> having a robust legal position is still rather important

Zero competent securities lawyers will argue waiving FINRA arbitration universally puts one into a more robust legal position.

For most Americans, it waives significant consumer safeguards and opens up realms of litigation tactics that are barred by industry rules but not law.

I'd believe this in very specific contexts but I can't find any reliable explanation of what those might be. Can you point me to anything worthwhile to read on the topic?

I am fairly certain that consumer and employment pre-dispute arbitration agreements are strongly negative but I haven't learned enough about FINRA/securities arbitration to have a strong opinion.

In general, forced arbitration is not an effective legal posture for investors, and a common instrument applied to suckers.

Sociopath structured parasitism always poses a liability around treasure. Handle or hire your own due diligence solutions... Seriously, don't assume either of our nonsense applies in your country. =3
