OptionSellers.com Losses – Recovery Options for Investors
The White Law Group continues to investigate potential securities fraud claims involving OptionSellers.com losses. If you have suffered losses investing with OptionSellers.com, you may be able to file a claim.
According to a statement from INTL FCStone Inc., the firm’s clearinghouse, on November 19, OptionSellers.com suffered devastating losses due to recent volatility in U.S. energy markets, causing accounts to be liquidated.
The Option Sellers.com losses were due to one of the most volatile weeks in the U.S. natural gas market in years. Natural gas reportedly posted its biggest one-day percentage gain in eight years, only to follow with its largest one-day loss in 15 years the following day.
INTL FCStone said in a statement, this natural gas volatility “caused liquidity stress” for commercial and institutional customers of certain futures merchants.
The statement didn’t mention that OptionSellers.com was reportedly improperly allowing options trades in IRA accounts on margin and did not trade options conservatively. Short calls are among the riskiest options strategies because it can expose a client to limitless risk. OptionSellers.com failed to properly hedge investors’ assets causing their portfolios to a complete loss.
Unfortunately, not only did investors lose all their money, but many will owe money to Intl FC Stone for margin calls.
