Problem With These Disclaimers

The problem with all of these disclaimers is that they hint at the fact that they have received compensation directly or indirectly but never indicate the amount of thecompensation which is unlawful. If you come across any such statements, then be aware that the publisher is not giving an impartial professional analysis of the company that he or she is recommending. He or she is being compensated to promote the stock. Our only advice: stay away or invest and be prepared to lose money.
