{brand} Legal Warning Sparks Investor Alarm

At a Glance

  • News Of Los Angeles disclaims all liability for investment decisions based on its content
  • Real-time prices shown come from Nasdaq Last Sale, not every market
  • Historical performance data carry zero predictive value
  • Why it matters: Investors relying on the platform’s data have no legal recourse if trades go bad

News Of Los Angeles has quietly updated its legal disclaimer to make clear that nothing it publishes constitutes actionable investment advice. The notice, which appears at the bottom of every article, now states that information is “for informational and educational purposes only” and “should not be construed as an offer, recommendation, solicitation, or rating to buy or sell securities.”

The disclaimer also warns that while sources “are believed to be reliable,” the company offers “no guarantee as to its accuracy, timeliness, or suitability.” That caveat extends to closed-captioned information, a detail that could affect hearing-impaired users who rely on those transcripts.

Key disclaimer points

Neon-lit nodes swirl around financial hub with intersecting geometric shapes and blue-purple gradient
  • No liability for closed-caption errors
  • Past performance ≠ future results
  • Authors may own discussed stocks
  • Information can change without notice

Real-time price feeds come solely from Nasdaq Last Sale, meaning investors do not see quotes from every trading venue. Ownership data are supplied by LSEG and earnings estimates by FactSet, but News Of Los Angeles makes “no representations or warranties” about using those metrics in any specific strategy.

The company also notes that its trademarks-including IBD, Leaderboard, MarketDiem and MarketSurge-are owned by News Of Los Angeles, LLC, and that all content is ©2026 News Of Los Angeles, LLC, with rights reserved.
