At MyWallSt Ltd., when it comes to matters of money, we believe in transparency and accountability. Day in and day out, we dedicate ourselves to delivering responsible investing ideas and sound financial education. That's why, when it comes to talking about stocks, we think it's important that you know exactly where we're coming from. With this in mind, we have developed a company-wide disclosure policy to guide our business and communications. We invite you to take some time to read through it, and hope it helps inform your experience with MyWallSt.
MyWallSt is a company that represents investors teaching and learning from other investors. Many financial publications do not permit their writers and editors to own stocks. MyWallSt not only permits, but also encourages its staff to invest in common stock. Why? Two reasons.
First, we strongly believe the most effective way to create wealth is through the long-term ownership of stocks. The stock market has compounded 10% average annual returns over the last century. We believe in using the stock market as a savings bank, and we strongly encourage treating money management as a lifelong endeavor. Therefore, we think it'd be downright mean of us to close that avenue of investment to our employees.
Second, and more important, we don't consider our employees to be journalists, but rather communicators and teachers of financial matters. It's a subtle but critical difference that affects our entire service -- from our online site at mywallst.com, to our investment apps & services, our podcasts and ebooks. As a company, we utilize every available medium to teach people of all ages, all income levels, all backgrounds, and all genetic codes about money and its applications in modern life. Therefore, we believe our staff's involvement in managing their own money is critical to their learning more about the subject and their succeeding in their own lives. And who better to write about investing than those who do it themselves?
MyWallSt writes about stocks in both free and paid content. We will disclose our recommendation or ownership until we cease to recommend the stock, or we sell our entire position. Of course, in both free and paid content we will continue to disclose whether the author has an interest in the stocks mentioned.
Internally, MyWallSt has always strived to operate with the highest levels of integrity and transparency. As such, here are the key components of MyWallSt’s disclosure policy:
• When a writer writes about a stock that he or she has a position or beneficial interest in, that fact is disclosed at the end of the article.
• All MyWallSt employees are required to publicly disclose their current individual positions
• Affiliates of MyWallSt may provide individualized investment advice and investment products. These companies may recommend or hold securities mentioned in our publications. Editorial personnel have no knowledge of any affiliates' holdings and/or specific recommendations, and the affiliates' personnel have no knowledge of any editorial content before it is published. Our affiliate companies may also have their own disclosure policies, which they may make available on their respective sites.
In addition to the above disclosure requirements, MyWallSt employees work under additional trading restrictions and guidelines. These restrictions require that they:
• Must hold any stock they own for at least 10 days. (No day trading allowed -- as if we'd want to!)
• Cannot write about a stock in the period of 2 market days before to 2 market days after purchasing or selling the stock.
• Must notify our compliance department every time they buy or sell a stock, regardless of whether they have written about it.
We have business relationships with an ever-changing assortment of companies, including technology vendors, leasing companies, data providers, banks, distribution channels, advertisers, landlords, accountants, and legal advisors. Many of these companies are public companies operating in industries that we follow. There may be instances in which one of our services recommends a company with whom we have a business relationship. These occurrences are unintentional and coincidental, as the business end of MyWallSt has no input or influence on the editorial side of things.
We have designed our disclosure and trading guidelines to serve our community, our customers, and our employees fairly. As always, though, you should remember to consider every piece of investment information you receive, here at MyWallSt or elsewhere, not as a de facto recommendation, but as an idea for further consideration. Even the strongest disclosure policy in the world does not excuse individuals from taking responsibility for their own decisions. Due diligence, critical thought, and use of the most extraordinary device in the world (the human brain) are crucial to your financial success.
FINRA has provided its own insights into how to invest carefully in this new, electronic world and NASAA also provides tips on how not to fall prey to online investment schemes. The SEC, FINRA and the NASAA maintain outstanding websites at http://www.sec.gov and http://www.finra.org, and http://www.nasaa.org respectively.
The fundamental concept is that you should NOT rely upon the information or opinions you read. Rather, you should use what you read here as starting points for doing independent research on companies and investing techniques. Then judge for yourself the merits of the material that has been shared in our forum.
MyWallSt is not here to give you hot "tips," to make "buy" or "sell" recommendations, or to tell you what to do with your money. We're here to help you to learn how to make investment and personal finance decisions for yourself, and to have fun.
You are responsible for your own investment decisions. MyWallSt will not be responsible for any errors or omissions in articles or postings, for hyperlinks embedded in messages, or for any results obtained from the use of such information. MyWallSt will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a reader's reliance on information obtained in our assets. If you don't accept this responsibility for yourself, then you should not use MyWallSt.
If you ignore our advice to do independent research of industries, companies, and stocks, choosing instead to trade solely on information, "tips," or opinions found in our forum, you have made a conscious, willing, free, and personal decision to do so. You have also probably made a mistake.
In the material and data that we make available on our sites and apps, we rely on a wide variety of sources. We believe these sources of data to be accurate and reliable, but sometimes they may not be. MyWallSt makes no claims or representations as to the accuracy, completeness, or truth of any material contained in our areas. Nor is MyWallSt liable for any errors or delays in the content or transmission of the data on platforms. We promise not to lie to you, but we reserve the right to be wrong or even stupid.
The MyWallSt website and apps are designed to help customers obtain financial information to support their investment and personal financial decisions. This information is sometimes provided by our staff and sometimes by others.
