Broker Comment: CLIENT HAD A HISTORY OF UNDECISIVENESS AND CANCELING TRADES. AS BRANCH MANAGER, I SHOWED THE CLIENT SEVERAL BONDS WHILE HIS BROKER WAS IN TRAINING AT THE HOME OFFICE. CLIENT AUTHORIZED THE TRANSACTION AFTER THE BONDS WERE EXPLAINED TO HIM. SIX MONTHS AFTER THE TRADE THE CLIENT ALLEGED MISREPRESENTATION BECAUSE THESE WERE "NOTES" INSTEAD OF "BONDS" AND BECAUSE IT WAS AN INVESTMENT IN DEBT OF CHASE MANHATTAN CORP. INSTEAD OF CHASE MANHATTAN BANK. ALSO AFTER SIX MONTHS (AND AFTER THE MARKET WENT AGAINST HIM...) CLIENT WANTED TRANSACTION CANCELLED. I STRONGLY DENY ANY CLAIM OF MISREPRESENTATION OR SUITABILITY. I HAVE OVER TEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A BOND TRADER, AND THREE YEARS IN MANAGEMENT, AND I CATEGORIZE THIS CLAIM AS FRIVOLOUS. IN THE INTEREST OF CLIENT RELATIONS, THE PURCHASE WAS CANCELED AND ACCOUNT ADDITIONALLY CREDITED THE SUM OF $1,000.
