"Red flags"
Signal cautious investing |
Beware of...
high-pressure sales pitches, especially those that are inconsistent with the investment
goals that you and your financial counselor previously agreed to;
recommendations based on "confidential" or "inside" information;
promises that sound too good to be true — they probably are;
guarantees that you can’t lose money; all investments involve some level of risk; and
excessive account activity that you didn’t direct or authorize
|
|
Never...
send money to purchase an investment based only on a telephone sales pitch — get something in writing first;
make a check for an investment payable to the sales representative;
send checks to an address different from the business address of the brokerage firm;
or accept verbal confirmation alone that an error has been corrected.
