If a Main Street investor is burned by Wall Street, the gender neutral system may, in the end, have a greater impact on women as they generally live longer and the impact of being burned by Wall Street is greater on women if the wrong is not righted; cured. And, as well, if burned investors fight back and win, the long term beneficiaries may tend to be women more than men based on life expectancy. Securities arbitration offers that opportunity. How to recover funds lost due to Wall Street misdeeds is found in securities arbitration. Designed to be fair, neutral, impartial, securities arbitration panels make decisions based on the facts submitted to them by burned investors and their advocates. “I think securities arbitration and the entire subject of Wall Street misdeeds is a woman’s issue,” says Paul N. Young, founder of Securities Arbitration and the free companion 18+ consecutive year national Securities Arbitration Hotline (1-800-222-4724). “Interestingly, the majority of the calls taken by the Hotline have been from women who decided to take a deep breath and fight back. Women, more than men, generally and anecdotally, seem to be more willing to overcome the embarrassment and anger that most victims feel and simply take steps to fight back. And it makes sense. Overcoming these twin, inertia-creating emotions is often easier for women than for men. Once that occurs, the real-world dollar recovery process can proceed. And it can win,” concludes Young. The Wall Street misdeeds include these leaders (based on NASD and Securities Arbitration Hotline statistics): Suitability (was the investor suitable for investments recommended?); risk tolerance; negligence; misrepresentations; breach of duty; churning (commission grabs); failure of broker and/or account supervision; and others. The goal: Recovery of money lost due to misdeeds of Wall Street. Recovery can include: real dollars lost (money out of pocket), lost opportunity and/or interest, costs spent in the recovery effort, and, as well, punitive damages. Though not often awarded, punitive damages are, as in court, able to be awarded and are done so by panels. Securities arbitration is for those who’ve lost money in the market as a result of investor abuse or misdeeds. Losing money alone is not the criteria; it isn’t nearly enough. The measure of review is: has the investor lost money due to investor abuse or negligence; has the investor been burned. Though many disputes are resolved or ended before an actual in-person hearing (hearings held at the location closest to the residence of the MainStreeter), in cases where Main Street takes on Wall Street before a panel at a hearing in 2005 MainStreeters won 43% of contested cases; from 2000-forward, 2000 and 2003 each marked the highest percentage of victories for MainStreeters: 53%.
