Editorial standards
How lessons are researched, checked, kept current, and corrected, and how Hyperion Entities makes money.
Sources
Facts that come from outside the lesson, such as a rule, a limit, a date, or a statistic, are checked against the original source wherever one exists: regulators and government agencies like the SEC, FINRA, the IRS, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve, the law or regulation itself, or the published research or data.
Each of those facts has a numbered note, and every lesson ends with its notes and sources, linked, with the date each source was checked.
When a claim can't be confirmed from a reliable source, it's removed or rewritten.
Review dates
Every lesson shows the month it was last reviewed, at the top of the page. Lessons that depend on numbers that change, such as tax rates, contribution limits, interest rates, or proposed rules, are rechecked when those numbers change. A proposed rule is always described as proposed until it's adopted.
Examples
Lessons teach with fictional companies, such as STU Corp, and fictional people. Their numbers are hypothetical and labeled that way. The financial statements of fictional companies are checked automatically, so their balance sheets balance and their statements agree with each other.
When a lesson uses a real company, fund, or event, it says so and cites a source. Real examples are there to illustrate a concept, never to suggest buying or selling anything.
Lessons don't recommend
Lessons never recommend an investment. Strategies are explained with their evidence, costs, and what can go wrong, so readers can judge them for themselves. Hyperion Entities doesn't publish real-time trade alerts, model portfolios, price targets, or market predictions.
Trade journals are paused. If they return, they'll be kept separate from the lessons and clearly labeled, and they'll report the trades contributors already made in their own accounts, every one of them, under published rules: nothing announced in advance, no trading against members, no hype, and statements checked against the journals.
How Hyperion Entities makes money
From memberships, and nothing else. Hyperion Entities doesn't accept payment from companies, brokers, funds, exchanges, or advisers to feature or mention them, and lessons contain no affiliate or referral links. If trade journals return, contributors will be paid a flat fee by Hyperion Entities, never by anyone they write about, and their pay won't depend on their results. If any of this ever changes, this page and any affected lesson will say so clearly.
Corrections
If you find a mistake, please tell us at support@hyperionentities.com. Factual errors are fixed promptly. When a correction changes a fact, figure, or conclusion, the lesson gets a Corrections note at the end saying what changed and when. Fixes to typos and wording aren't noted.
