Broker Comment: October 13, 2015To Whom it May Concern, I Charles Malico (CRD #: 1507282) have been conducting business with [customer] since approximately January 2011. [customer] opened an account at MidAmerica Financial Services, Inc. in September 2014. At that time he opened an account as a speculative investor. [customer] signed the New Account Form to reflect speculation and active trading, along with a signed Margin Agreement. [customer] was sent updated paperwork on February 24, 2015, to confirm his Risk Tolerance and Investment Objective. Again, [customer] signed and returned the updated paperwork the same day. Thisagain confirmed that [customer] was fully aware of his Investment Objective.Prior to his account at MidAmerica, [customer] was a client of mine from approximately January 2011. From that time [customer] followed me from Global Arena Capital Corp, to Liberty Partners, to B.B. Graham & Co. back to Global Arena Capital Corp and finally to MidAmerica Financial Services, Inc.During those 4 years [customer] discussed in detail how his other portfolios were performing. He often compared me to be other brokers, continuingly telling me he had extensive experience, including option trading. He told me on many occasions that he was a sophisticated investor. [customer] stated on more than one occasion that he traded options at J.P. Turner. He questioned me as to why we did not trade options in his account at MidAmerica Financial Services, Inc. Again, this confirmed that [customer] was an experienced and active trader.[customer] started trading on Margin at MidAmerican Financial Serv. Inc. in September 2014, he was fully aware that account was held on margin as his account was held on margin at Global Arena Capital Corp. I discussed all trades with [customer] prior to execution. We spoke on a regular basis, an estimated 3 to 4 times a week, our conversations ranged from discussing trades, his overall account status to sporting events. On each trade [customer] received a confirmation, confirming his transaction. [customer] never questioned or complained about his account being on margin. [customer] signed his complaint with Finra on June 30, 2015. However, [customer] never informed me of his complaint, and during the time period from June 30 until August 28, during that time, prior to all trade executions, [customer] approved approximately 25 transactions in his account. In addition [customer] has signed 2 activity letters dated December 3rd, 2014 and February 13, 2015. On May 18th, 2015, my supervisor contacted [customer] to discuss his account. At that time [customer] did not disclose any problems or dissatisfaction with his account or Mr. Malico. All [customer's] allegations are without merit.SincerelyCharles MalicoMidAmerica Financial Services, Inc.Registered RepresentativePhone #: 631-815-5020.
