This site is run by Travis Johnson, who is not an investment adviser, registered or otherwise, and is not privy to your portfolio and your personal needs.

You should not consider the writing here to consist in any way of investment advice, and you should speak with your own adviser and do your own research before making any investment decisions. Most writing on this site consists of individual research and analysis by the author, and though the research is believed to be accurate there is no guarantee that it is always so. The author will always disclose within the text of an article any investment interest in the stocks, companies, or other investment vehicles mentioned, but such interest will not be updated for older articles in the event that the author’s investment interests change.

The author will not trade in any security written about for a minimum of three days (72 hours) following publication of a new article, except for existing orders that were in place before the article’s submission (any such orders will also always be disclosed in the article). This includes equity, options, debt, or other instruments directly related to that security, stock, or company. The author may have small indirect positions in some companies mentioned due to holdings in mutual funds, ETFs, Closed End Funds or other similar vehicles, and there is no guarantee that the author is aware of the individual portfolios of any of those funds at any given time. Such indirect holdings will generally not be disclosed.
