Risks Associated with Small Stock Offerings
There are numerous risks involved in investing in small stock offerings, including the following, among others:
Liquidity Concerns: These stocks may have low trading volumes, making it difficult to buy or sell shares at desired prices.
Lack of Information: Many small companies may not provide comprehensive financial disclosures or have limited operating histories.
Market Volatility: Small stocks can be more volatile than larger, established companies, leading to significant price fluctuations.
Medigus Ltd: Suitable Investment for you?
Broker due diligence is a process undertaken by brokerage firms to ensure they are recommending and selling investment products appropriate for their clients. This process protects the interests of the brokerage firm and its clients by ensuring that the investments offered are suitable for the client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation.
If a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to disclose the associated risks adequately, they may be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim. Fortunately, FINRA provides an arbitration forum for investors to resolve such disputes.
Class Action vs. Individual FINRA Arbitration Lawsuit
You may wonder whether a large class action lawsuit is a better litigation option than an individual FINRA arbitration case. The answer depends on many factors, but typically if the loss sustained is large (say larger than $100,000), an individual arbitration claim is likely a better option. Class actions as a recovery option are more appropriate for grouping large numbers of individuals who have small claims – too small to generally pursue individually.
