Stock Market Fraud
Stock market losses are not indicative of wrongdoing. Any time the market does down, or a security declines in value, losses occur. However, stock market losses are due to stockbroker misconduct, including excessively risky investment recommendations, or the failure to perform due diligence by your stockbroker, may serve as the basis to file a lawsuit, or more accurately, an arbitration before FINRA to recover your losses attributable to stock market fraud.
The investment industry is subject to a strict set of federal regulations and self-regulatory rules that are purportedly designed to protect investors. When investment professionals break these rules and harm investors, injured parties may pursue a a claim for stock market fraud in arbitration before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or FINRA.
Common types of stock fraud perpetrated by investment professionals include claims of churning or excessive trading, unsuitable or excessively risky recommendations, over concentration, the failure to disclose risk, the failure to conduct due diligence, and placing their interests ahead of yours.
If believe that your stockbroker or investment professional engaged in stock market fraud or securities fraud through the sale of proprietary investment products, or defective financial products, or made false promises and misled you with fraudulent investment or financial planning advice to further their own financial interests, or the financial interests or production requirements of their brokerage firm, you may be able to recover your losses attributable to stock market fraud.
