Let’s cut through the legal-speak and be crystal clear about what Hataf Capital does and doesn’t do. This disclaimer is the most important page on our website—it defines the boundaries of our relationship and protects both of us. By using HatafCapital.com, reading our analysis, subscribing to our newsletters, or engaging with our content in any way, you’re acknowledging these disclaimers. Take them seriously. They’re not formalities—they’re fundamental to how our platform operates.
Not Financial Advice
We don’t provide personalized financial advice. Period. Everything on our platform—every article, every analysis, every research report, every chart—is general information for educational purposes. We’re not telling you what to do with your money. We’re sharing our research and analysis so you can make your own informed decisions. Think of Hataf Capital as a sophisticated financial library, not a financial advisor. We provide the books, but you need to read them and decide how to apply the information to your situation.
What We Are:
- Financial news and market analysis platform
- Research provider with institutional-grade analysis
- Educational resource for investors
- Commentary and insights service
What We’re Not:
- Licensed financial advisors
- Investment advisory firm
- Broker-dealer or registered representative
- Personal financial consultants
Our analysts aren’t your financial advisors. Our CEO isn’t your wealth manager. Our research team doesn’t know your personal financial situation, risk tolerance, investment goals, or tax circumstances. Only you and your licensed financial professionals do. When we analyze a stock, commodity, or market trend, we’re sharing our research findings—not telling you to buy, sell, or hold anything. When we build financial models or project future scenarios, we’re demonstrating analytical techniques—not providing customized recommendations for your portfolio.
Investment Risk Acknowledgment
Investing is inherently risky. Markets can be brutal. Even the smartest analysis doesn’t guarantee profitable outcomes. Here’s what you need to understand:
Prices fluctuate. Sometimes dramatically. Black swan events happen. Market crashes occur. Your investments can lose value rapidly, sometimes permanently. Historical returns don’t predict future results. A stock that returned 50% last year might lose 50% this year. Market patterns change. Strategies that worked historically may fail going forward.
Financial markets move on information. By the time analysis reaches you, market conditions may have changed. News breaks constantly. Company situations evolve. Our analysis reflects specific points in time—it’s not continuously updated. Even perfect analysis means nothing if you can’t execute properly. Timing matters. Transaction costs add up. Slippage affects returns. Your ability to implement strategies varies based on account size, broker capabilities, and market access.
Our Analysis Limitations
Our analysis, while comprehensive, can’t cover every factor affecting investments. We focus on what we consider most important, but markets are complex systems with countless variables. Our quantitative models rely on assumptions. When those assumptions prove wrong, our conclusions may be incorrect. Models simplify reality—they don’t predict it perfectly.
We rely on third-party data that may contain errors, delays, or biases. Company filings can mislead. Market data feeds occasionally malfunction. Our analysis is only as good as the underlying information. Our analysts are human. They make mistakes. They have biases. Their interpretations may be incorrect. Expertise doesn’t guarantee accuracy.
Information Accuracy and Completeness
We strive for accuracy but can’t guarantee perfection. Financial information changes rapidly, and errors happen despite our best efforts. We fact-check extensively and cite sources, but mistakes slip through. Numbers get transposed. Charts display incorrectly. Formulas contain bugs. Always verify critical information independently.
Our content reflects information available at publication time. Markets don’t pause for us to update analysis. By the time you read our research, conditions may have changed significantly. We use reputable sources but can’t guarantee their accuracy. Company press releases may be misleading. News reports can be wrong. Even regulatory filings sometimes contain errors.
We can’t analyze everything. Markets are vast. Our coverage focuses on what we believe matters most, but we inevitably miss important developments. Even our most comprehensive reports have limits. We can’t explore every angle, consider every scenario, or address every reader’s specific questions. Our primary focus is US markets and regulations. International investing involves additional complexities we may not adequately address.
Third-Party Content and Links
Our platform frequently references and links to external content. We don’t control these third parties or endorse everything they publish. Links to external websites don’t imply endorsement of their content, products, services, or viewpoints. We link to provide context and additional resources, not recommendations.
