Where that occurs, T$R will seek to disclose the relationship clearly and prominently on the relevant page and on this Disclosures page.
T$R, D4, and, in some cases, D4’s spouse may hold securities of companies discussed on the Website and may buy or sell such securities at any time without notice. Such positions create financial interests, conflicts of interest, and potential bias.
