I've never had reason to consider suing my broker (Fido), but have heard that it is an uphill battle even getting to court. In case you didn't read all the small print in the brokerage agreement, you probably signed away your right to sue at the time you opened your account. Arbitration is your only avenue to begin with. If it goes against you, you may be able to find a way of getting into a courtroom, but the NASD will fight you all the way to protect their control over broker/client relationships. Unless you have a great deal of money at stake, I'd stick to the arbitration process, though I'm led to believe is heavily weighted in favor of the broker. cuf
