Question
I am a day trader in stocks on foreign markets. My question is, is it permissible to buy/sell stocks during the holiday, or is there a concern of chametz (every company has chametz, and when I buy stocks, I have partial ownership in the company)?
Answer
Hello,
It is forbidden to trade chametz on Passover; this prohibition also includes ownership of stocks and similar items.
One should sell the stocks that have a concern of chametz in the sale of chametz.
