Accordingly, the publication of TNF’s website on the Internet should not be construed by any consumer and/or prospective client as TNF’s solicitation to effect, or attempt to effect transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, over the Internet. Any subsequent, direct communication by TNF with a prospective client shall be conducted by a representative that is either registered or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration in the state where the prospective client resides. A copy of TNF’s current written disclosure Brochure discussing TNF’s business operations, services, and fees is available from TNF upon written request.

Certain portions of TNF’s website (i.e., newsletters, articles, commentaries, etc.) may contain a discussion of, and/or provide access to, TNF (and those of other investment and non-investment professionals) positions and/or recommendations as of a specific prior date. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, such discussion may no longer be reflective of current position(s) and/or recommendation(s). Moreover, no client or prospective client should assume that any such discussion serves as the receipt of, or a substitute for, personalized advice from TNF, or from any other investment professional.

Neither rankings and/or recognitions by unaffiliated rating services, publications, media, or other organizations, nor the achievement of any professional designation, certification, degree, or license, membership in any professional organization, or any amount of prior experience or success, should be construed by a client or prospective client as a guarantee that he/she will experience a certain level of results if TNF is engaged, or continues to be engaged, to provide investment advisory services.
