You agree to comply with all local laws regarding online conduct and, to the extent applicable, laws relating to the transmission of securities-related data.


All content posted on The Site by a third party is the responsibility of that third party and is not of BNK. BNK is the distributor of this third party content and assumes no responsibility for content nor makes any claim as to the accuracy or validity of the third party content, including but not limited to video, or services made available within The Site. BNK may provide services, content, data and other information from third party providers, or affiliates and/or links to third party content, whose terms of service may regulate the use of the content.


Employees, officers, family, associates, corporations, companies and entities related to BNK and its publishers may have positions or business interests in securities, ETFs, options, derivatives or commodities mentioned, referred to, or covered.


Any ideas and opinions presented on The Site are for informational and educational purposes only, and do not reflect the opinions of BNK Invest, Inc. or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or partners.


In no way should any content contained herein be interpreted to represent trading or investment advice. None of the information contained herein constitutes a recommendation that any particular security, portfolio, transaction, or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person. BNK Invest, Inc. is not registered as an investment adviser or broker-dealer with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any state regulating agency. Rather, BNK Invest relies upon the "publisher's exclusion" from the definition of investment adviser as set forth in Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and corresponding state securities laws. As such, BNK Invest does not offer or provide personalized investment advice. Any investment decisions must in all cases be made by the reader or by his or her investment adviser. Do NOT ever purchase any security without doing sufficient research. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives outlined will actually come to pass. All opinions expressed herein are subject to change without notice. Neither the editor, employees, nor any of their affiliates shall have any liability for any loss sustained by anyone who has relied on the information provided.


The analysis provided is based on both technical and fundamental research and is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. Although the information contained is derived from sources which are believed to be reliable, they cannot be guaranteed.


When content from this site, including but not limited to video, appears on the site of a third party partner, affiliate or any other third party site these Terms of Service will control with respect to such content.


Proprietary ranking formulas, including ranks by yield, by average broker recommendation (Zacks ABR data powered by Xignite), by percentage of shares short (short interest data from ShortSqueeze.com), etc., do not rank all ETFs, nor all underlying holdings of ETFs, and may not be based on complete, timely, or accurate data. Yield calculations vary and may not be reliable nor comparable; yield may be expressed as SEC 30-day yield, annualized yield based on most recent distribution, trailing twelve month yield, or reported yield. Rankings are for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice.


The term "YieldBoost" used throughout the website is a non-standard financial figure invented by Stock Options Channel, used to represent the hypothetical return generated by the option premium, in the case of puts as a percentage of the strike price assuming the put option were to expire worthless, and in the case of calls as a percentage of the current stock price, assuming the call option were to expire worthless. The YieldBoost values may be displayed grayed out for in-the-money options reflecting the fact that the option may be likely to be exercised being that it is in-the-money.


"Current Odds" shown are based entirely on technical analysis of the underlying stock, its price history and implied volatility, its current quote data, its current options chain data and associated greeks and implied greeks including delta, gamma, vega, and rho. No fundamental business-level data for the company itself is considered. In other words this value shown is purely based upon observable market data past and present, which is never a guarantee of future price movement and is therefore merely a research tool investors can utilize in combination with other forms of analysis.


Market data is inherently error prone, and none of the information presented should be considered to be free of errors or relied upon for any investing decisions. None of the information contained herein constitutes a recommendation that any particular security, portfolio, transaction, or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person.
