say a membership fee – do you believe that such individuals should be disallowed when these new rules come into play from sending such targeted promotional material to subscribers in Ontario because at the end of the day (in my opinion) … it is a financial/investment advice and without accreditation/certification perhaps will prohibited to be communicated to Ontario subscribers. All the disclaimers in the world to the contrary of it being advice may be just noise if it is accepted that these members paying a fee use that information to coordinate speculative behaviour on the markets … do you see that as a problem this may address or just part of the badlands of the wild west that will continue to exist unchecked as it slips through the cracks …?
Great question! I’m quite proud of the content put out in CannaInvestor. The goal is very clear. Its to increase the investor's knowledge base so they can make a better-informed decision. That being said human nature is such that people sometimes believe the slick selling salesman. We are all guilty of thinking we're getting in on the ground floor, and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. I think the onus is on the investor to do proper due diligence. Seek proper advice from qualified individuals. No one is going to care about your money as much as you will.
Cheers. OK … a bit closer to home. You touched on this a bit already but let’s say the rules do not change and the status quo persists … why should someone rely on the services of a Certified Financial Planner …. I mean not a day goes by that I do not hear or see an ad by Questrade telling me to retire up to 30% richer by moving away from what this proposed legislation is advocating ….? As an aside for our readers, this MoneySense article provides some background on this specific Questrade marketing.
