John Alex (CRD: 2020710) settled customer disputes at Morgan Stanley and UBS Financial Services between 2011 and 2025, according to BrokerCheck, which lists him as John L. Alex.

Soreide Law Group is reviewing possible investor claims against securities broker Kurt Stein (CRD#: 3159180, New York, New York). Notably, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) reports that two of Stein’s clients at Merrill Lynch and National Securities Corporation contested his sales practices. These disputes suggest that Stein misrepresented investments and was responsible for his clients’ losses.
Apparently, Kurt Stein worked for National Securities Corporation from 2018 to 2019. Evidently, a client of National Securities Corp disputed Stein’s sales practices through bringing FINRA Arbitration #: 19-03502 on December 10, 2019. Namely, the customer’s dispute concerned allegations of Stein misrepresenting direct investments. It is possible that Stein made a false or misleading statement or otherwise misled the customer. It appears that the client sustained $35,000 in losses because of Stein’s actions. However, Stein denies the client’s allegations of misrepresentation in this ongoing matter.
BrokerCheck shows that Kurt Stein worked for Merrill Lynch from 2001 to 2018. Apparently, a Merrill Lynch client contested Stein’s actions through bringing FINRA Arbitration #: 10-03697. Similar to the National Securities Corp client, this Merrill Lynch client suggested that Stein misrepresented investment information. Supposedly, the client acted on false or misleading information about CDOs, and sustained losses after buying those investments. For this reason, Merrill Lynch opted to compensate this client to the tune of $128,250.
