Unauthorized Stock Trades

Business Law - Unauthorized Stock Trades

Definition:

Unauthorized stock trading is a type of stock broker fraud or broker misconduct. An investor must give a stock broker permission to make a stock trade. Unauthorized stock trades occur when a stock broker buys or sells a security without receiving your authorization or permission to do so.

Consequences of Unauthorized Stock Trades:

Sometimes, even reputable brokers may take advantage of their freedom to purchase stocks in order to increase their profits. Some brokers engage in churning, or excessive stock trading to increase commissions. Failure to get authorization from an investor to trade stocks can lead to financial losses. If you suspect unauthorized stock trades, it is advised to report it to a business lawyer.

What a Lawyer can do for you:
