Disclaimer

Maggid is an actuarial professional, and like every actuarial professional or human being, he makes mistakes. Maggid encourages you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that he talks about, because he could be wrong.

Nothing written here, or in my writings at Actuary-Info is an invitation to undertake whatsoever action, in particular to buy or sell any particular security; at most, Maggid is handing out educated guesses as to what the markets may do. Maggid thinks that "The markets always find a new way to make a fool out of you", and so he encourages caution with every action, in particular in investing. Risk control wins the game in the long run, not bold moves.

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

The next additional general Disclaimer is also applicable with regard to Actuary-Info.
