We all want to get ahead. Financial security is one of the goals of all adults who do not have it. Some of us ceaselessly worry about this one thing. Others actually take the steps to improve their situation. Investing is a very logical step on the way to financial freedom. But just because it’s logical does not mean it won’t be challenging. You now know this firsthand. Risk and investment are inseparable. To score big, you need to go big. However, because most of us lack the knowledge and experience to go this route alone, we entrust our hopes, dreams, and savings to those who we trust as above board professionals who will steer us the right way to a successful investment. The harsh reality many times for many of us, unfortunately, is a lost investment.
Why Did I Fail?
Sometimes it is a simple as being too gullible. Are you quick to believe what is said to you or what you may read online or in magazines? Did you ignore that little voice in the back of your head saying a bad idea and now your freely given faith in people has left you feeling regret? Don’t feel ashamed. It has happened to many of us. We choose to believe that because we are honest, others will be as well. But we need to take better steps to safeguard our investments. Everything that sparkles like gold is not. Trust your intuition. The gut is never wrong.
Could impatience have caused you to make rash decisions resulting in investment loss? Rushing to start big could have caused a bigger fall. All this to say that sometimes the fault lies with us, things we didn’t do, things we should have done or the very decisions we did make. For those times, we may need to graciously accept the loss and strive to do better next time. Not all losses can be recouped. But some apparent losses, however, such as stock market dips, may not be loses at all. Allow for some time to truly evaluate the state of your investment.
Other times, however, the blame is not on your shoulders because you scoured the internet, asked probing questions, did your due diligence and ended up partnering with a professional investor who still, ultimately, let you down and lost your funds.
Justice
You feel duped, angry. You want answers and retribution. In such situations your monies definitely have a shot at being recaptured. Unless you are a highly trained arbitration lawyer, you cannot fight this alone and require expert help. Experienced lawyers at Atlanta representation are ready to help you get just that. If you believe that your investment was lost due to purposeful deceit, negligence or plain incompetence, then a lawyer is exactly what you need.
Victim of a ponzi or pyramid scheme? Failed mutual funds investment? Prey to a variable annuity fraud? Following a tried and trusted arbitration process, your triumph is the top priority with a dedicated lawyer. A claim will need to be filed. Be patient as your attorney allows for the accused party to respond. This is expected to occur within forty-five days. The legal counsel will then carry on with the discovery and hearing process. Thirty days thereafter, a decision will be handed down by a three-person panel.
Remember
Although financial advisors are held accountable under the law for false counsel, some still choose to blatantly mislead you. They may trump up the feasibility of success in a particular venture, influencing you to wrongly and disastrously invest great amounts of cash in an apparent golden opportunity that shows no dividends.
Some may shamelessly coax you to invest more than you intended or even have the ability to. Professional investment firms and individuals who claim to be professional investment advisors should not be allowed to escape blame and recompense. The heavy hand of the law will see to that. So don’t feel defeated. Never just lay down and accept an investment loss that is not only not your fault, but was perpetrated by someone who purported themselves to be professional. But also be aware that if your downfall is directly your doing, no lawyer will be able to save you from that loss.
Be very smart and extra careful with your investments. That is imperative.
