Disclaimer / Risk disclosure statement

Information, commentary, or opinions expressed by The Fed Trader website and/or Bill Pritchard is provided for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice nor buy and sell recommendations.   Bill Pritchard is not a financial advisor, investment advisor, CPA, CFP, stock broker, or similar person.  Bill Pritchard does not have any SEC, federal, or state securities or broker licenses/certifications.  Bill Pritchard and/or the The Fed Trader website cannot promise or guarantee any investment returns or make claimed performance.

This website is dedicated to trading and investment strategies as they relate to the federal Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) .

This information on this website is entertainment only and any investment decisions you make are at your own risk.

This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading in stocks, equities, mutual funds, ETFs, commodities, currencies, retirement accounts, and other similar products.  In light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of the trading activity/investing activity and contracts (and contractual relationships) into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk.  Trading and/or investing is not suitable for many members of the public.  You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.

Customers should never fund their trading or investment activities with retirement savings, loans, second mortgages, emergency funds, funds set aside for purposes such as education or home ownership, or funds required for current income or present or future medical expenses.

The risk of loss in trading stocks, equities, mutual funds, ETFs, commodities and other similar products can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.

The use of leverage that is often obtainable in trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.

In some cases, brokerage accounts, commodity accounts, retirement accounts, IRA’s, and similar trading accounts are subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. It may be necessary for those accounts that are subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets.

An investment advisor, financial planner, stock broker, commodities trading advisor, or similar individual cannot promise or guarantee specific returns or make claim to a specific level of performance.  Any such claim, statement, or promise is unethical and is to be avoided.

This site does not make any claim to be a stock broker, investment advisor, financial planner, or similar person.  This site nor the operator of this site makes any claim or conveys any message that it/he is a securities firm, brokerage firm, or securities representative.

Nothing contained on this website constitutes tax, legal, insurance or investment advice, or the recommendation of or an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or invest in, any investment product, vehicle, service or instrument. Such an offer or solicitation may only be made by delivery to a prospective investor of formal offering materials, including subscription or account documents or forms, which include detailed discussions of the terms of the respective product, vehicle, service or instrument, including the principal risk factors that might impact such a purchase or investment, and which should be reviewed carefully by any such investor before making the decision to invest. Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, before acquiring the shares of any mutual fund, it is your responsibility to read the fund’s prospectus. Links on this website to appearances and articles by TheFedTrader.com, Bill Pritchard, or others, whether in the press, on television or otherwise, are provided for informational purposes only and in no way should be considered a recommendation of any particular investment product, vehicle, service or instrument or the rendering of investment advice, which must always be evaluated by a prospective investor in consultation with his or her own financial adviser and in light of his or her own circumstances, including the investor’s investment horizon, appetite for risk, and ability to withstand a potential loss of some or all of an investment’s value. Investing is an inherently risky activity, and investors must always be prepared to potentially lose some or all of an investment’s value. Past performance is, of course, no guarantee of future results.

By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the posted disclaimers and release TheFedTrader.Com, Bill Pritchard, any and all affiliates, members, officers, employees, representatives, guest writers, and others from any and all liability whatsoever relating to your use of this site or of any such links, or any information contained herein or in any such appearances or articles (whether accessed through such links or downloaded directly from this website) on this website.
