Stock Market Losses

Sometimes monetary losses in your brokerage account could be the fault of your financial consultant and NOT the stock market going down in value. Most people are surprised to learn they can actually file a claim against their stockbroker. The National Association of Securities Dealers and Securities and Exchange Commission have rules and regulations that require brokerage firms to only invest their clients in suitable investments. Below are some questions to ask yourself if you think you have a claim:

1. Was your portfolio concentrated in high-risk stocks?
2. Were you placed into a lot of technology or risky stocks?
3. Were you sold an annuity in your IRA account?
4. Were unauthorized trades made in your account?
5. Was your portfolio churned by an unscrupulous strategy of buying and selling stocks in order to generate excess commission?
6. Did you lose your entire nest egg as a result of your broker's advice?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may be able to recover the losses in your brokerage account.
