I write to entertain myself and to keep a record of my thoughts on stuff that I’m interested in, including value investments, contrarian investments, technical trades, mechanical trading systems, politics from the anarcho-capitalist point of view, and current events. If you enjoy it, that’s great, if not, then why are you reading this? Are you a masochist? What gives? Freak!
Nothing on this page should be construed as personal advice, on investing or anything else, and at all times you are responsible for your own actions and you should perform your own due diligence. I’m not an investment professional, and you should probably consult with one, in addition to doing your own due diligence, before making any investment decisions. Past performance is not an indicator of future results. This is some risky shit here! You could lose your ass! Heck, I could lose my ass, and then where would I sit? Trust me, I sit on my ass a lot, and I would miss having it around!
I may have a beneficial position in any potential investment I mention. My positions in, and opinions of, those potential investments may change over time. I have no obligation to reveal those positions, and if I should reveal those positions, I am under no obligation to notify you, though this site or through any other means, if I change those positions. I’m writing this for me, not for you.
While I do try to verify much of the data presented, I can make mistakes. In fact, I could wind up getting wrong data from a third party! Man, that would really suck! So I really can’t, and won’t, be held liable for incorrect or erroneous data presented in text, table, chart, or other format. That’s another reason why you should consult with an investment professional, in addition to doing your own due diligence, before making any investment decisions.
Modeling is prone to error, and no model is perfect. Even Cindy Crawford had a mole! The output from statistical or predictive modeling should be taken with a big grain of salt.
Fundamental analysis is based on examinations of company filings such as income and cash flow statements, balance sheets, quarterly and annual filings, proxies, and the like. Just because they look good right now doesn’t mean they will in the future. Heck, the bastards could be lying! I might miss stuff hidden in those filings, or misinterpret something I read from them! Investing has some serious risks!
Technical analysis is based on the study of historical price, volume, and sentiment data over time. Past performance is no guarantee, and there are no certainties hidden in patterns, charts, indicators, or formulae.
FundaTechnical analysis involves those items which mix elements of Fundamental and Technical analysis, including valuation metrics such as the Price/Book or Price/Earnings ratios. Therefore all the warnings for both Fundamental and Technical analysis apply.
Take responsibility for your own actions. If I lose a lot of money in the financial markets, I’m just gonna man up about it and not go blaming some blogger for it, and I suggest you do the same.
