General Terms of Service

Openinterestanalyst.com (OIA) provides reports (the service) to subscribers on a monthly fee basis. Garry Stern is the publisher and originator of the methodology used to analyze securities first published during December 2020 in his book, How I Trade Stocks. The principles described in the book provide the foundation of his securities analysis and are protected by applicable copyright laws

A subscription to the service will enable the designated subscriber (s) the right to view and print reports in whole or in part for their internal use only. Subscribers agree that reports are confidential. Transfer of the service/subscription to any third party is not permitted unless mutually agreed to in writing. Subscribers agree not to publish or otherwise provide copies to any third party of any analysis, information and reports, which are provided as part of the service. 

All fees for the service are payable in advance. One week prior to the end of the subscription period, OIA will send a renewal notice specifying the date of expiry and inviting the subscriber to renew the subscription. If the subscription to the service is not renewed, it will expire at the end of the subscription period. Subscribers agree that full or partial refunds will not be provided. Subscribers may cancel at any time, but refunds for the remaining subscription will not be provided.

Although every effort is made to provide accuracy in reports, Subscribers agree that OIA does not guarantee their accuracy or completeness and they hold OIA harmless from any liability caused by errors, opinions and omissions. Subscribers agree that each report published is distributed “as is” with no express or implied warranties. Subscribers agree that access to and use of the service is at their sole financial risk and that opinions provided to subscribers will likely change with market conditions.

Subscribers accept that past performance is not indicative of future results and that all investment and speculative strategies have the potential for profit and loss. Any change to strategies and tactics may materially alter the performance of investments and subscribers accept that different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk. 

Subscribers know that economic factors, market conditions, and investment strategies and tactics will affect the performance of any investment. Subscribers warrant they are professional investors and that it is their responsibility to perform an independent analysis of OIA’s recommendations. All expressions of opinion including buy and sell suggestions are based upon the analysis of OIA on the date the information is provided and is subject to change at any time.

His work is exclusively for investment professionals and not for individual investors.
