How to Know if Your Stockbroker Is Ripping You Off: And What You Can Do About It

The author of this book went to war against the Wolf of Wall Street--and won.

You opened your account to make you money. Your broker opened your account to make himself money. Has he promised more than he delivered? Has she guaranteed you a profit on a trade? Has he bought or sold stocks without telling you? Has she tried to talk you into day trading? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you need to read this book.

Here, a veteran of four decades in the securities industry explains in plain, non-lawyer English how to recognize and prevent the most common kinds of stockbroker abuse, and how you can protect your rights in arbitration if your account is abused.

Brian Lowe has worked in brokerage houses and for consumers on 2,000 arbitrations. He spent five years as a non-attorney arbitration representative, recovering millions of dollars. He has seen brokers churn, lie to, and steal from their friends, their relatives, even their own spouses. He obtained the first judgment ever against Jordan Belfort, “the Wolf of Wall Street,” and his $2,000,000 in awards helped put the legendary fraud firm, Stratton Oakmont, Inc., out of business. Lowe has worked alongside the FBI, consulted with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and continues to work as Senior Legal Assistant at a Los Angeles-area law firm.
