I eat my own cooking. That is, I invest my own money in many of these picks. Thus, for better or worse, we're investing in many of these positions together.
I don't buy ahead of readers. I don't buy shares in a stock before I write about it, and I don't sell shares before I post a sell in one of my columns. I'm not looking for a short-term profit at your expense.
The three-day requirement. The rule for Jubak's Journal is that I don't buy or sell a stock until three days have passed since the column was posted that contained the recommendation for that buy or sell.
I'll disclose an existing position. Sometimes, I do wind up recommending a stock that I've owned for a while. I'll always note that in the column. Then, I'll follow the usual rule: no selling for three days after the column is published. In addition, I don't short stocks -- ever.
Disclosure. At the end of every column, you'll find a complete disclosure listing the names of every stock I own that I've mentioned in this particular column.
