TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Weiss Research, Inc. is strictly a research publishing
firm and does not provide individual investment advice to its subscribers. The information
we publish is based on our opinions plus our statistical and financial data and
independent research. Although we make every effort to provide the most accurate
and updated information possible, our information cannot take into consideration
your personal finances and goals, and therefore is not intended to be used as customized
recommendation to buy, hold, or sell securities, or engage in any trading strategy.
Such recommendations may only be made by a personal advisor or the broker you select.
Investing in any short-term trading strategy is considered speculative and involves
risk of loss. Although this service makes every effort to protect your principal,
you can lose money. Therefore, it is not for all of your funds. If your goal for
a certain portion of your funds is strictly capital preservation, we believe you
should invest those funds in conservative investments such as short-term US Treasury
securities or equivalent. For more information on prudent investing, see also the
information available at the websites of the Securities and Exchange Commission
at www.sec.gov and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority at www.FINRA.org.
Any money
you allocate to speculative investments such as options should be strictly the money
you can afford to risk without jeopardizing your daily life, and without negatively
impacting your plans for education, retirement, or long-term care. For more important
information on options, please read the information in Characteristics and Risks
of Standardized Options available at www.theocc.com,
the Options Clearing Corporation.
Most of the information we publish is derived from primary sources, including the
U.S. government agencies as well as the financial institutions or publicly traded
companies we cover. We believe our data sources are accurate, but we do not verify
their accuracy independently. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the information
is accurate or complete. Nor do we guarantee the success of any investment decision
you may make using our data, information, or recommendations.
To help us track the performance of this service, subscribers are asked to give
their brokers' permission to share statements with us strictly for the purpose of
substantiating the results of the trading. If broker documents are available on
a particular trade, we use them to calculate the net, after-commission profits on
the trade. Naturally, the results of each subscriber may differ depending on the
actual prices achieved and the commissions paid. If broker documents are not available
on a trade, we estimate the pre-commission gains based on the market prices following
the publication of each recommendation. In addition, examples of potential performance
returns may sometimes be based on simulated -- not actual -- trades, assuming entry
and exit prices that could have been obtained during regular market conditions.
These entry and exit prices calculated do not reflect or include costs of spreads,
market delays, or fees and commissions. Similar returns may or may not be actually
achieved by subscribers.
While every effort is made to evaluate the actual experience of subscribers, most
performance figures must be considered hypothetical, and past results are no guarantee
of future performance. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain
inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do
not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed,
the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain
market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general
are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.
No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits
or losses similar to those shown.
References to examples of past performance are not intended to provide a total picture
of portfolio results. Your results may vary considerably depending on a series of
factors, including: (a) when you begin or cease investing, (b) which recommendations
you choose to act on, (c) how much money you choose to invest in each recommendation,
(d) the specific prices you get, (e) the broker commissions you pay, (f) the interest
income you earn on uninvested funds, and (g) the number and magnitude of losing
or winning trades you experience. For best overall results long term, it is recommended
that you use options investing as a hedge against possible losses in other investments
you may own.
