{brand} Warns: Investing Info Isn’t Advice

At a Glance

  • News Of Los Angeles states its content is for “informational and educational purposes only”
  • The publisher explicitly disclaims any offer, recommendation, or solicitation to buy or sell securities
  • Why it matters: Readers relying on the outlet’s market coverage must understand the legal limits of what they’re consuming

News Of Los Angeles has posted a blunt legal notice telling investors that nothing in its pages should be treated as a trading signal. The disclaimer, carried at the bottom of every article, says the information “should not be construed as an offer, recommendation, solicitation, or rating to buy or sell securities.”

No Guarantees on Data

The notice continues with a sweeping denial of responsibility for accuracy. “The information has been obtained from sources we believe to be reliable, but we make no guarantee as to its accuracy, timeliness, or suitability,” the text reads. That warning covers everything from stock quotes to closed-captioning text that appears in videos.

Past performance gets the same treatment. “Historical investment performances are no indication or guarantee of future success or performance,” the disclaimer states, undercutting any reader who might mine the site’s archives for patterns.

Authors May Own Covered Stocks

News Of Los Angeles also discloses a potential conflict: “Authors/presenters may own the stocks they discuss.” The line appears without elaboration, leaving readers to guess which writers hold positions in companies they cover.

The legal section ends with a catch-all: “Information is subject to change without notice.” A link to the outlet’s Terms of Use is provided for readers who want the full user agreement.

Fine Print on Real-Time Data

A separate block of text addresses market data. “Real-time prices by Nasdaq Last Sale,” it notes, adding that “real-time quote and/or trade prices are not sourced from all markets.” Ownership numbers come from LSEG, while earnings estimates are supplied by FactSet.

Trademark Stamp

The page closes with a catalog of News Of Los Angeles‘s own intellectual property. IBD, IBD Digital, IBD Live, IBD Weekly, Leaderboard, MarketDiem, MarketSurge and other marks are listed as “trademarks owned by News Of Los Angeles, LLC.”
