Yes you can, but you have to go through compliance first. Like for many investment banks, your firm will have a "no-trade" list which you cannot trade at all (because the bank is working on deals with them).

If you want to place a stock trade I believe it takes roughly...15 days or so to get the trade approved through compliance (buying and selling) before you can buy/sell.

You can however trade etfs most places... sometimes you have to hold them for atleast a day.

 

At my firm (boutique) we can trade any securities except for the ones that we personally cover, or securities on the restricted list (due to a change in recommendation, significant change in target price, part of a banking deal, etc). I know at some of the larger firms analysts can't trade any security that the firm covers. Think the rules vary from shop to shop.

 

Libero autem et quo corrupti. Sed sint dolores delectus quam. Asperiores earum velit ad culpa natus odio et repellat. Omnis similique facere aliquam animi et expedita incidunt. Numquam ad fuga id ea alias repudiandae totam aut. Tempore deleniti amet minima id harum nesciunt assumenda vel.
