The 20 Biggest Wealth Destroyers of the Past 30 Years

06:44pm, Tuesday, 08'th Feb 2022 Kiplinger
When folks think of the worst stocks of the past 30 years, Lehman Brothers, Enron or Arthur Andersen are but three among legions of notorious names that might immediately come to mind. Yet somehow, those corporate catastrophes don''t come near cracking the top 20 stocks that destroyed the most shareholder wealth in recent history. That''s partly due to the depressing fact that there''s simply too much competition. SEE MORE The 22 Best Stocks to Buy for 2022 The respective popping of the tech and real estate bubbles in the U.S. and Japan; an appalling catalog of corporate malfeasance, malpractice and fraud; and the Great Financial Crisis make for a crowded field when it comes to the wholesale destruction of shareholder wealth since 1990. But before we get to these all-time drags on shareholder performance, let''s start by defining our terms for wealth creation and destruction. What Is "Wealth Destruction"? Hendrik Bessembinder, a finance professor at Arizona State University''s W.P Carey School of Business, takes a different tack when it comes to studying the best and worst performing equities.
"Ditch The Misinformers" - Neil Young Attacks Spotify CEO, Big Banks In Latest Open Letter One day after Spotify CEO Daniel Ek penned a memo to Spotify employees explaining that "silencing Joe Rogan" isn''t the answer, musician Neil Young hit back with another open letter of his own, this one urging Spotify employees to quit over the platform''s spreading of "misinformation" - while also urging Americans to withdraw their money from the biggest US banks over their financing of fossil fuels. Furthermore in his statement, Young criticized Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, insisting that he was the problem. Speaking to Spotify employees, Young said: "I say Daniel Ek is your big problem - not Joe Rogan. Get out of that place before it eats up your soul. The only goals stated by Ek are numbers, not art, not creativity." He also encouraged musicians and other artists to take their content elsewhere, while asking consumers to find something better to support "with their monthly checks." "To the musicians and creators in this world, I say this: You must be able to find a better place than Spotify to be the home of your art." Young pulled his music from Spotify last month, inspiring a handful of other musicians and podcasters to do the same, and setting off a controversy over the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast that has lurched from COVID misinformation to Rogan''s "language around race". "In our communication age, misinformation is the problem.
The firm''s global investment strategy team said it wasn''t too early to invest in crypto, but clearing regulatory roadblocks would likely create "higher quality investment options" in the future. Wells Fargo Investment Institute, the research division of Wells Fargo Wealth and Investment Management, has released a report highlighting the potential of cryptocurrencies as an investment opportunity akin to the early days of the internet. In a report today titled Cryptocurrencies Too early or too late? , the banking giant referred to cryptocurrencies as viable investments today, but hinted there was no rush for investors to enter the still maturing market. Wells Fargos global investment strategy team said it did not subscribe to the idea that it was too late to invest in crypto, given that the space is relatively young in terms of other asset classes. According to the banking giant, the technology behind crypto is following an adoption path similar to that of the internet in the early-to-mid 1990s, when consumers still needed time to figure out what the technology is, what it can do, and how it can benefit them.

The Superior Court in Fulton County, Ga. overturned a decision by FINRA after plaintiffs argued the firms counsel unfairly manipulated a list of arbitrators.
NEW YORK, Feb. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National investment fraud lawyers KlaymanToskes express their support for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority''s ("FINRA") arbitration forum. On January 25, 2022, a judge in Georgia state court issued an Order overturning an arbitration award in favor of Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) which held that the firm and its counsel "manipulated" the arbitrator selection process. While we believe that the alleged conduct is both inappropriate and shocking and must be addressed, absent this misconduct, we continue to believe that FINRA arbitration remains the most equitable forum for investors. Unlike litigation in a court of law, FINRA arbitration is a faster, less costly, and more efficient forum for investors to attempt a financial recovery. For instance, while court cases can span several years without a resolution, a FINRA arbitration has historically taken approximately 18 months to reach a conclusion. Importantly, approximately 69% of customer cases result in settlement.
