Your brokerage firm had a reasonable obligation to oversee and supervise its brokers, who must do their due diligence on all investments. Your broker must take into account your age, net worth, investment objectives and investment risk tolerance, among other factors, before recommending or selling any investment. If he does not, his brokerage firm may be held liable for losses in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration forum. Obsidian Energy can be an extremely high-risk and illiquid investment that is not suitable for all investors because of the drop in oil prices over the past years.
