Blog Notes

The following is going to sound a little sloppy, so please take it in stride. When I started this blog, I allowed a large number of entities to syndicate my content. I was a neophyte, so I did not keep a list. As of this post, no one, except Seeking Alpha and my employer, is allowed to republish my posts, whether taken via RSS or through a direct scrape of my blog.

Of course, fair use is permitted. Quote me if you like, but add value to my material through your commentary. I try to make my posts over 90% mine, perhaps you should as well. Linking is encouraged. I do that for a lot of sites, particularly those on my blogroll.

If you have registered at my site but never commented, and you are a legitimate reader of my site, e-mail me. I am going to delete a number of registrees who are simply likely spammers. They get caught by Akismet, but I want to tighten things up a bit.

Also, I try to be fair to readers, but any comment at my site can be deleted by me for any reason. I have not done this once yet, except for spam. I have edited a comment or two, but that’s all. Still, I reserve the right.

Finally, thanks for reading me. Your time is valuable, and there are many good blogs out there. Thanks also to those that link to me, and have me on their blogrolls.

    Speaking of comments, the side-bar used to show the latest 4 or 5 comments. After the latest re-design it was shrunk to the single most recent. The comments are excellent and I make a concerted effort to keep up with all of them. Seeing the latest few in the sidebar was very handy and made keeping up very easy. If you please, make it like the old way.

    Read it as often as I can. Great job.

Disclaimer


David Merkel is an investment professional, and like every investment professional, he makes mistakes. David encourages you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that he talks about, because he could be wrong. Nothing written here, at RealMoney, Wall Street All-Stars, or anywhere else David may write is an invitation to buy or sell any particular security; at most, David is handing out educated guesses as to what the markets may do. David is fond of saying, "The markets always find a new way to make a fool out of you," and so he encourages caution in investing. Risk control wins the game in the long run, not bold moves. Even the best strategies of the past fail, sometimes spectacularly, when you least expect it. David is not immune to that, so please understand that any past success of his will be probably be followed by failures.


Also, though David runs Aleph Investments, LLC, this blog is not a part of that business. This blog exists to educate investors, and give something back. It is not intended as advertisement for Aleph Investments; David is not soliciting business through it. When David, or a client of David's has an interest in a security mentioned, full disclosure will be given, as has been past practice for all that David does on the web. Disclosure is the breakfast of champions.


Additionally, David may occasionally write about accounting, actuarial, insurance, and tax topics, but nothing written here, at RealMoney, or anywhere else is meant to be formal "advice" in those areas. Consult a reputable professional in those areas to get personal, tailored advice that meets the specialized needs that David can have no knowledge of.
