A term used by degenerates who want the credibility and reputation of an actual financial advisor but
don't want the accountability and liability that comes along with it. Mainly used by room temperature
IQ individuals on
TikTok, Youtube, Twitter, etc under the age 21 who probably
don't even have a degree, CFA, or any knowledge about basic economics yet feel the need to give financial advice.
You can find them on social media using terms like #ToTheMoon #Stonks #DiamondHands and bandwagoning the latest
hype stock or meme crypto and then never to be seen again until another
hype stock is talked about by the masses as they
don't know anything else about the financial
world other than riding the current trend.
They are somewhat related to furus (fake gurus) who want to sell you $1000 courses on stock market education you could probably find on the
internet with a few minutes of research. These
wannabe financial advisors love to talk about meme stocks and cryptos as well as telling
people to #BuyTheDip or #HODL #DoNotSell while still putting in their disclaimer "All posts are opinions and I do not give buy, hold, or sell recommendations."
The problem with these fake advisors is that they think saying they aren't financial advisors creates a loophole where they can't be held liable for their advice. This is literally the same concept as using copyrighted material and saying "No copyright infringement intended" which completely contradicts their statement.
Actual financial advisor: I use highly complex algorithms and statistical modeling to determine accurate probabilities on my investments and can show you that investing in the
S&P500 index has proven to give around a 10% return for the past 10 years
Wannabe financial advisor: stonks go brrr,
doge to the
moon, buy the
dip guys, apes strong together *loses life savings after yoloing it on 0 day expiration options*
Actual financial advisor: This person definitely has "I am not a financial advisor" in their
bio
