At a Glance
- The financial publisher states its content is “for informational and educational purposes only”
- It explicitly says data is not guaranteed accurate, timely, or suitable
- Why it matters: Readers relying on the outlet’s market coverage now have a clear disclaimer on limits and risks
News Of Los Angeles has posted a sweeping legal notice telling investors that nothing it publishes should be treated as a formal recommendation to buy or sell securities. The disclosure, carried at the bottom of its digital and print pages, stresses that information is “subject to change without notice” and that past performance “is no indication or guarantee of future success.”
The notice opens with a blunt line: “Information in News Of Los Angeles is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as an offer, recommendation, solicitation, or rating to buy or sell securities.” It adds that while the outlet believes its sources are reliable, it “make[s] no guarantee as to its accuracy, timeliness, or suitability.”
Market-data fine print is also spelled out. Real-time prices are provided “by Nasdaq Last Sale,” the statement says, noting that “real-time quote and/or trade prices are not sourced from all markets.” Ownership figures come from LSEG, while earnings estimates are supplied by FactSet.
Authors and presenters, the text warns, “may own the stocks they discuss,” removing any presumption of neutrality. The outlet also rejects liability for “the advisability of investing in any particular securities or utilizing any specific investment strategies.”
The legal paragraph closes with a copyright line: “©2026 News Of Los Angeles, LLC. All Rights Reserved.” Trademarks listed include IBD, IBD Digital, IBD Live, IBD Weekly, Leaderboard, MarketDiem, and MarketSurge, all claimed by the same Delaware-registered limited-liability company.
Key Takeaways
