3. Important Securities Disclaimer

You understand and acknowledge that no content published on the Site constitutes an investment advice or recommendation regarding any security, portfolio of securities or investment strategy. Content published on the Site is for informational purposes only.

The Site does not provide tax, legal, insurance or investment advice, and nothing on the Site should be construed as an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security by Hedder, any author or any third party. You alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for you based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation and for evaluating the merits and risks associated with the use of the information on the Site before making any decisions based on such information or other content.  You should consult an attorney or tax professional regarding your specific legal or tax situation.

No recommendation or advice is being given as to whether any investment is suitable for a particular investor.
