Cue the market downturn and I lost $20,000. I called again and begged him to get me out. He told me he would have my money out of the market by the end of the day — and it was. If he had moved my money out of the market weeks ago, much of my loss could have been prevented. I am frustrated and would like to be able to recoup some of my losses.

In an article on MSN, a reader recounts losing $20,000 due to their financial adviser's delay in selling investments during a period of market turmoil.
