Did Kevin Barbalace Cause You Investment Losses?
Kevin Barbalace of Baltimore, Maryland submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for allegedly making unsuitable investment recommendations to a customer. According to FINRA, while associated with Dawson James Securities, Inc. (Dawson James), Mr. Barbalace recommended and executed 46 trades in his customer’s IRA account which resulted in an excessive concentration of highly volatile low-priced stocks in the IRA. FINRA found that due to these securities transactions a loss of more than $7,000 was incurred. Without admitting or denying the FINRA findings, Mr. Barbalace agreed to the sanctions and was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and was suspended for 3 months.
Do You Need An Attorney Who Sues Stockbrokers Who Made Unsuitable Investment Recommendations?
Maryland has hundreds of stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices. With so many stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices, comes the potential for their stockbrokers, financial advisors, and other representatives to recommend unsuitable securities investments in light of the customers stated investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial condition, time horizon and other important factors and to engage in many other kinds of stockbroker fraud and stockbroker misconduct which violates Federal and Maryland securities laws and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules and stock brokerage firms policies and procedures.
Experienced Unsuitable Investment Lawyers Who Handle FINRA Arbitrations Throughout Maryland and Nationwide.
Are you a Maryland investor who has suffered significant losses in your stock brokerage and investment accounts? Did they recommend unsuitable securities transactions or strategies? Broker-Dealer attorneys always argue to the arbitration panel the securities transactions (buy, sell or hold) and/or strategies to engage in short selling, trade on margin, use securities based lending and complex option or futures trading strategies were suitable for the customer. They routinely misrepresent the customers’ investment objectives, risk tolerance and financial condition on account documents. Suitability claims can be based upon the stockbroker or investment advisor’s fiduciary duty, duty to use reasonable care, or FINRA Rule 2111. If you believe that your stockbroker or investment advisor made unsuitable recommendations, you need a skilled securities arbitration attorney who knows all the investments, investment strategies and stockbroker tricks of the trade.
