You understand that no content within this article constitutes a recommendation that any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person. The author is not advising you personally concerning the nature, potential, value or suitability of any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction, investment strategy or other matter. To the extent that any of the content of this article may be deemed to be investment advice or recommendations in connection with a particular security, such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person. The author is not an investment advisor and is not offering investment advice. You understand that an investment in any security is subject to a number of risks, and that discussions of any security published in this article will not contain a list or description of relevant risk factors. In addition, please note that some of the stocks about which this article has written have a low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float. Such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information. Any information in this article deemed by you to be recommendations may have an effect on their stock prices.

You understand that performance data is supplied by sources believed to be reliable, that the calculations herein are made using such data, and that such calculations are not guaranteed by these sources, the information providers, or any other person or entity, and may not be complete.

From time to time, reference may be made on the Seeking Alpha website to prior articles and opinions Seeking Alpha has published. These references may be selective, may reference only a portion of an article or opinion, and are likely not to be current. As markets change continuously, previously published information and data may not be current and should not be relied upon.

All content on the Seeking Alpha website is presented only as of the date published or indicated, and may be superseded by subsequent market events or for other reasons.

This article is not intended to provide tax, legal, insurance or investment advice, and nothing in the article should be construed as an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security by the author, Seeking Alpha or any third party. You alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for you based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation.

Investors are expected to take full responsibility for any and all of their investment decisions based on their own independent research and evaluation of their own investment goals, risk tolerance, and financial condition. Investors are further cautioned that Small-Cap and Micro-Cap stocks have additional risks that may result in trading at a discount to their peers. Liquidity risk, caused by small trading floats and very low trading volume can lead to large spreads and high volatility in stock price. Small-Cap and Micro-Cap stocks may also have significant company-specific risks that contribute to lower valuations. Investors need to be aware of the higher probability of financial default and higher degree of financial distress inherent in the Small-Cap and Micro-Cap segments of the market.
