8. SPECIAL WARNING ON USE OF FINANCIAL MESSAGE BOARDS:

Please be aware that the Service includes information, views, opinions and recommendations of individuals from the general public who may remain largely anonymous while on our site and whose use of our site implies an interest in discussing and sharing information related to the stock market and/or other investments.   While we do not verify members’ credentials, it is very likely that many members are what one might call “do-it-yourself” retail investors and/or traders with little or no training, education, experience or any other specialized knowledge of the markets, investing or other financial matters. 

InvestorVillage™ assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, timeliness, completeness or usefulness of information available via the Service.   InvestorVillage™does not endorse any opinions or recommendations posted by members.  InvestorVillage™ does not give tax or investment advice.  InvestorVillage™ does not advocate the purchase or sale of any security or investment.

You should exercise discretion and skepticism when reading and weighing information posted on message boards and in other areas of our web site.  Such information may be incorrect or misleading. Members may pretend to be other than who or what they are.  Some members may have dishonest and/or deceitful intentions or may share inaccurate and misleading information.  You should make every reasonable effort and attempt to independently verify any and all claims made on this or any other message board service.  Before making any financial decisions you should consult a professional money manager or other financial advisor.  If you choose to rely on information posted by other members you do so solely at your own risk.

The Securities Exchange Commission has expressed concerns that the stock price for companies with small market capitalization (also known as "small cap", "micro cap" or "penny" stocks) may be particularly susceptible to manipulation. Therefore, you should carefully evaluate the information posted by other members about such stocks.  To learn more about what the SEC has to say with respect this matter, please visit http://www.sec.gov
