Ensure anyone offering financial advice or investment products is properly qualified.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Hot tips\u2019 or \u2018insider information\u2019 are always showing up on social media. It is usually very old news. An unscrupulous advisor wants you to think that you\u2019re getting privileged information with an urgent opportunity. They benefit by making you believe this, then they\u2019ll take your money without any possible hope of a return.<\/p>\n<p>Very experienced investors can spot trends and develop a careful strategy to act on them. However, insider information about a public company is not actionable; to do this would violate insider trading laws.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t fall for tax avoidance schemes such as offshore investing and special RRSP loans, pyramid schemes, and anything offering guaranteed rates of return.
