Got a beef with your broker? If your brokerage can't resolve it to your satisfaction, you can seek arbitration.
That may be your only choice, since most brokerages won't open an account unless you agree to forgo lawsuits in the event of a dispute.

NASD says its data covers 90% of all claims involving U.S. brokerages.
