What is a stock delisting?

A stock delisting occurs when a publicly traded company's shares are removed from the stock exchange. This could happen for various reasons, such as the company failing to meet listing requirements, going private, or undergoing a merger or acquisition. When a stock is delisted, it can no longer be bought or sold on the exchange. However, it may still be possible to trade the shares over-the-counter (OTC) or through private transactions, depending on the circumstances.

By following these steps, you'll be able to gather more information and make informed decisions about delisted stocks or shares.

InvestSMART is pleased to announce that its two-factor authentication (2FA) - or two-step verification security system is now live across all its portfolio platforms, and the Intelligent Investor site.

What is 2FA?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) - or two-step verification - is a security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your account. Instead of using a single factor to authenticate your identity, like a password, you can use a second, one-time code sent to you via SMS or generated in an authenticator mobile application like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy

How do I enable 2FA?

The 2FA system is opt-in. To activate it, please read the following steps.

You can click here to go directly to this feature or click on the ‘My Account’ button in the top right corner and then on the My Account Tab. You will see the third option down the list is Two-Factor Authentication.

There are two different 2FA methods to choose from:

  1. Get a code via SMS/text or

  2. Generate a code via an Authenticator Application like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy.

You can choose both methods. If you enable both, the authenticator app will be used as the primary method.

Method for turning on the SMS/Text Message.

  1. Turn on the SMS/Text Message toggle.

  2. An SMS/text is sent to your mobile device with a code

  3. Enter the code and click the “Verify & Save Setting” button.

  4. An ‘All Done’ message will appear confirming your SMS authentication is set up

Method for turning on the Authenticator Application

  1. Turn on the Authenticator Application toggle

  2. Download the Authenticator of choice and then use the generated QR code

  3. Enter the code and click the “Verify Code” button.

  4. An ‘All Done’ message will appear confirming your Authenticator App is set up

Once you have activated your two-factor authentication (2FA), you will now have an extra step at login. As usual, your first step will be entering your email and password combination. The second step will require you to enter a valid 2FA code from either the SMS you receive or generate the code via your authenticator app of choice.

Please be aware that you can:

  • Select the “Don’t ask again on this device for 30 days” option.

    • Choosing this means a 2FA code won’t be required for 30 days.

    • Your login process will be as usual on that particular device/browser.

  • With 2FA enabled, you should be able to bypass the Google reCAPTCHA process.
