IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF RALPH GANCHERO AND CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS WHO SUFFERED INVESTMENT LOSSES
If You Suffered Losses With Financial Advisor Ralph Ganchero at Citigroup Global Markets Please Contact the Law Firm of KlaymanToskes
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 31, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- National investment loss and securities attorneys KlaymanToskes issues an important notice to customers of financial advisor Ralph Ganchero and Citigroup Global Markets after their mismanagement of a customer's retirement accounts caused the investor to suffer approximately $375,000 in damages. The law firm urges all customers of Ralph Ganchero and Citigroup Global Markets who suffered investment losses to contact the firm immediately at 888-997-9956.
KlaymanToskes reports the law firm has filed a FINRA arbitration claim (Case no. 24-02693) against Citigroup Global Markets on the behalf of an investor who is seeking to recover damages of approximately $375,000 in connection with her financial advisor, Ralph Ganchero (CRD# 2601660), failing to follow her investment objectives and improperly managing her retirement accounts.
According to the claim filed by KlaymanToskes, Ralph Ganchero misallocated the investor's IRA and Roth IRA by placing funds in bond ETFs, including iShare Bond ETFs and Vanguard bond funds, and U.S. Treasury Bills, directly contradicting the client's instructions to invest in Growth investments with Moderate Risk.
Despite the investor's repeated requests over nearly two years for Ganchero and Citigroup to adjust the portfolio to align with her Growth investment objective, they allegedly failed to take action, resulting in substantial underperformance compared to growth model benchmarks like the S&P 500.
KlaymanToskes' investigation found that if the client's main IRA was invested in a growth benchmark, the account would have appreciated by nearly $350,000. Additionally, the client's Roth IRA would have appreciated by approximately $25,000.
The Quarterly Report for December 2023 shows that the IRA had an overall return since November of 2022 of 4.41% while the S&P 500 had a return of 18.58%. For the year 2023, the S&P 500 had a return of 26.29% while the customer's IRA had a return of 5.75%. In total, the S&P 500 would have produced a gain of over $375,000 for the customer.
Current and former customers of Ralph Ganchero and/or any other financial advisor who suffered damages at Citigroup Global Markets are encouraged to contact attorney Steven D. Toskes, Esq. at (888) 997-9956 or by email at [email protected] in furtherance of our investigation.

From Chandelier to Cube: The Versatile Forms of 6:AM's '▢ [quadrato]' Collection
Summary 6:AM Glassworkshas recently unveiled its new '▢ [quadrato]' collection, a visual statement that reinterprets Murano-blown glass through essential lines and geometric forms. This innovative series draws inspiration from the industrial lamps of the 1920s, blending the rational language of the Bauhaus movement with the minimalist aesthetic championed by Malevich. The resulting collection spotlights modular lighting pieces, where intricate details, such as air bubbles, grooves and transparencies, contribute to each product's unique narrative. ' ▢ [quadrato]' was debuted during this year'sMilan Design Week, where it was featured within theTwo-Fold Silenceexhibition held at Piscina Cozzi — a historic former public bath. This setting provided a unique immersion into the brand's creative universe, allowing visitors to experience the interplay of rationality and instinct, as well as form and intuition that define the collection. The collection offers a versatile range of lighting solutions, available in suspension, wall, table, and floor variations. A notable piece within the collection is the ▢ [EXIT], which features screen-printed lattimo glass and a painted iron structure. Inspired by emergency lamps from the '20s, its pattern replicates pre-plastic designs, blending functionality with artistic craftsmanship in a striking red and white palette. Another standout piece worth mentioning is the ▢ [quadrato 36], a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic chandelier. This striking installation, composed of 36 hand-blown glass cubes, recalls the purity of Bauhaus aesthetics. Its planar arrangement emphasizes geometric precision, forming a floating grid of illuminated cubes that can be inquired about upon request. Crafted from lattimo handblown glass and powder-coated iron, the '▢ [quadrato] collection' exemplifies 6:AM's commitment to transforming functional objects into aesthetic and architectural pieces. Prices vary between €900 – €5,200 EUR (approx $1,035 – $5,978 USD) across the collection, with the exception of ▢ [quadrato 3 being available upon request.

Analysts shows confidence in S&P entrant, raising target by 15%
Analysts shows confidence in S&P entrant, raising target by 15% originally appeared on TheStreet. The analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald have raised their 12-month price target for Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) from $253 to $292. Founded in 2012, Coinbase is the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. that went public in April 2021. Last month, it emerged as the first public crypto company to earn a spot on the S&P 500 index. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts led by Brett Knoblauch wrote in a recent note to clients that over the long term, Coinbase's trading activities will allow it to increase its market share and its activities outside of trading will materially alter "how investors view COIN." Though the analysts at Cantor lowered their revenue estimates for the crypto exchange by nearly 4%, they doubled down on an "overweight" rating on COIN. The note also mentions that the analysts don't expect "material upside" from these new products this year, but there could be a "profound" shift in investor perception by the second half of 2026 and into 2027. During the company's 2025 State of Crypto Summit, it announced on 12 June a partnership with Shopify to help merchants accept payments in USDC, a stablecoin issued by Circle (NYSE: CRCL). The service is available to early access merchants at Shopify and will expand to stores across the globe running Shopify Payments later this year. The exchange also launched a credit card the same day. Called the Coinbase One Card, it claims to give users a chance to earn up to 4% in Bitcoin rewards on every purchase. The COIN stock closed at $242.71 on 13 June as the Israel-Iran conflict shook the markets.

Stock Market News Review: SPY, QQQ Drop amid Israel-Iran Escalation, VIX Surge
Both the S&P 500 (SPX) and the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) closed the Friday trading session down by over 1% as the Israel-Iran conflict has escalated with Iran striking back at Israel. Rising geopolitical uncertainty benefits the Volatility Index (VIX), which finished with a sharp 19.7% jump. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter This morning, President Trump said that Israel's attack on Iran could actually benefit the market. 'I think ultimately, it would be great for the market because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon,' said Trump in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. 'It will be great for the market —should be the greatest thing ever for the market. Iran won't have a nuclear weapon that was a great threat to humanity.' On Truth Social, Trump urged Iran to sign a deal that would end its nuclear program. Crude oil futures jumped by about 7% today as the conflict threatens disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, which acts as a passage for nearly 20% of global oil shipments. To increase domestic production, Trump wants U.S. oil refiners to blend an all-time high of 24.02 billion gallons of biofuel into conventional fuels in 2026. Biofuels are an alternative to fossil fuels that are created from organic matter, like algae and crops. Meanwhile, consumer sentiment is on the rise, erasing six months of consecutive drops. The University of Michigan's preliminary June Index of Consumer Sentiment tallied in at 60.5, beating the estimate for 53.5 and rising from 52.2 in May. Year-ahead and long-run inflation expectations also fell. Still, consumers remain worried about the stock market, the labor market, and business conditions, with confidence levels in these areas well below where they were six months ago. On the trade front, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the U.S. and UK have made progress in reaching a final trade deal, saying 'There's nothing unexpected in the implementation, and so we haven't got any hiccups or obstacles.' The S&P 500 ended the week with a 0.41% loss while the Nasdaq 100 fell by 0.57%.
