Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: September 21, 2026.

The short version

We do not currently earn a commission on anything linked from this site, and we carry no advertising. If that changes, this page will say so before it does.

How paid links will work here

We expect to add paid links to some articles, for example links to stock research tools, investing books and pre-IPO investment platforms. When an article contains links we are paid for, it will say so at the top of the article, before any such link:

This article contains advertising. Links marked (Ad) are paid links: if you buy or sign up through one, we earn a commission from the provider, at no extra cost to you. It never affects what we recommend.

Each paid link will also be marked “(Ad)” right next to it. If we link to books on Amazon, the article will also say: “As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.”

Why payment won’t change what we write

Nothing on this site is a paid placement. We are not paid to include a stock, fund, tool or service, and no partner sees an article before it is published. Where we recommend a tool or a book, it is because we think it is worth your time.

We don’t accept payment from companies to write about their stock, and paid links never decide which companies or funds appear in our articles.

Advertising

We don’t currently run display advertising. If we add it, advertisers will have no say in what we write, and our Privacy Policy will describe the cookies involved before any ads appear.
