Infrequently asked questions you may want to know the answer to anyway:
- How do we know we can trust you? By reading our articles over time you should be able to see whether we are insightful or full of it.
- Do you have any conflicts of interest? Of course. Here is how we resolve them:
- Stock ownership: Positions in any stock mentioned in Stock Market Beat will be disclosed.
- Compensation: I intend, if possible, to cover the costs of operating this site through advertisements, affiliate programs and other sources. In the event that direct compensation is received from a company mentioned that will be disclosed. In the case of indirect compensation (for example revenue generated through a third party such as ads placed by Google) no additional disclosure will be practical.
