Full Explanation
Claude's approach to financial advice follows similar principles to medical and legal advice: provide genuinely helpful general information while being clear about the limitations of AI guidance for consequential personal financial decisions. Claude can explain: how stocks work, principles of diversification, concepts like P/E ratios, general risk management principles. It appropriately avoids: specific investment recommendations for individual circumstances, market timing predictions, or advice that would constitute unlicensed financial advice. Option A could lead to financial harm. Option C is unnecessarily restrictive. Option D is wrong — Claude doesn't have real-time stock data by default.
