ATTENTION ALASKA AIR EMPLOYEES/INVESTORS: KlaymanToskes Commences Investigation into Damages Sustained in Alaska Air Stock He...

Business Wire
KlaymanToskes (“KT”), www.klaymantoskes.com, announced today
that it is investigating damages sustained by current and former
employees and investors of Alaska Air (NYSE:ALK) who held large,
unhedged concentrated positions in Alaska Air stock and/or received
margin calls resulting in the forced sale of stock. The recent
losses were the result of unsuitable advice during the Coronavirus
(“COVID-19”) pandemic. The investigation focuses on full-service
brokerage firms’ negligence and failure to supervise the management
of concentrated, leveraged positions in Alaska Air stock.
Investment portfolios holding large, concentrated stock
positions carry significant downside risks, especially when
leveraged by a margin loan. Full-service brokerage firms whose
customers hold large concentrated stock positions have a duty to
ensure that their customers understand the risks associated with
concentration and to disclose and recommend the availability of
risk management strategies. The failure to use risk management
strategies as well as the failure to “hedge” the value of a
concentrated portfolio directly exposes an investor’s concentrated
position to fluctuations in the volatile securities markets. Since
trading as high as 72.22 per share in November 2019, the price of
Alaska Air stock dropped to 20.02 on March 18, 2020, a decline of
nearly 70%.
The sole purpose of this release is to investigate whether
strategies deployed by full-service brokerage firms were suitable
for Alaska Air employees and investors with concentrated, leveraged
stock positions. Alaska Air shareholders who held accounts at
full-service brokerage firms, and have information relating to the
manner in which the firm handled their concentrated, leveraged
portfolios, are encouraged to contact Lawrence L. Klayman, Esq., at
(561) 542-5131, and download our Special Investor Report.
