Update

According to the SEC, Sable Natural Resources has allegedly been delinquent in its required periodic filings with the commission.

Risks of Reg D Private Placements

Sable Natural Resources often raised capital through Reg D private placements. The trouble with private placements, is that they involve a high degree of risk. They are typically sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds. The declining cost of oil and other energy commodities increases these risks.

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for improperly selling oil and gas private placements like Sable Operating Company and NYTEX Energy Holdings.

Broker dealers that sell private placements are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investment recommendations. They must ensure that each investment recommendation that is made is suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, financial needs, and investment experience.

Reg D private placements typically have high sales commissions and due diligence fees the brokers earn for selling such products. Sometimes brokers may push the product to unsuspecting investors who do not fully understand the risks of these types of investments. Often brokers focus on the income potential and tax benefits while downplaying the risks.

Fortunately, The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority does provide for an arbitration forum for investors to resolve such disputes. If a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
