Annuity abuses - Annuities aren't for everyone. You may lose access to your assets for decades while the annuity matures. Yet financial advisors and banks sell these clearly inappropriate investments to senior citizens, who may die before receiving the monthly payments they were promised.

CMO fraud - Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) are a form of mortgage-backed securities. CMO investments are divided into "tranches," or sections of varying risk. Brokers who advise investors to purchase low tranche (high risk) CMOs, have lost millions for their clients.

Options - Options are highly leveraged bets on individual movements on securities. Often brokers fail to disclose just how risky options really are. In some cases, as in the selling of "naked puts," the downside risk is unlimited. We have represented clients whose entire multimillion dollar portfolios were wiped out because of options trading.

Failure to Plan for Retirement: Investments appropriate for a 30 year old may not be appropriate for a retiree. Failure to reallocate assets as someone ages is a type of broker misconduct. As you approach retirement, your portfolio should be less heavily invested in stocks and more invested in fixed income investments.
