Nothing here is financial advice
This is the most important term on the page. Everything published on this site is general commentary and personal opinion. It is not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or financial product. I am not acting as your financial advisor, and reading this site does not create an advisory relationship between us.
Nothing here takes account of your objectives, financial situation, or needs. Before you act on anything you read here, speak to a licensed financial services provider in your jurisdiction. Past performance is not a guide to future results, and any views expressed can change without notice.
Where I hold a position in something I write about, I will say so in the piece itself. Where I don't say so, assume nothing either way.
No warranty on accuracy
I write carefully and I source my numbers, but I can't guarantee that everything here is accurate, complete, or current. Data providers make mistakes, markets move, and I make mistakes too. The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. You use it at your own risk, and I am not liable for any loss arising from your reliance on it, to the fullest extent permitted by South African law.
Intellectual property
All research, written analysis, charts, code, and design on this site are my original work and are protected by copyright, as are Concentration Check and Greater Web. FuturePort is a registered trademark of mine.
You may read, print, and share links to anything here. You may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link back to the original page. You may not republish whole pieces, sell this content, use it to train a commercial model, or present it as your own work without my written permission. Ask me first and the answer will usually be yes.
Third-party links and data
Some pieces reference third-party sources, including SEC EDGAR, FRED, and the World Bank, and may link to external sites. Those sources remain the property of their owners, and I am not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of anything hosted elsewhere.
Acceptable use
Don't use this site to break the law, don't try to interfere with how it runs, and don't scrape it at a volume that degrades it for anyone else. That's the whole list.
Changes
I may update these terms as the site develops. The date at the top of this page tells you when it last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, and any dispute falls under the jurisdiction of the South African courts.
