MODERATORS
Idk if you have ever looked at or downloaded a retail trading app, something like Robinhood. All of them have a prominent “education” section which distills down to “don’t take our word for it; know what you are buying before you do.”
You are correct that people have a personal responsibility to be informed about the risks. However ALSO, marketers of the risky assets also have a responsibility to inform traders of their own investments and that risks are even possible when giving financial advice—this obviously is happening nowhere because no regulating body requires it.
This is why I don’t hold it against anyone in this situation for not informing themselves. They can’t inform themselves if they aren’t even told it might be necessary, and especially not when that “personal responsibility” you speak of is actively hidden from them.
Hope this makes sense :) appreciate the discussion
