LEGAL TIPS FOR INVESTORS FROM THE MARK A. TEPPER LAW FIRM

• If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Don’t sign a new account agreement unless you understand it.
• Hang up on cold callers, especially those calling with “the opportunity of a lifetime.”
• Ignore high pressure sales tactics such as “if you don’t act now.”
• Save all promotional materials, in the event of a dispute over how the investment was described.
• Get it in writing. Don’t rely on verbal representations which may be convenient for the broker to forget during a dispute.
• Do not blame yourself. Brokers have a duty to recommend only suitable investments.
• Generally, the higher the investment return, the greater the risk.
