Some brokers lie about things you need to know in order to properly decide whether to invest. Some brokers don't lie, exactly, but they withhold certain facts that might affect your investment decision. And some brokers who misrepresent or omit facts are simply careless. Whether the broker's misrepresentation or omission is fraudulent or simply negligent, if it caused you to make a poor investment, the broker and his investment firm may be liable for your loss.

Every investor is entitled to have certain basic information about an investment before buying it. If your broker recommended an investment, but failed to inform you of fact that might affect your decision to invest -- for example, that the investment was extremely risky or that his firm would pay him a larger commission than normal for selling that stock -- you could pursue a claim against the broker for omitting facts. On the other hand, if you invested because the broker gave you false information, such as telling you that a stock was a low risk investment when it actually was volatile and risky, you could pursue a claim against the broker for misrepresenting facts.
