Other business activities

Outside business activity is any business or activity undertaken by an advisor that is outside the scope of their relationship with their firm (e.g., consulting services, real estate, freelance work, teaching, etc.). Investors should stay informed about these activities to ensure no conflicts of interest.

I provide investment advisory services through Financial Sense Advisors, Inc., an independent investment advisor firm. I started this business activity in April 2011.
