Regulations on publishing a technical analysis web site

  1. I am planning to publish a web site to help people to do technical screening analysis of the stock market on a daily basis, similar to VectorVest.com. My question is: are their any regulations I need to consider? Do I need a license for setting up such a web site? Thanks a lot in advance.

    If you're giving the same advice to a lot of people, you're protected by the first amendment. If you're giving specific advice, or managing money, you have to be registered and regulated.
     
  3. If I can scan for stocks with positive earnings and a positive earnings trend then I'm interested.
     
  4. Basically as he said above, the same advice to all others. You are a PUBLISHER of information - giving your understanding and opinion. You are not a financial advisor who knows anything about the financial goals or assets of any of your subscribers.
