Is it legal to comment on recommendation of BUY or SELL call without license? and.. and.. and.. Is it legal to comment on comment on recommendation of BUY or SELL call without license? "Commentception", 2nd level thinking, whatever u want to call it, nailed it. :DDD
Is it meant that those who have been suffering losses as a result relying on OTB's advice paid service are able log a complaint to SC and claim damages from him?
if promises are broken, of course the party who suffered losses can sue for compensation or restitution or performance of contract.,,,in a civil suit.
however, if there are no promises of profits or if there are proper disclaimer conditions, it would be difficult for the plaintiff to win in a civil suit.
However, while disclaimer clauses gives protection against civil suits.
disclaimer clauses do not provide any protection against criminal prosecution by the authorities if indeed laws are broken.

if the legality of the transaction is doubtful, check with lawyers or with SC....not with me.
However under tort law, if a transaction is based on illegality, the party who has suffered can sue for avoidance of the contract including all moneys paid for the services.
you need to be a licensed CFA before you can dish out your financical planning. whether in stocks , unit trust, forex or deriatives. the buyer has to sign an idemnity form that acknowledge the risks of this products.
whether the product makes money is another matter. people can share their thoughts or views (Yes. ultimately you make your own decision ) to buy , hold or sell.
If given another scenario, the buyer as a CFA ask you to invest in foreign currency or commodity thru his account. You lost money ? you still cannot argue in the court of law to claim back your losses. unless he or she has given an undertaking that the product is 100% guarantee ( money back.)
Oh ! i missed out that the get rich scheme also give assurance that 100% money back guarantee. please open up your eyes and ears for scam. if in doubt please check with the relevant agencies ( eg. BNM or liensed commercial banks ) this is my personal view
blogging is fine. nothing wrong with that. I doubt it constitutes financial advise. you need to have some form of contract and payment for such services .. which is why people charging subscriptions could end up in a legal tango.
i like to read investment blogs ( likewise sometimes i feel the urge to write ) eg say something good about a particular company. you make your own decision to believe or not to believe. same goes for everything in the internet
It's ok so long as they are playing within the rules of the game. How can a person without a license to provide paid services to the public? If no law to control such activities, Ah Too, Ah Kau, Ah Beng also can provide such advisory services. It could mess up the whole investment environment. SC should look into cases of those unlicensed service providers.
