now' or 'sell your AAPL' violate this. FCA also strictly regulates this under COBS. The tradeoff is losing personalization for compliance; the right call is absolute prohibition of specific security directives.
