class action suits.

Myself and my husband ,we actively participate in the stock market.During 2000 to 2002 a few stocks of ours become worthless. the share holders of these stocks filed class action suits.We used to get lot of materials by mail, asking us to fill up information about how many shares we had and how much loss we occured.But my husband never fills any of them. He says even if we win the case, after the legal fees , we don’t get that much. So he thinks that it is waste of time.I don’t know whether his decision is right or wrong.