External sites may contain inaccurate information, biased analysis, or misleading claims. We can’t verify everything we link to. Exercise independent judgment. Websites change after we link to them. Content may be updated, removed, or replaced with something entirely different. We don’t monitor external sites after linking.
Guest Contributors
Occasionally, we feature guest analysts or industry experts. Their views don’t necessarily reflect Hataf Capital’s positions or analytical standards. Guest contributors express their own views. We provide platforms for diverse perspectives but don’t endorse every guest viewpoint. Guest contributors have varying levels of expertise and credentials. Research their backgrounds independently before weighing their opinions.
Forward-Looking Statements
Much of financial analysis involves predictions, projections, and forward-looking statements. These are inherently uncertain and frequently wrong. The future is unknowable. Our best predictions are educated guesses based on current information and historical patterns. They’re often wrong. Forward-looking statements rely on assumptions about future conditions. When assumptions prove incorrect, predictions fail. We model various scenarios but can’t anticipate every possibility. Black swan events, by definition, aren’t predictable.
Company earnings estimates are notoriously inaccurate. Our models and analyses should be viewed skeptically, even when they seem confident. Nobody consistently predicts market movements. Our market outlook provides context, not certainty. Economic forecasting is famously difficult. Even the most sophisticated models regularly fail to predict recessions, inflation, or growth accurately.
Regulatory and Legal Disclaimers
Our content doesn’t constitute specific investment recommendations. We analyze securities for educational purposes, not to advise particular trading decisions. Hataf Capital is not a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. We don’t provide investment advisory services requiring SEC registration. We’re not FINRA members. We don’t execute trades, handle customer accounts, or provide services requiring FINRA oversight.
Financial regulations vary globally. Our compliance focuses on US law. International users must ensure their use of our platform complies with local regulations.
Personal Liability Limitations
You’re solely responsible for your investment decisions and their outcomes. We provide information; you make choices. Success and failure rest entirely with you. Conduct your own research beyond our analysis. Consult multiple sources. Verify information independently. Question our conclusions.
Seek advice from qualified professionals—licensed financial advisors, tax attorneys, accountants—before making significant financial decisions. Develop your own risk management strategies. Diversify appropriately. Never risk money you can’t afford to lose. Set stop-losses and position limits based on your situation.
Our analysts express personal professional opinions. These don’t necessarily represent Hataf Capital’s official positions. Our team members may own securities we analyze. While we have conflict of interest policies, personal trading can still influence perspectives. Team members may speak at conferences, write for other publications, or consult privately. These activities don’t necessarily align with Hataf Capital positions.

Specific Market Disclaimers
Digital assets are particularly volatile and speculative. Cryptocurrency analysis faces unique challenges: Crypto regulations evolve rapidly. Today’s legal investments might be restricted tomorrow. Cryptocurrency markets are prone to manipulation. Pump-and-dump schemes are common. Be especially cautious. Blockchain technology, wallet security, and exchange reliability create additional risks beyond traditional securities.
Options and Derivatives
Options, futures, and other derivatives involve complex risks: Derivatives amplify both gains and losses. Leverage can lead to losses exceeding initial investments. Options lose value over time. Complex strategies require precise timing and market direction prediction. Derivative contracts depend on counterparty creditworthiness. Exchange or clearinghouse failures affect positions.
Investing abroad introduces additional complexities: Exchange rate fluctuations affect returns when converting back to your base currency. Foreign governments may restrict capital flows, change regulations, or face political instability. Some international markets have limited liquidity, wider bid-ask spreads, and restricted trading hours.
Final Disclaimer
This disclaimer doesn’t absolve you of responsibility for your own decisions. Financial markets reward informed decision-making and punish carelessness. No amount of disclaimers can protect against poor judgment or failure to do your own research.
Bottom Line:
- We provide information, not advice
- We analyze markets, not your personal situation
- We share research, not guarantees
- We educate, not direct
Your financial success or failure depends on your decisions, not our analysis. Use our platform wisely, but remember—nobody makes money for you except you.
