The bottom line is that trading is a risky endeavor – if it were so easy, everyone would be doing it and making money.  Please read this disclaimer very carefully and consult with your financial professional or adviser before making any trading or investment decision.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS REQUIRE DISCLOSURE OF THE FACT THAT WHILE THESE METHODS MAY HAVE WORKED IN THE PAST, PAST RESULTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. WHILE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR PROFITS THERE IS ALSO A RISK OF LOSS. A LOSS INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH TRADING FUTURES CONTRACTS CAN BE SIGNIFICANT. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION SINCE ALL SPECULATIVE TRADING IS INHERENTLY RISKY AND SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY INDIVIDUALS WITH ADEQUATE RISK CAPITAL.

THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL RISK IN TRADING. A LOSS INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH FUTURES TRADING CAN BE SIGNIFICANT. NEITHER AFRAID TO TRADE NOR COREY ROSENBLOOM  MAKES NO CLAIMS WHATSOEVER REGARDING PAST OR FUTURE PERFORMANCE. ALL EXAMPLES, DIAGRAMS, DISCUSSIONS, LESSONS, OR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FOR EDUCATIONAL OR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.

Any trades or hedges you make are taken at your own risk for your own account. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. While there is great potential for reward trading commodity futures, stocks, ETFs, options, and FOREX, there is also substantial risk of loss in all types of market trading. You must decide your own suitability to trade. Future trading results can never be guaranteed. This is not an offer to buy or sell futures, options or commodity interests.  Neither Corey Rosenbloom nor Afraid to Trade is a licensed investment adviser or commodity trading adviser nor is licensed as such with any federal or state regulatory agency.  Corey Rosenbloom has received the Chartered Market Technician professional designation from the Market Technicians Association, but this is not the same as a state or federal license. Afraid to Trade does not manage client assets in any way.  Afraid to Trade is an educational service, not an advisory or stock recommendation service.  At times, Corey Rosenbloom will analyze the technical structure (chart) of various stocks or financial markets, but he is in no way compensated by the companies he  analyzes either in reports or daily commentaries.  All examples are provided for educational purposes.

Corey Rosenbloom and Afraid to Trade relies upon the “publisher’s exclusion” from the definition of “investment adviser” as provided under Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and corresponding state securities laws. To the extent any of the content published on the website including e-mail transmissions, faxes, recorded voice messages, and any other associated messages/media (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Information”) may be deemed to be investment advice, such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person. The information contained within this Web site, including e-mail transmissions, faxes, recorded voice messages, and any other associated messages/media (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Information”) is provided for informational and educational purposes only. The Information should not be construed as investment/trading advice and is not meant to be a solicitation or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any securities mentioned.

A portion of text is hereby included from the Securities and Exchange Commissions description of “Newsletters:”
However, expressly excluded from the definition is “the publisher of bona fide newspaper, news magazine or business or financial publication of general and regular circulation.”

Section 401(f) of the Uniform Securities Act, upon which the majority of state securities laws are based, similarly excludes from the definition of investment adviser “a publisher of any bona fide newspaper, news column, newsletter, news magazine, or business or financial publication or service, whether communicated in hard copy form, or by electronic means, or otherwise, that does not consist of the rendering of advice on the basis of the specific investment situation of each client.”

Since a bona fide newsletter publisher is not an investment adviser, registration as such is not required. However, Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77q(b)) prohibits any person from publishing, giving publicity to, or circulating any notice, circular, advertisement, newspaper, article, letter, investment service or communication which describes a security for a consideration received or to be received, directly or indirectly, from an issuer, underwriter or dealer, without fully disclosing the receipt, whether past or prospective, of such consideration and the amount thereof.
