Icon888, i am not that childish to challenge anyone to anything here, like i say, it just a friendly post to share, and as other users also has help to point out exactly what licensed is needed and how to obtain it, and investor.com also kind enough to put in disclaimer in all the recommended posts now though the author ignore it. That is good enough, by sharing, we are learnt something new, want to challenge, go MMA instead. Whether you are free, get arrest, or surrender yourself, do i care ? The post is not about you at all.

Registered Representatives are divided into three categories :

• Trading Representative (TR) who can accept clients’ orders for securities (order taking) and execute securities trades;

• Introducing Representative (IR), who is able to introduce or refer prospective clients to or market the services of the participating organisation (PO) he/she represents or acts for; and

• Marketing Representative (MR), who undertakes marketing of fund management services and provide client support services.

5. Can an individual be registered for more than one activity at the same time?
Ans: A Registered Representative can only undertake one activity at a time either as TR or IR or MR.

Disclaimer clauses can protect you against civil suits.

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.

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
