MadBuffaloDisease Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 What's the difference between that and medicine or smoking? You know the risks of surgery and smoking are injury or death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is there is no difference, just another way for people to say "not my fault." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your homework prior to investing and know going in that you may lose money. 718622[/snapback] The funny thing about suing a company for stock losses is that the owners of the company are the stockholders. So really, when a disgruntled stockholder (most likely a lawyer who owns a few shares) sues a company he's really suing the people who stuck it out and kept their shares. The only valid reason IMO to sue in regards to investing is where there is outright fraud, like a financial adviser who ran away with all the investors money, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
