Unfortunately, the investors in the large Chinese Internet companies, especially in the past two years, have lost a major part of their investments. Baidu (BIDU), is down 40 percent, Sina (SINA) down 60 percent, and Renren (RENN) down 85 percent. The once popular investments are now finding a huge decline.

The decline can be attributed in part to a sluggish performance of the Chinese market. However, Chinese Internet companies have their own specific problems. The majority of these companies suffer from a lack of profitability, and some have had problems with regulators both in China and the U.S.

If you have experienced financial losses due to your stockbroker or financial advisor’s recommendations in these and other Chinese Internet companies, call Soreide Law Group for a free consultation with an attorney at: 888-760-6552.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and the SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy,have issued a new Investor Alert called Year-End Investment Considerations for Individual Investors. This new alert provides individual investors with a few suggestions for year-end investment planning as the year draws to a close.

“The end of the year is a great time to take stock of your financial situation and make sure your investment plan is meeting your needs,” said Gerri Walsh, FINRA’s Vice President for Investor Education. “Taking some time to carefully manage your investment portfolio can pay dividends in the coming year.”

The Year-End Investment Considerations outlines five areas investors should focus on when making decisions regarding their investments:

Consider Rebalancing. Some of your investments will grow faster than others. Rebalancing your investments will allow you to adjust your investment portfolio so not to overemphasize one or more asset categories.

Asset Allocation. The end of the year is a time to review your overall investment portfolio and evaluate your existing asset allocation.

Check Out Your Investment Professional. Many investors do not realize that they can check the background of a broker or investment adviser by using FINRA BrokerCheck or the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website.

Tax Considerations. Investors interested in learning what impact tax rates, including potential changes in the tax laws, may have on their investments under different financial scenarios should consult their tax adviser or visit the IRS website.

Locate Your Financial Records. Prepare a list identifying your financial records, including a list of financial accounts and all user names and passwords.

Securities Lawyer, Lars Soreide, of Soreide Law Group, represents clients nationwide before FINRA.
