The Sourcing Sholar’s Terms of Service
Happy Sunday readers,
I have decided that I do not want to be showing my Terms of Service on every single report I make, because I believe it takes away from the content and is redundant. However, I will be showing my Disclosure.
Terms of Service & Disclosure:
1. Educational Purpose Only: The Sourcing Scholar is a financial publication and research journal operated by The Faust Projects LLC. All content, including “Sourcing Audits,” “Toolbox” entries, and “Real-Time Autopsies,” is provided for educational, informational, and independent analysis purposes only.
2. Not Financial Advice: I am not a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), a certified financial planner, or a licensed broker. I do not provide personalized investment advice. The audits shared here are based on my own systematic logic and personal risk tolerance. They are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.
3. “Skin in the Game” & Conflict of Interest: I am a practitioner, not a bystander. I may hold positions in the equities or baskets of equities discussed in this publication. I will endeavor to disclose any active positions at the time of publishing. My analysis is disinterested and based on the 5-Pillar Sourcing Audit method; however, my personal trades are my own and should not be treated as a mandate for your capital.
4. Independent Research: The views expressed here are strictly my own and do not represent the views, strategies, or opinions of my employer or any other professional organization. I maintain a strict “firewall” between my professional career as a Sourcing Associate and my independent research as The Sourcing Scholar.
5. Risk of Loss: Investing and trading involve significant risk. “Market Tuition” (losses) is a reality of the journey. You should consult with a licensed financial professional before making any investment decisions. The Faust Projects LLC is not responsible for any financial losses incurred by readers.
This is a template of my disclosure:
Disclaimer: I am long USEG. This audit represents an independent procurement/sourcing equity report, my personal sourcing methodology, and is not financial advice. The author is a Senior Sourcing/Procurement Associate by day. You should consult with a licensed financial professional before making any investment decisions. The Faust Projects LLC is not responsible for any financial losses incurred by readers.
If I mention a ticker, I will mention if I am holding it or not. If you’re ready to look at the markets and equities through the lens of a systematic audit, hit the subscribe button below.
