Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Why do I have to be a US citizen? Are EU citizens not gooed enough to be scammed?
Probably consumer protection...
Reddit is trying to profit off everyone they can, and these idiots are about to tie real name and contact info to their reddit profiles.
That makes the data reddit has much more valuable to people who buy data.
Europe has a shitload of requirements that shares must meet in order to be sold to your average private person, including stock info in your native language, and a proper risk assesment.
Bro if you want to lose money, you can just send it to me.
I'd move to Europ again to avoid this. Probably would be cheaper too.
Nope, needs more goo
It's a US company
That's not relevant to whether someone can buy stock. Lots of Europeans own stock in American companies.
Apparently it is, because Europeans cannot buy these stocks.
But feel free to inform me that they can.
That also has to have an address somewhere in Europe to operate in it. Do you think Facebook/Amazon/Microsoft dont have offices in the EU? Usually American companies will open European offices in Ireland because they have lower corporation taxes.
None of that changes the fact that it's a US based company.
