Is it normal for brokers to ask whether I am a beginner?
In Canada, for example, they are expected or required to find out. They call it, The “Know Your Client” rule, part of which is knowing your "Investment knowledge and experience". They say it is, "to ensure their advice is suitable for you". I have always been given that kind of form to fill in, when opening an account.
