In the present paper, we discuss contra-arguments concerning the use of Pareto-Lev\'y distributions for modeling in Finance. It appears that such probability laws do not provide sufficient number of outliers observed in real data. Connection with the classical limit theorem for heavy-tailed distributions with such type of models is also questionable. The idea of alternative modeling is given.
