Can I Sue My Stockbroker For My Investment Losses?

A Seasoned Broker Fraud Attorney Can Help You Explore Your Legal Options

That depends. Anytime you invest you are taking on some risk. It is not uncommon to make losses and gains on your investment over time, especially depending on what is going on with the markets, and no one is necessarily at fault. However, if your financial advisor engaged in some type of broker misconduct or was negligent and this played a part in your portfolio losses, you may be able to sue them for damages in FINRA arbitration.

This excessive trading allegedly impacted multiple customer accounts, resulting in costs of over $350K and losses greater than $465K.

Peakstone Realty Trust Investors May Have Reason To Be Wary

Our Skilled REIT Investor Loss Attorneys Can Help You Explore Your Legal Options

With Peakstone Realty Trust (NYSE: PKST), formerly Griffin Realty Trust, recently joining the New York Stock Exchange, and the dramatic reduction to the net asset value that its stock traded at, investors may have reason for concern. While its trading shares briefly went up since the debut—starting at $8/share and at one point closing at $40.45/share, but eventually dropping to under $20.00 a share. However, previous to all of that, its most recent reported net asset value (NAV) was $66.87/share after a reverse stock split that occurred in March. Many investors paid more than the reported NAV.
