Referred to as one of the most embarrassing and damaging episodes in Wall Street's history, a much awaited settlement involving 10 major brokerages, the SEC, the stock exchange, and state securities regulators ended with a $1.4 billion historic deal in 2003. These days, allegations of securities fraud can be found widespread through newspapers, magazines, and other news media. The Wall Street analyst scandal exposed practices that were well known to have been going on, however investor confidence was severely injured because of it.

Market forces are constantly changing with the slightest influence, and investors must first distinguish if the losses were the result of fraudulent practices.
