TradingMarkets.com Editorial Policy
Our goal at TradingMarkets.com is to provide
you with timely and helpful information regarding the stock, futures, and option
markets. Our hope is that this information will enable you to better understand the
markets and improve your trading skills.
We want to stress that all the information
on the site is offered for educational purposes only. Although our content providers
are professional traders, they are NOT offering buy or sell recommendations on any
stock, future, or option they discuss in a commentary or update. For example, TradingMarkets.com
will never issue a recommendations to “buy company XYZ at 25 1/8, with a stop
at 24.” We will, at times discuss general price ranges, but only as they relate
to certain technical or fundamental market factors we feel are meaningful.
The content providers are simply offering
their opinions, in good faith. They may or may not have positions in any of the markets
they mention. For example, do not assume they are themselves long or short a particular
market, or recommend that you buy or sell a particular market, simply because they
express a bullish or bearish bias on that market. When they hold positions in particular
markets, they will attempt to avoid expressing any opinions that may unduly impact
these markets in any way. They do, however, reserve the right to express a bullish
or bearish opinion on a market in which they have a position if they believe their
opinion to be valid and truthful.
We want to avoid conflicts of interest
at all costs. Because our content providers may have positions in the markets they
discuss, and to help guarantee we are providing you reliable information, we have
established the following editorial guidelines.
First, because of the susceptibility of
thinly traded stocks to manipulation, we will rarely offer commentary or analysis
on stocks with average daily volume of less than 500,000 shares and we will make
note when we do so. Second, for similar reasons, we will rarely discuss stocks trading
under $3 per share.
We also ask our members to assist us by
avoiding discussion of such stocks on our message boards.
The accuracy and completeness of the information on this site is not guaranteed and
TradingMarkets.com, and all persons associated with TradingMarkets.com, accept no responsibility
and shall not be held liable for the outcome of your trades or investments.
