News Of Los Angeles has published a sweeping legal disclaimer that strips its market reporting of any investment-recommendation status and places full responsibility for trades on readers.
The notice, embedded at the foot of every story, declares 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.”
No Guarantee on Data Accuracy
The company says it obtains figures from sources it “believes to be reliable” yet explicitly refuses to “guarantee” accuracy, timeliness, or suitability, including for closed-caption text.
Past performance mentions, the disclaimer adds, are “no indication or guarantee of future success.”
Authors May Own Discussed Stocks
News Of Los Angeles also warns that “authors/presenters may own the stocks they discuss,” removing any presumption of conflict-free coverage.
The outlet further disclaims liability for “investing in any particular securities or utilizing any specific investment strategies,” noting that information “is subject to change without notice.”
Real-Time Price Caveats
A separate technical note clarifies that “real-time prices by Nasdaq Last Sale” and “real-time quote and/or trade prices are not sourced from all markets,” while ownership data comes from LSEG and estimate data from FactSet.
Trademark and Copyright Assertions
The piece ends with a list of claimed trademarks-including IBD, IBD Digital, IBD Live, Leaderboard, MarketDiem, and MarketSurge-followed by a copyright line reading “©2026 News Of Los Angeles, LLC. All Rights Reserved.”
