A fair compensation

The majority of the investors who visit my block agree with my views, including my suggestion to seek compensation at between 50% to 80% of the amount that they have lost. My view is that both parties (i.e the financial institution and the investor) should share the loss. The distributor earns 3% to 5% commission for selling the product. If they have to compensate 50%, it will be 10 times (or more) of what they earned.

A few people, such as Zorro, disagree with this view. They like to seek 100%. They have posted their views in a rude way. I have asked them to give their name and e-mail addresss, and be the focal point for other investors who hold similar views. They can also set up another blog.

They can also send an e-mail to me, arguing their point of view. They should disclose their name and contact. I will post it up in the blog.

I am aware that some visitors to my blog represents the financial institutions. They are posting certain views to distract the investors. It will be more honorable for them to disclose their real identity and argue these points.

I continue to get postings from SiewKhim with the sole purpose of insulting me. If SiewKhim has a real grievance against me, he (or she) can send an e-mail to me, rather than continue to behave in this manner. I hope that he realise that he is causing a lot of harm to the thousand of investors who need genuine help.

The investors can take collective legal action. Many people have warned that this will be expensive and a long drawn out affair. I agree with this point of view. It should only be considered at the last resort. The investors should be properly briefed and be aware about the cost and consequence, before they take this action.
