The rules we in the financial services industry have to follow are very strict when it comes to communicating with the public. Kansas58 and I have the same opinion that this article is BS, but we could open ourselves to trouble if we went into detail as to why.

I agree.
I am free to say this:

Watch ANY financial show, at the closing bell, and watch how quickly someone wants to tell you why MILLIONS of transactions happened that day, as if they knew every person on each side of the trade, and every reason why each trade was made.

I have made it clear to my compliance department that I do get involved in 1st Amendment protect political speech from time to time.
I NEVER will recommend specific strategies or securities, in a public post.

I also do not directly list my name. :)
Anyway, so far so good.

I was once Kansas Republican Party Treasurer and a Broker at the same time.

It can be done but you are correct, we must be careful.
