The following disclaimers apply when you access, use or visit any newsletters, publications, chatrooms, live sessions, seminars, webinars, video presentations, social media postings, applications, email communications, research reports, or any other educational and informative products, content, digital subscriptions, or features made available on the Site or Services.
20.1 RAGINGBULL IS NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVISOR OR REGISTERED BROKER; SALES COMMISSIONS.
Neither RagingBull nor any of its owners or employees is registered as a securities broker-dealer, broker, investment advisor (IA), or IA representative with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities regulatory authority, or any self-regulatory organization. Employees and Owners of RagingBull.com, LLC also known as LightningAlerts.com are paid in whole or in part by commission based on their sales of Services to subscribers.
20.2 The Services Are For Educational and Information Purposes Only; Not Personalized Investment Advice.
The Services or any communications made in connection with such Services are not, and should not be construed to be, personalized investment advice directed to or appropriate for any particular user or subscriber of our Services. Likewise, the Services or any communications made in connection with them should not be relied upon for purposes of making transactions in securities or holding any position in securities, nor should they be construed as an offer or solicitation to sell or buy any security. We cannot and do not assess, verify or guarantee the suitability or profitability of any particular investment.
RagingBull.com, LLC also known as LightningAlerts.com specifically disclaims any and all liability or loss arising out of any action taken in reliance on the Services, including but not limited to market value or other loss on the sale or purchase of any company, property, product, service, security, instrument or any other matter.
20.3 Use of Testimonials and Endorsements – Experiences Not Typical and Generally Expected Results Are Not Known.
RagingBull.com, LLC also known as LightningAlerts.com utilizes select unsolicited, unpaid testimonials depicting profitability that are believed to be true based on the representations of the persons voluntarily providing the testimonial. However, trading results have NOT BEEN VERIFIED and WE HAVE NO BASIS FOR BELIEVING THAT THE INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES DEPICTED ARE TYPICAL, especially given that trading results will vary widely given a variety of factors such as experience, skill, risk mitigation practices, market dynamics and the amount of capital deployed.
Raging Bull DOES NOT TRACK THE INDIVIDUAL TRADING RESULTS OF SUBSCRIBERS to our Services, and so we are NOT ABLE TO INDICATE OR ESTIMATE WHAT CONSTITUTES GENERALLY EXPECTED RESULTS in relation to subscribers using our Services. It is easy to lose money trading and we recommend educating yourself as much as possible before you even think about trying it
Raging Bull respects and follows 16 C.F.R. Part 255 and the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. As noted above, Raging Bull does not track the typical results of our current or past subscribers. As a provider of educational courses, we do not have access to the personal trading accounts or brokerage statements of our customers. Available research data suggests, however, that most day traders are not profitable.
For instance, in a 2019 study by Fernando Chague, Rodrigo De-Losso, and Bruno Giovannetti titled “Day Trading for a Living?”, 97% of day traders that traded at least 300 days between 2013 and 2015 in the Brazilian equity futures market (the third largest volume in the world) lost money, 0.4% earned more than $54 per day, and the top individual earned only $310 per day with great risk.
In a research paper published in 2014 titled “Do Day Traders Rationally Learn About Their Ability?”, professors from the University of California studied 3.7 billion trades from the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992-2006 and found that only 9.81% of day trading volume was generated by predictably profitable traders and that these predictably profitable traders constitute less than 3% of all day traders on an average day.
In a 2012 research paper titled “The Cross-Section of Speculator Skill: Evidence from Day Trading”, professors from the University of California, Davis, The University of California, Berkeley, and Peking University conclude that “Less than 1% of the total population of day traders is able to predictably and reliably earn positive abnormal returns net of fees”.
The range of results in these studies highlights the difficulty in determining a definitive success rate or even reliable inferences as to what constitutes “generally expected results” to be disclosed in relation to our customers’ testimonials and endorsements. Any statements of success or profitability should NOT be understood as typical.
20.4 Results Presented Are Not Verified or Typical; Actual Results Will Vary.
The Services may contain information regarding the historical trading performance of RagingBull.com, LLC's also known as LightningAlerts.com owners or employees. Please be aware that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and the results presented in the Services are NOT TYPICAL, AND SHOULD NOT BE UNDERSTOOD AS TYPICAL, OF RAGING BULL SUBSCRIBERS. Actual results will vary widely given a variety of factors such as experience, skill, risk mitigation practices, market dynamics and the amount of capital deployed.
20.5 Substantial Risk Involved; Seek Individual Professional Advice Before Investing.
Any individual who chooses to invest in any securities of the companies mentioned, referred to or profiled in the Services should do so with caution. Investing or transacting in any securities involves substantial risk; you may lose some, all, or possibly more than your original investment. Any subscriber or user of our Services bears responsibility for their own investment research and decisions, and should use information from the Services only as a starting point for doing additional independent research in order to allow individuals to form their own opinion regarding investments. It is easy to lose money trading, and we recommend always seeking individual advice from a licensed or registered professional and educating yourself as much as possible before considering any investments.
