Key points
Avoid persons or entities that approach you with phrases like ‘investment opportunity,’ ‘guaranteed return’ or anything else that sounds too good to be true.
Avoid high-pressure sales tactics and advertisements – if you didn’t look for the company on your own, best to avoid.
Do your own due diligence – trust yourself, avoid listening to others for advice on what to buy and sell. Speak with a registered financial advisor.
Learn the basics – Learn Dow Theory 101 and identify what a bear market is and what a bull market is. Learn about conservative and traditional investing. Learn about investing in leaders and proven successful stocks like those in the conventional basket of blue-chip stocks.
What is SEC Rule 10b-5?
SEC Rule 10b-5 simply states that it is unlawful to commit fraud or deceit on anyone. This involves practices listed above, but it also includes untrue information and even information that is omitted. (see https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/17/240.10b-5)
Is it illegal to manipulate stocks?
When it comes to the stock market’s regulatory and legal side, few words are as broad in their definition and meaning as manipulation. Stocks are always manipulated by large and small entities in (mostly) legal and ethical ways – that is the stock market’s nature. But some forms of stock manipulation are illegal, like front running and naked short selling. Naked short selling is the shorting of a stock without borrowing the underlying stock to short. A recent example of this is the percentage of short interest in GameStop by hedge funds in early 2021 – hedge funds were short 130% of GameStop’s float. In other words, hedge funds had 30% more shares short than are available.
Is the stock market a pyramid scheme?
No, the stock market is not a pyramid scheme. Like those who run Ponzi schemes, some fraudsters run pyramid schemes – but the stock market itself is not a pyramid scheme.
