Action status / disposition — filed text

THE CLAIMANT IS A FORMER CLIENT OF LESS THAN ONE YEAR. THIS WAS DURING THE PERIOD OF 3/2000-2/2001 IN WHICH A WELL DOCUMENTED MARKET DOWNTURN OCCURRED. THE CLAIMANTS SOUGHT TO HOLD RAYMOND JAMES AND MR. YIM RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES THEY INCURRED IN THEIR SECURITIES PORTFOLIO. CLAIMANTS ASSERT IN THEIR STATEMENT OF CLAIM THAT THEY WERE INEXPERIENCED, CONSERVATIVE INVESTORS WHOSE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES WERE FAR MORE CONSERVATIVE AND LESS RISKY THAN THE SECURITIES RECOMMENDED TO THEM BY YIM. HOWEVER, THE EVIDENCE SHOWED THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE. THE REALITY IS THAT THE PORTFOLIO OF CLAIMANTS STATED THAT THEIR PRIMARY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE WAS LONG-TERM GROWTH, THEY HAD A HIGH-RISK TOLERANCE, THEIR TIME HORIZON WAS GREATER THAN TEN YEARS AND THAT THE ASSET ALLOCATION THAT THEY RECEIVED WAS MOST SUITABLE FOR THEM. AS SET FORTH BELOW, CLAIMANTS INVESTED THEIR MONEY WITH RESPONDENTS IN MARCH OF 2000. RATHER THAN ACCEPTING THE RESULTS THAT THE BEAR MARKET AND A DECLINING ECONOMY HAD ON THEIR INVESTMENTS, CLAIMANTS SEEK TO HAVE RESPONDENTS GUARANTEE THEIR INVESTMENTS FROM MARKET LOSS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS CASE INVOLVES NOTHING MORE THAN BUYER'S REMORSE. OTHER ALLEGATIONS OF CHURNING FOR COMMISSIONS IS CLEARLY UNTRUE BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE TRADES WERE DONE IN A FEE BASED ACCOUNT WITH NO LOAD MUTUAL FUNDS. THE CLAIMANTS REQUEST DAMAGES OF $110,000 PLUS LEGAL COSTS AND ALL OTHER FEES. THIS WAS FOR HIS COMPANY PROFIT SHARING PLAN, INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS AND IRA ACCOUNTS. THE REDUCED JUDGMENT OF $44,000 WAS ONLY FOR THE PROFIT SHARING PLAN. ALL OTHER ALLEGATIONS FOR THE OTHER ACCOUNTS AND LEGAL, ARBITRATION AND PUNITIVE FEES BY THE CLAIMANT WAS DENIED.
