OWNED
Ahh, you're right on the State Thing... didn't really think much of researching the topic earlier, but now I see you're right. I'm not much of a financial guy... hence why I never said my word on the subject was golden.... in fact, I inferred the opposite throughout my post.

As far as the FTC/SEC thing goes...

First off, read the rest of the thread's posts, smart guy.

Secondly I don't have time to prepare an essay on the thing, but, needless to say, the FTC was founded two decades before the SEC was (which wasn't brought about until after the Great Depression), and, technically, their jurisdictions overlap in the area of your claims. Read their charters.

"OWNED"? Ya... I got 'grown up' things to do now. Have a nice day.
