1. No Financial Advice
The Company is not a Registered Investment Advisor, Broker/Dealer, Financial Analyst, Financial Bank, Securities Broker or Financial Planner. The Information on the Site is provided for information purposes only. The Information is not intended to be and does not constitute financial advice or any other advice, is general in nature and not specific to you. Before using the Company’s information to make an investment decision, you should seek the advice of a qualified and registered securities professional and undertake your own due diligence. None of the information on our Site is intended as investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as a recommendation, endorsement, or sponsorship of any security, Company, or fund. The Company is not responsible for any investment decision made by you. You are responsible for your own investment research and investment decisions.
2. Disclosure Policy
The Company's affiliates or associates and/or its employees may hold positions in securities that are described on the Site. They may, from time to time, hold positions consistent or inconsistent with information contained on the Site, have no obligation to notify Subscribers in any way regarding said positions and shall have no liability to Subscribers that relates in any way to said positions. Their affiliation or relationship to the Company or its Subscribers shall in no way limit the positions they may hold or when they may hold them.
3. Risk Disclosure
There is a substantial amount of risk in trading securities, and the possibility exists that you can lose all, most or a portion of your capital. The Company does not,
cannot and will not assess or guarantee the suitability or profitability of any particular investment, or the potential value of any investment or informational source. The securities mentioned on our Site may not be suitable for investors depending on their specific investment objectives and financial condition. The information provided by the Company, including but not limited to its opinion and analyses, is based on financial models believed to be reliable but is not guaranteed, represented or warranted to be accurate or complete. The charts depict the results of our models and are not influenced by any other factors except the updated parameters which the models use. The models’ signals should not be construed to be investment advice. The information may contain forward-looking statements about various economic trends and strategies. You are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and actual results could be materially different. There are no guarantees associated with any forecast and the opinions stated here could be wrong due to false signals from the models, or the models being incorrectly structured, incorrectly updated and/or incorrectly interpreted. The signals, forecasts, the Site and Company’s products and services, only express our opinion of various securities. Our opinion will be wrong at times because of the limitations of investment analysis. Investment analysis, whether fundamental, technical or any other form of investment analysis, can not predict the future and is not a science that predicts precise and accurate results. Your use of any information from the Site is at your own risk and without recourse against the Company, its owners, directors, officers, employees or content providers.
4. Backtesting
The information from the Site is based on financial models, and trading signals are generated mathematically. All of the signals, timing systems, and forecasts are the result of backtesting, and are therefore merely hypothetical. Trading signals or forecasts used to produce our results were derived from equations which were developed through hypothetical reasoning based on a variety of factors. Theoretical buy and sell methods were tested against the past to prove the profitability of those methods in the past. Performance generated through back testing has many and possibly serious limitations. We do not claim that the historical performance of the Company’s timing systems, signals or forecasts will be indicative of future results. There will be substantial and possibly extreme differences between historical performance and future performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. There is no guarantee that out-of-sample performance will match that of prior in-sample performance. The Company does not claim or warrant that its timing systems, signals, forecasts, opinions or analyses are consistent, logical or free from hindsight or other bias or that the data used to generate signals in the backtests was available to investors on the dates for which theoretical signals were generated.
