Raffi Ahmad: If You Are Not Sure About Investing In Stocks, Don't Be

JAKARTA - The stock investment fever that is now being carried out by many public figures has made a number of well-known figures feel compelled to give the right direction regarding this financial planning activity.

One trendsetter who feels he has a moral responsibility is Raffi Ahmad. The artist born in Bandung is known to have invested in shares. In uploading via his official Instagram account @ raffinagita1717, he provides some guidance on how to properly invest through this instrument.

"If you really want to (stock investment), you can trace it first, study it first, and check it first. If you believe go ahead. But if you don't believe it, don't, ”he said as quoted on Wednesday, January 6.

Raffi added that he really refused if someone placed their funds in certain issuers without knowing the fundamental and technical aspects of the company. This is because the risk profile of each individual is quite different.

"Anyway, don't be my factor. The point is in times like this we have to be smart in seeing the opportunities that exist, "he said.

As previously reported, the husband of Nagita Slavina is believed to have collected a number of shares from certain issuers. One of the things that was confirmed was when Raffi shared a story about himself investing in the shares of PT M Cash Integration Tbk. (MCAS).

However, he denied that this was part of an effort to boost the popularity of MCAS performance and endorse activities.

"Yesterday it was just sharing, and it was really excited. But again, I'm just an experience story, not an endorsement. (Incidentally) it was the first time I played shares in MCAS, ”he said.

Most recently, the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) capital market authority is reportedly going to 'summon' Raffi Ahmad regarding his activities on the stock exchange floor. Not only that, BEI also plans to invite popular singer Ari Lasso for the same agenda.

VOI confirmed from the Director of Trade and Assessment of IDX Members of the IDX, Laksono Widodo, that the capital market authority will invite them to discuss.

In his statement, Laksono said that public figures have a big moral responsibility as influencers.

"But it also needs to remind them of their moral responsibility for their followers and the potential for potential lawsuits from their followers if anyone can be disappointed," he said.
