My 94 year-old mother was convinced to cancel a totally risk-free GIC and convert it to over $70k worth of HIGH RISK investments. These "investments" were redeemed after her death for approx $21K. I plan to approach Primerica and the Securities Exchange Commission regarding the ethics of selling "High Tech/High Risk Growth stocks to a senior. Surely any ethical salesperson would advise a woman of 90+ to avoid risk and stick to capital preservation. Any ideas on how to proceed to ensure this never happens to another old lady?
