When using AI and automated tools to:

Always independently verify data, calculations, and conclusions before relying on them.

- Inside information from company executives, employees, or insiders

- Insider trading or tipping information
All analysis is based solely on publicly available information as of the date of publication.

- Technological disruptions, competitive pressures, or industry dynamics
- Geopolitical events, natural disasters, or unforeseen circumstances

6. HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIOS, CALCULATIONS, AND EXAMPLES
A. EDUCATIONAL ILLUSTRATIONS
Educational content frequently includes:
- Hypothetical investor scenarios demonstrating investment concepts
- Illustrative calculations showing mathematical relationships
- "What if" analyses exploring potential outcomes under different assumptions
- Model portfolios or theoretical positions for teaching purposes
- Simplified examples that isolate specific variables or effects
B. LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL CONTENT
Hypothetical scenarios and examples:
- Do NOT represent actual investor experiences or historical results
- Are based on stated assumptions that may not reflect real-world conditions
- Often simplify complex situations by omitting variables, costs, or constraints
- May use idealized conditions (perfect timing, no transaction costs, favorable tax treatment)
- Are constructed with benefit of hindsight and may not be achievable in real-time
- May assume market conditions, liquidity, or execution quality that do not occur in practice
C. WHAT HYPOTHETICALS TYPICALLY OMIT
For simplicity and clarity, hypothetical scenarios often do NOT account for:
- Transaction costs (commissions, spreads, market impact)
- Taxes (income taxes, capital gains taxes, state and local taxes)
- Fees and expenses (management fees, advisory fees, custody fees)
- Opportunity costs (alternative uses of capital)
- Psychological factors (emotional decision-making, behavioral biases)
- Implementation challenges (liquidity constraints, execution delays, partial fills)
- Regulatory restrictions or account-specific limitations
- Changes in personal circumstances requiring strategy adjustments
D. ACTUAL RESULTS WILL DIFFER
Actual investment results achieved by any investor will differ—often substantially—from hypothetical scenarios due to:
- Individual circumstances, goals, constraints, and risk tolerance
- Timing of investments and market conditions at entry and exit
- Personal tax situations, account types, and jurisdiction
- Execution quality, transaction costs, and fees paid
- Behavioral factors and adherence to strategy
- Luck, randomness, and factors beyond investor control
Hypothetical performance should NEVER be interpreted as indicative of expected or probable outcomes.

Small differences in timing can produce dramatically different outcomes.
