KATHMANDU, Dec 9: The Clubhouse, a social media platform, has lately emerged as a hub for stock market gossip, with a select group of individuals using it to manipulate ordinary investors into buying and selling shares.
Additionally, some investors have formed groups on Facebook, charging fees to influence stock transactions. The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has taken a strong exception to such activities conducted through social media networks, warning of stern action against those involved in such activities.
