STOCK MARKET NERD DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Updated May 2024

At Stock Market Nerd, we value transparency and responsibility when it comes to financial content. That’s why we believe it’s crucial for you to understand our perspectives on stocks and other investment products. To ensure clarity, we provide you with this Disclosure Statement containing information about our business and communications. We encourage you to review it, as it will enhance your experience by providing valuable insights.

Investors Learning from Investors

STOCK MARKET NERD is a company that represents investors teaching and learning from other investors. STOCK MARKET NERD and it’s employees, writers, and content creators write about investing through both free and paid content. Numerous financial publications do not permit their employees, writers, and content creators to own stocks.

However, at STOCK MARKET NERD we do permit this. Why?

First, we believe the most effective way to create wealth is through the long-term investing in the stock market. We believe in empowering our employees, writers, and content creators to achieve their financial goals without limitations.

Second, we see our employees, writers, and content creators not as journalists, but as communicators and educators in the field of finance. This perspective greatly influences all the content we create, whether it’s in our newsletters, on our website, or on our social media platforms. As a company, we utilize various channels to educate people from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their age or income level, about money and investing. That’s why we believe it’s important for our employees, writers, and content creators to manage their own finances. It allows them to deepen their understanding of the subject and achieve personal success. After all, who could be better equipped to write about investing than those who have hands-on experience?

STOCK MARKET NERD is a publisher of financial information, not an investment advisor (please read our Terms of Use). We do not provide personalized or individualized investment advice or information that is tailored to the needs of any particular recipient.
