Disclaimer

Many of the assets I discuss are either in my hedge fund's asset pool, or I currently own shares personally. This may create a conflict of interest that cannot be denied, though I do not make any money directly from the companies I discuss, and I have no relationship (other than as an investor) with the companies.

ALWAYS READ THE PROSPECTUS BEFORE INVESTING.

Though I may own and use this asset in my portfolios, it may not be the correct fund for your individual situation, so these posts are by no means a recommendation that you purchase a particular asset or fund. Please read the prospectus in full before choosing to invest, and if necessary, consult a financial professional (understanding that your financial professionals also have conflicts of interest in many cases when making suggestions).

Neither Smug Investments nor myself are liable for any investments made based on the posts on this website. Investments of this nature are purely speculative. You can lose your principal investment, and past performance is in no way indicative of future results.

That said, be proud and invest smugly!
