Oil, Gas, and Energy Investment Losses

OIL, GAS, AND ENERGY INVESTMENT INVESTIGATION

Believing that oil, gas, and energy sources will always be in high demand by consumers across the globe, investment advisors have historically touted investments in those areas as conservative avenues for customers to see steady growth and income in their portfolios.  However, energy are actually highly volatile investments.  When oil supplies greatly outnumber the demand for oil (as the industry saw in recent years), oil prices drop; and investors whose portfolios are over-concentrated in that area experience significant losses.  In 2014 and 2015, the price of crude oil fell to astonishing lows; and investors who had been led by profit-and-income-promising financial advisors to invest heavily in energy stocks instead felt the sting of those price drops.

Similarly, several up-start oil drilling and energy companies relying on funding from investors through private placements and limited partnerships have themselves over-promised and under-delivered for their investors in recent years.  Promises of wealth from oil drilling in Alaskan oil reserves and abroad have gone unfulfilled, and investors expecting to be awash in profits have instead seen their investment capital disappear in mismanaged, non-performing, and misrepresented investments.

Silver Miller is investigating, and has already commenced lawsuits against a number of, investment advisors and privately-funded oil, gas, and energy companies who have misled investors about the safety of investing in this risky area.  Knowledge is the only true power on which you can rely, and our team of attorneys has the knowledge and the power to assist investors who have been improperly and imprudently duped into investing in this oftentimes dangerous realm.
