About Investor's Journey

Investor's Journey provides educational and (hopefully) entertaining content and information related to investing and financial markets. This Disclosures page outlines important information about our business practices, potential conflicts of interest, and the nature of our content.

About the Author

Hi, Michael here. All content, unless otherwise noted, is authored by yours truly. My work is my own. I create and produce each piece of content based on what I believe will educate, entertain and help people become better long-term investors. My opinions are always my own. And as much as I try to have a purely objective approach, I acknowledge I have personal biases that are bound to influence the views expressed in the content.

Limitations of Experience

I am not a licensed investment professional. I maintain no formal certifications and have no intention of changing that. I'm simply passionate about long-term investing and hope that the content I create is educational, entertaining and helfpul in some meaningful way to those who consume it.

And with that context out of the way, please see below for important, intentionally-not-entertaining Disclosures regarding Investor's Journey.

Not Financial Advice

Educational Content Only

The information provided on our website, in our newsletters, and in our digital products is for general informational, educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing contained in our Services constitutes:

  • Financial advice
  • Investment recommendations
  • Securities recommendations
  • Legal advice
  • Tax advice
  • Accounting advice

No Professional-Client Relationship

No professional-client, fiduciary, or advisory relationship is created by your use of our Services or purchase of our products. We are not registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or any state securities regulatory authority.

Consult Qualified Professionals

Before making any investment decisions, you should consult with qualified financial, legal, or tax professionals who can provide advice tailored to your specific circumstances, investment objectives, and risk tolerance.

Risk Disclosure

General Investment Risks

All investments involve risk, and the potential for profit is accompanied by the potential for loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment will either be suitable or profitable for your investment portfolio.

Market Volatility

Financial markets can be volatile and unpredictable. Market conditions can change rapidly in response to economic, political, or social events. The value of investments can decrease as well as increase, and you may not recover the amount originally invested.

Individual Securities Risks

When we discuss individual securities or investment opportunities:

  • These discussions are not recommendations to buy or sell
  • We may not disclose all risks associated with the investments
  • The securities mentioned may not be suitable for all investors
  • The information may be incomplete or outdated at the time you access it

Affiliate Relationships

Compensation Disclosure

Our website contains affiliate links to products or services offered by third parties. We may receive compensation when you click on these links and/or purchase products or services. This compensation may influence which products or services we write about and where and how they appear on our website.

Please note that we adhere to a strict set of Ethics which you are encouraged to read about in our Ethics Statement.

Due Diligence

While we make efforts to recommend products that we believe may be of value to our readers, you should do your own research and exercise due diligence before purchasing any product or service mentioned on our website.

Content Sources and Research Methods

Information Sources

The information provided through our Services is obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of this information. We use a combination of:

  • Publicly available data
  • Industry research
  • News reports
  • Personal analysis

Research Methodology

Our analysis and content creation process involves collecting and synthsizing information from various sources to generate what we believe to be quality, helpful content. We strive to provide well-researched content but encourage you to verify any critical information by doing your own independent research.

Holdings Disclosure

Personal Investments

We may own positions in securities discussed on our website or in content produced for other platforms (YouTube, podcast, etc.) and commit to disclosing our ownership position in a manner that is transparent and obvious.

Holdings Updates

Information about our holdings may not be current or complete at the time you read the content. We are not obligated to update previously published content when our positions or opinions change.

Performance Claims

Hypothetical Results

Any performance results, examples, or case studies described in our Services:

  • May be hypothetical and not actual results
  • May not represent returns that any investor actually achieved
  • Include assumptions that may not be realistic

Backtested Performance

Backtested performance is NOT an indicator of future results. Backtested performance is developed with the benefit of hindsight and has inherent limitations, including:

  • Results do not reflect actual trading
  • They do not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on decision-making
  • They can be selected to show optimal performance
  • Actual results may differ significantly from backtested performance

Testimonials and Endorsements

If we share testimonials or endorsements:

  • They may not be representative of all clients' experiences
  • They are not indicative of future performance or success

Privacy and Data Collection

Please refer to our Privacy Notice for information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Updates to This Disclosure

We may update this Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our disclosures.
