Praise for Investor's Guide to Loss Recovery Rights, Mediation, Arbitration, and Other Strategies

"Louis Straney's Investor's Guide to Loss Recovery is a must-read for any investor. Broker negligence and wrongdoing are significant problems for today's investor. Lou Straney recognizes that investors need to know that they can recover losses caused by brokers and investment firms. This well-organized and thoughtful book is an important guide to the type of help available. The book's straightforward and understandable format makes it easy for the investor to grasp how the recovery process works. Kudos to Lou for shining light where light is much needed!"—Robert K. Savage, Visiting Clinical Assistant Professor, Investor Advocacy Clinic, Florida International University College of Law

"Investment fraud is one of the last taboos. Those who have been victimized rarely talk about it and are humiliated—typically by someone they've known and trusted for a long time. Louis Straney pulls away the thick curtains and shines a light on one of the darkest subjects in our culture. What do you do if you (or a client) have been fleeced? Straney will help you find justice and compensation in the midst of a broken system that does little to protect individual investors. This book is essential for anyone interested in investment fraud and deception."—John F. Wasik, author, The Cul-de-Sac Syndrome: Turning Around the Unsustainable American Dream

"In this book, Lou Straney has demystified arbitration. I lived a 3-D walkthrough of the arbitration process, and it felt?like being with Straney in the arbitration room. This arbitration guide is an extraordinarily relevant demonstration that recovery of losses is possible if conducted properly. It's a must-have for investors!" —M. Messaoud Abda, CFE, CICA, CGA, CSI, MBA, FICB, Professeur - Directeur, Programme de Lutte contre la criminalité financière?Faculté d'administration, Université De Sherbrooke - Campus de Longueuil

"What I can say is that in my situation, where it was a David and Goliath, where I stood alone against a large brokerage firm, Lou revealed more in this book than I'd learned in sixteen years from my broker. This book should have been on my shelf ten years ago!"—Karen Rey, RN, Territory Sales Manager, Alaska, Neuromodulation Division, St. Jude Medical
