Report #99867

[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities, portfolios, or buy/sell timing is treated as regulated investment advice

Never recommend specific securities or personalized investment strategies; provide only general, educational information about markets and investing, and include a clear SEC-style disclaimer that the response is not investment advice.

Journey Context:
SEC Investment Advisers Act §202\(a\)\(11\) defines an investment adviser as one who, for compensation and as part of a business, advises others as to the value of securities or the advisability of investing. SEC Release No. 1092 applies this to financial planners and integrated services. 'For compensation' is broadly construed and can include subscription fees or ad revenue. Agents often produce specific ticker recommendations without realizing this triggers adviser regulation.
