Securities and Stock Issues
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, as well as Florida state laws and federal requirements, govern stock trades and investments. The directors that sit on the board, corporations that release stocks to investors and the brokers that trade the shares, must abide by complex legal regulations at all times.

When a broker illegally participates in stock manipulation, investors can lose a lot of money. Stock manipulation may include:
If a company engages in these types of illegal stock manipulation activities, they are subject to not only civil but criminal penalties. If you are a stockholder in a company that participates in such actions, you may have the ability to recover any monies you lose due to the broker’s unlawful acts and manipulation.

A company’s board of directors is required to abide by its fiduciary obligations to its stockholders. While individual directors may not be liable, stockholders may have the ability to take action against a company or against any directors that are proven to act with fraud or gross negligence when conducting acquisitions, mergers or other deals that benefit the board at the expense and risk of the stockholders.
