So, friends are asking me when I will start my first trade as a lucky speculator, I guess they just can’t wait to see how I lose my $25,000 J

Well, be patient my friends, LuckySpeculator.com is not really ready yet.  For one, I think I might need to put up some kind of disclaimer to make sure I am not legally exposed...  so I googled for some disclaimer and below are some of what I found, make sure you read them before you start reading my blog:

  1. Disclaimer 1: This is not investment advice. Do your own homework before investing in anything.

The venue for resolution of any dispute related to this blog shall be the planet Uranus and the laws applicable, both procedural and substantive, shall be the laws of the planet Uranus  
  3. Disclaimer 3: This is not investment advice. It is merely what one knows nothing is irresponsibly doing with his own money.
  4. Disclaimer 4: Trading stocks involves risk; this information should not be viewed as trading recommendations. The blog articles and charts provided here are not meant for investment purposes and only serve as technical example.

Here are some text I stole from fool.com and modified for my blog, LuckySpeculator.com:

The LuckySpeculator.com does not guarantee the veracity, reliability or completeness of any information provided on LuckySpeculator.com or in any hyperlink appearing on our site. No one could read through the thousands of messages/comments I receive each day, check out all the hyperlinked web sites, and research each one for accuracy. That isn't why I’m here. Nor am I here to give you hot "tips," to make "buy" or "sell" recommendations, or to tell you what to do with your money. I’m here to share my personal investment and finance decisions only, and to have fun.

You are responsible for your own investment decisions. The LuckySpeculator.com will not be responsible for any errors or omissions in articles or postings, for hyperlinks embedded in messages, or for any results obtained from the use of such information. The LuckySpeculator.com will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a reader's reliance on information obtained in our area, or in a hyperlinked area. If you don't accept this responsibility for yourself, then you should not use The LuckySpeculator.com.

If you ignore my advice to do independent research of industries, companies, and stocks, choosing instead to trade solely on information, "tips," or opinions found in this blog, you have made a conscious, willing, free, and personal decision to do so. You have also probably made a mistake.

As cyberspace develops, the freedom and openness from which we all profit can make us the target of touts, hypesters, and frauds. These people could infect my blog, just as they infect other parts of the world. Please proceed with caution and do your homework. And remember: when you access one of these hyperlinked web sites, you're leaving my area so be wary of those who post hyperlinks to strange web sites.

 

…Well, I think now I am legally protected with all these legal disclaimers.  So, I should start trading soon!!  Stay tune…
