"You don't know a thing about the SEC, nor the Markets . I have no idea just where you got the idea that the SEC monitors every single thing that is said / done . Yes, they have issued regulations; most of which have caused far more harm than good, as is the case with so many governmental agencies. If the " alll powerful / all seeing / all knowing " SEC monitors EVERYTHING , then how is it, that Redbone was able to turn Miz HITLERY's 1,000 dollars into 100,000 dollars , illegally </B., oh so easily. BTW, it was NOT the first time that he had pulled off this kind of scam ( yes, dear, the SEC had chastened / punished him previously, for the same garbage ! ), nor was she the ONLY person, whom he had done it for. BTW ... the guys in Chicago, ALL laughed their collective socks off, at HRC's explinations. They ALL knew exactly how it had been done. You see, dear, the CBOT had long ago BANNED Redbone. The SEC didn't do a damned thing. Yes, dear, I DO know what I am talking about; unlike you."

Of course independent regulatory commissions have extensive authority in establishing and enforcing regulations. The SEC does regulate the buying and selling of stocks and bonds and oversees the operation of stock exchanges, to protect investors against fraud and other investment malpractices.

Any securities being offered for sale must be registered with the SEC. Stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange, muset follow numerous SEC regulations. The SEC regulates and monitors the percentage of cash down payment which must be paid for stock bought on the margin. The sale of futures, which are commodities purchased presently to be delivered at a later date, is closely regulated and monitored. The SEC also closely monitors and regulates mutual funds and I believe that you know what those are.

The SEC has the power to directly take action against violators of its regulations and it may also refer certain cases to the Attorney General for prosecution.

The SEC should have been investigating Halliburton a long time ago.

The first part of your post sounds as if it's taken from some FAQ page somewhere. Stock Market for Dummies, maybe?

Based on what?

The SEC IRS has the power to directly take action against violators of its regulations and it may also refer certain cases to the Attorney General for prosecution. The SEC IRS should have been investigating Halliburton 'eWW" a long time ago.
