Business Wire
KlaymanToskes (“KT”), www.klaymantoskes.com, announced today
that it is investigating damages sustained by current and former
employees and investors of MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM)
(“MGM”) who held large, unhedged concentrated positions in MGM
stock and/or received margin calls resulting in the forced sale of
stock. The recent losses were the result of unsuitable advice
during the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The investigation
focuses on full-service brokerage firms’ negligence and failure to
supervise the management of concentrated, leveraged positions in
MGM stock.
Investment portfolios holding large, concentrated stock
positions carry significant downside risks, especially when
leveraged by a margin loan. Full-service brokerage firms whose
customers hold large concentrated stock positions have a duty to
ensure that their customers understand the risks associated with
concentration and to disclose and recommend the availability of
risk management strategies. The failure to use risk management
strategies as well as the failure to “hedge” the value of a
concentrated portfolio directly exposes an investor’s concentrated
position to fluctuations in the volatile securities markets. Since
trading as high as 34.64 per share in January 2020, the price of
MGM stock dropped to 5.90 on March 18, 2020, a decline of nearly
83%.
The sole purpose of this release is to investigate whether
strategies deployed by full-service brokerage firms were suitable
for MGM employees and investors with concentrated, leveraged stock
positions. MGM shareholders who held accounts at full-service
brokerage firms, and have information relating to the manner in
which the firm handled their concentrated, leveraged portfolios,
are encouraged to contact Lawrence L. Klayman, Esq., at (561)
542-5131, and download our Special Investor Report.
