California Securities Fraud Attorney: Offering Experienced Financial Legal Advice for Investors
Auction Rate Securities Investments Fail
Auction rate securities allowed individuals to invest cash and earn interest set by auctions held at various intervals. In February 2008, the market for auction rate securities failed, leaving investors without their cash and little hope for return on their investments. Unfortunately, many people were hurt by stockbroker misrepresentation as to the safety and availability of money invested in auction rate securities. To make matters worse, stockbrokers and underwriters were aware of the failing auctions and continued to sell these securities despite the risk.
While no one knows when this market will recover, stock market and securities fraud lawyer Jonathan Schwartz can advise you on your legal options to regain your investment and can help protect your rights as an investor.
Structured Investment Products
The recent mortgage and market crisis has caused people with assets in collateralized debt obligations and other structured products to lose money and bonds with little hope for return. Many individuals lost money when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy.
Most investors rely on their stockbrokers to provide them with accurate and honest information regarding investment opportunities and the prospect for earning money in the financial market. When stockbrokers and financial advisers compel you to make bad investments, you need the advice and legal counsel of experienced securities fraud lawyer, Jonathan Schwartz.
Annuities Cause Trouble
Annuities were originally created by the insurance industry and sold for the purpose of generating commissions. They currently have little or no value to the average investor. Attorney Schwartz stays current with financial books, articles and other financial publications. He is well aware of the downfalls of annuities and the negative effects they can have on investors.
Defense of Ponzi Scheme 'Clawback' Actions
Mr. Schwartz has defended several so-called 'clawback' actions in which early Ponzi winners or others who have received payments from Ponzi schemes are sued by Federal Equity Receivers (or sometimes bankruptcy trustees) in an attempt to recover the money paid out.
