SEBI has issued a warning to investors against relying on live trading strategies and real-time stock market tips shared on social media, urging them to engage only with registered intermediaries.
SEBI Cautions Investors Against Live Trading Strategies on Social Media
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has directed investors to exercise caution regarding live trading strategies and stock market tips disseminated via social media platforms. The regulatory body emphasizes the importance of dealing solely with registered intermediaries to mitigate risks.
SEBI's advisory is rooted in the growing trend of retail investors seeking real-time trading advice online, which often leads to misinformation and financial losses. By highlighting the risks associated with unverified information, SEBI aims to foster a more secure trading environment for investors.
Legal professionals should advise their clients to be vigilant and conduct due diligence while following such trading strategies, ensuring they align with recognized, secure channels of market information and advice.
