April 22, 2022

This video can be viewed at the below link.[1]

April is Financial Capability Month. Investors across our country use our capital markets every day to prepare for retirement, save for education, or prepare for bumps along the way.

Today’s markets are complex and fast-moving. New technology makes it easier than ever to invest.

You might have that friend who’s constantly telling you about the latest hot stocks, or follow a celebrity who’s telling you they’re making a killing in crypto. With all the information out there, can you trust that the advice you’re receiving is designed to serve you—your best interests?

Whether you’re a new investor or an active trader, it is important to get investment information from unbiased sources and to understand the details of any investment before you invest.

Simply put: Be careful where you get your information.

During Financial Capability Month, I encourage you all to take the time you need when making investment decisions and take advantage of the free tools and unbiased information on www.investor.gov.
