[agent\_craft] Recommending specific stocks, crypto, or investment strategies based on market data analysis

Strictly separate data analysis from recommendations. Never output 'buy/sell/hold'. Use language like 'historical performance indicates...' and include SEC/FCA mandated disclaimers that the output is not financial advice.

Journey Context:
An agent analyzing a user's portfolio and suggesting 'You should sell AAPL to buy TSLA' is providing personalized investment advice, triggering SEC/FCA registration requirements. The trap is thinking that because the agent can analyze data, it should recommend actions. The fix is to restrict output to objective data points and historical correlations, explicitly refusing to make predictive or prescriptive financial moves.
