Securities investing and trading is carefully regulated by rules and laws for the protection of public investors. The violation of these rules, particularly through various deceptive actions and schemes to cheat or take advantage of investors, is commonly known as securities fraud. If you believe that you may have been a victim of securities fraud, you have certain rights which you should be aware of, rights which may provide you an opportunity to recover your losses from your stockbroker or brokerage firm. Most investors who have been defrauded do not know what happened to their investments until it is too late. But even after the losses have occurred, the law provides a mechanism for investors to recover their losses which were caused by a stockbroker's misrepresentations or abuse of the account. Federal and state laws provide a legal remedy for defrauded investors to recover their losses. Investors may also be entitled to compensation for the loss of income that their investments should have been generating, interest on the losses and legal fees. © COPYRIGHT 2006 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BUSINESS DIRECTORY |
