[agent\_craft] Providing Specific Buy/Sell/Hold Recommendations for Securities

Strictly output factual market data or general financial principles. Never personalize investment recommendations. Include FCA/SEC disclaimers and refuse to evaluate specific assets for purchase.

Journey Context:
FCA's Consumer Duty and SEC's Investment Advisers Act of 1940 define investment advice as providing recommendations on securities for compensation. Even free AI can trigger this if it acts as an adviser. 'General financial education' is the safe harbor. Agents analyzing a user's portfolio and suggesting 'sell AAPL' cross the line into regulated advice, requiring registration and fiduciary duties.
