												  Defenses to Customer Claims Against StockbrokersDEFENSES TO CUSTOMER CLAIMS AGAINST STOCKBROKERS Elizabeth Hoop Fay, Esquire Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP Philadelphia Foster S. Goldman, Jr., Esquire Markel Schafer & Goldman, PC Pittsburgh DEFENSES TO CUSTOMER CLAIMS AGAINST STOCKBROKERS I. DEFENSES TO CHURNING, SUITABILITY AND UNAUTHORIZED TRADING CLAIMS A. The Elements of Causes of Action for Churning, Unsuitable Recommendations and Unauthorized Trading 1. Churning of a brokerage account occurs when a broker who exercises control over the trading engages in an excessive number of transactions in order to generate commissions. See, e.g., Costello v. Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., 711 F.2d 1361, 1368-69 (7th Cir. 1983). To prevail on a churning claim, the customer must prove three elements: (1) control of the account by the broker; (2) trading activity that is excessive in light of the customer’s investment objectives; and (3) that the broker acted with scienter, i.e., intent to defraud or reckless disregard of the customer’s interests. Craighead v. E.F. Hutton & Co., 899 F.2d 485, 489 (6th Cir. 1990). 2. While a churning claim is a challenge to the quantity of transactions, a suitability claim challenges the quality of the investments recommended by the broker. To prevail on a suitability claim, the customer generally must prove: (1) that the broker recommended securities that are unsuitable in light of the customer’s investment objectives; and (2) that the broker did so with intent to defraud or with reckless disregard for the client’s interests. E.g., Brown v. E.F. Hutton Group Inc., 991 F.2d 1020, 1031 (2d Cir. 1991). 3.

												  Ladies of the TickerBy George Robb During the late 19th century, a growing number of women were finding employ- ment in banking and insurance, but not on Wall Street. Probably no area of Amer- ican finance offered fewer job opportuni- ties to women than stock broking. In her 1863 survey, The Employments of Women, Virginia Penny, who was usually eager to promote new fields of employment for women, noted with approval that there were no women stockbrokers in the United States. Penny argued that “women could not very well conduct the busi- ness without having to mix promiscuously with men on the street, and stop and talk to them in the most public places; and the delicacy of woman would forbid that.” The radical feminist Victoria Woodhull did not let delicacy stand in her way when she and her sister opened a brokerage house near Wall Street in 1870, but she paid a heavy price for her audacity. The scandals which eventually drove Wood- hull out of business and out of the country cast a long shadow over other women’s careers as brokers. Histories of Wall Street rarely mention women brokers at all. They might note Victoria Woodhull’s distinction as the nation’s first female stockbroker, but they don’t discuss the subject again until they reach the 1960s. This neglect is unfortu- nate, as it has left generations of pioneering Wall Street women hidden from history. These extraordinary women struggled to establish themselves professionally and to overcome chauvinistic prejudice that a career in finance was unfeminine. Ladies When Mrs. M.E.
