Great questions and here's what I was thinking:

- I'm not providing stock recommendations to you nor am I providing personalized investing information. Everyone has access to the same information on the platform and sees the same trades unlike financial advisors.

- It's not setup to auto trade at the moment (and likely won't be in the future) for that edge case in specific. You have the option to click on the trade, and replicate it in your own brokerage.

- Agreed that this can have influences on the market like we saw in r/WSB. I think the more optimistic approach here however is this being another source of insight to help you make investing decisions. E.g. "I'm considering buying $XYZ. Who else owns it that I follow and trust?". This information is verified too so it's not like Reddit where people have the ability to lie and post whatever they want.

Would love to learn more about your public/private account play/scheme. Can I DM you to learn how it worked? I figure that the volume needs to be quite high no?

Here is a great example of something similar, see:

Here you have someone where some of the trades is public. Just the fact that they make such trades in the public eye has an effect on the market.
