These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) apply specifically to Gold & Silver Trader (GST). Due to the unique nature of gold and gold stock investing, they may differ from those that apply to our other Weiss Group products and services.
Automatic renewal: Unless you are a member of our lifetime membership service, your membership will continue for the initial term of the membership (the “Initial Term”). We will notify you ahead of time when it is coming up for renewal, we will give you the opportunity to respond, and unless you tell us not to, we will renew you automatically at the end of the Initial Term for successive Renewal Terms, as outlined in our Cancellation/Termination Policy. This way you lock in your current discount for as long as you remain a member.
As a convenience to its users, Weiss Group subscribes to a third-party service wherein if your payment details change your credit card provider may provide updated card information. We may use this new information for your future membership payments ("Account Updater").
You may remove the benefit of automatic renewal by using the Self-Service portal accessible through the ‘My Account’ link on our website, or by notifying our Customer Service Department by telephone at (877) 934-7778 Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM EST or directly at [email protected].
In addition, on your renewal membership fee, you can receive a full refund if you cancel within 30 days of the renewal.
Refund policy: If you have subscribed for more than one year, you may cancel the second, third, fourth (etc.) year of your membership. However, your first-year membership fee is not refundable.
Two options you do have: If recommendations provided in GST do not enable you to make 1,000 profits after your first year, let us know and, if you wish, we will extend, at no additional cost, your membership for an additional year beyond your current expiration date.
Alternatively, if you are dissatisfied with GST for any reason, let us know and we will give you a credit for the unused balance of your membership fee, minus our cost of any physical premium that we may have shipped you, such as a bullion bar or coin. We will then apply your credit to the membership fee of another one of our services that may better suit your needs.
Trade examples: The gains shown are based on historical data, using Sean Brodrick’s Gold X index, which combines (a) his gold stock selection methodology and (b) a unique timing indicator based on price, volume and other factors. Most trade examples are derived strictly from the purchase of mining shares, the core of the service. In addition, as an extra optional benefit, Mr. Brodrick may also occasionally recommend “Amplifier Trades,” based on the simple purchase of call options, in which the risk of loss is limited to the premiums paid. All investments involve risk and some can be speculative. However, speculation involving debt, margin accounts or futures is not used in the examples shown and is never recommended.
Investors should also recognize that gains based on historical data may have some limitations. For example, they do not include transaction fees. Nor do they account for the fact that investors don’t always get the prices they expect.
Risk: Any kind of trading is considered speculative and involves risk of loss. Although we make every effort to protect your principal, you can lose money. Therefore, GST is not for all of your funds. If your goal is strictly capital preservation, we believe you should invest those funds in conservative investments such as short-term US Treasury securities or equivalent. For more information on prudent investing, see also the information available at the websites of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority at www.FINRA.org. Any money you allocate to speculative investments should be strictly the money you can afford to risk without jeopardizing your daily life, and without negatively impacting your plans for education, retirement, or long-term care.
Weiss Ratings is a publisher. Weiss Ratings, LLC (“Weiss Ratings”) is strictly a financial ratings and research publishing firm (a publisher) and does not provide individual investment advice to its subscribers. Weiss Ratings is not an investment adviser, money manager or a registered securities broker/dealer.
Not personal: Although we make every effort to provide the most accurate and updated information possible, our information cannot take into consideration your personal finances and goals, and therefore is not intended to be used as customized recommendations to buy, hold, or sell investments, or to engage in any trading strategy, or that an investment strategy is suitable for any specific person. Such recommendations may only be made by a personal adviser or broker you select.
Our editors and staff will gladly answer your generic questions regarding our service and our recommendations in a factual manner. However, none of the GST creators, editors, providers, contributors or their affiliates will advise you personally concerning the nature, potential, value or suitability of any particular stock, transaction, investment strategy or other matter. Accordingly, do not attempt to contact them seeking personalized investment advice which they cannot provide.
The views expressed in GST are the author’s own opinions. And these may sometimes differ from the opinions provided in other services we publish.
Our data sources: Most of the information we publish is derived from primary sources, including the publicly traded companies we cover and government sources. We believe our data sources are accurate, but we do not verify their accuracy independently. Therefore, we cannot assure that the information is always accurate or complete. Nor do we guarantee the success of any investment decision you may make using our data, information, or recommendations.
Performance Tracking. To help give investors a model to refer to, we will follow the same recommendations as made in GST with the following critical difference: We will wait at least two hours before executing each trade. And sometimes, depending on market conditions, we may wait longer. Due to the differences in timing and the prices we get, our results will naturally differ from those of subscribers. The results each subscriber achieves may differ depending on the actual prices paid or received and the commissions paid.
Profit illustrations: Examples of potential performance returns which we cite may sometimes be based on simulated — not actual — trades, assuming entry and exit prices that could have been obtained during regular market conditions. These entry and exit prices calculated do not reflect or include costs of spreads, market delays, or fees and commissions. Similar returns may or may not be actually achieved by subscribers.
While every effort is made to evaluate the actual experience of subscribers, performance figures must be considered hypothetical, and past results are no guarantee of future performance. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. No representation is being made that any account will probably achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
References to examples of past performance are not intended to provide a total picture of portfolio results. Your results may vary considerably depending on a series of factors, including: (a) when you begin or cease investing, (b) which recommendations you choose to act on, (c) how much money you choose to invest in each recommendation, (d) the specific prices you get, (e) the commissions you pay, (f) the interest income you earn on uninvested funds, and (g) the number and magnitude of losing or winning trades you experience. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.
