質問 2:
An investment adviser suggests that his client, Arnold, a 74-year old gentleman, should consider a reallocation of the assets in his portfolio. The adviser tells Arnold that he has far too much invested in bonds, which don't earn as much as stocks. He advises Arnold to take 80% of the money he has in bonds and invest it in an aggressive growth mutual fund that has provided an average annual return of 40% over the past three years.
Arnold is impressed and follows this advice. Shortly thereafter, there is a steep drop in the market in general, and the net asset value of the aggressive growth mutual fund falls 85%.
Does Arnold have any remedies available to him?
A. Yes. Arnold can sue for the amount of his losses, plus interest, court costs, and attorneys' fees.
B. Yes. Arnold can sue for the amount of his losses, plus interest, as well as an amount assessed by the court for "pain and suffering."
C. No. Arnold had the choice and got greedy. As the old saying goes, "Bulls get rich, and bears get rich, but pigs get led to slaughter."
D. No. The investment adviser had no way of knowing that the market was going to fall when he provided the advice, so the adviser did not fail in his fiduciary responsibility to Arnold.

質問 3:
AllTime Investment Advisers advertises that its phones are manned 24/7, so that a client "doesn't have to lie awake all night worrying about a financial problem." In fact, AllTime does have a answering service that answers calls in the evenings and on the weekends when its offices are closed. The service informs the caller of the firm's business hours, which will be the earliest opportunity the caller will have to talk to an investment adviser representative.
Is this a violation of any securities laws?
A. No. The firm's phones are manned 24/7, so it hasn't lied.
B. Yes. The Uniform Securities Act prohibits investment advisers from making deceptive statements in the solicitation of clients as well as in advising clients.
C. No. It's not a violation of any securities laws, but the firm probably won't retain many clients this way.
D. It depends. If, before a client signs a contract with the firm, it is made clear that investment adviser representatives are not, in fact, available to him 24/7, then AllTime is in the clear.
