July 1st, 2007 - Hello everyone, Hope you are having a great summer.

If you attended our convention last August in Kitchener you will remember Stan Buell, President of Small Investors Protection Association speaking on how people are being scammed by their investors.

Stan Buell, Art Field, President of National Pensioners and Senior Citizens Federation
and myself attended The Justice Stakeholder Summit on Sunday, June 24th and Monday June 25th and were able to make many good requests on your behalf.

The Small Investors Protection Association (SIPA) president Stan Buell is now preparing a submission, but needs some case studies from members to support their submission.

One of the concerns is the way complaints are handled by the industry and regulators and the time required. We need stories outlining the steps you took, the attitudes you encountered, the time it took, and the results you achieved. Most disputes are resolved out of court with gag orders.

Tell us. We will not include any names (of investors, registrants or investment firms.) Any information you can provide will be of great assistance for this initiative.

We need your support. If your dispute is settled your story could help others less fortunate, or still facing an issue. If you are aware of court decisions, please let us know.

Thanks for your support.
