Business Wire
KlaymanToskes (“KT”), www.klaymantoskes.com, announced today
that it is investigating damages sustained by current and former
employees and investors of Occidental Petroleum Corporation
(NYSE:OXY) (“Occidental Petroleum”) who held large, unhedged
concentrated positions in Occidental Petroleum 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 Occidental
Petroleum 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 60.73 per share in May 2019, the price of
Occidental Petroleum stock dropped to 9.00 on March 18, 2020, a
decline of more than 85%.
The sole purpose of this release is to investigate whether
strategies deployed by full-service brokerage firms were suitable
for Occidental Petroleum employees and investors with concentrated,
leveraged stock positions. Occidental Petroleum 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
