Please understand that I am not an investment advisor, registered or otherwise. I may mention particular companies in one regard or another but that does not constitute a recommendation that anyone buy or sell the securities of such a company. I may buy or sell securities that I write about either before or after I post comments on said securities. You should do your own research before making any investment decision. If you chose to invest in ways similar to my own decisions and if such investments result in losses, you are wholly responsible, not me. Also, be sure that you take personal credit if your investments are successful.
