Dodd-Frank: Title IX - Investor Protections and Improvements to the Regulation of Securities

Read a random definition: exclusive license

A quick definition of Dodd-Frank: Title IX - Investor Protections and Improvements to the Regulation of Securities:

Dodd-Frank is a law that helps protect investors and improve the way securities are regulated. It creates groups like the Investor Advisory Committee and the Office of the Investor Advocate to give advice to the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and help investors. The law also requires the SEC to study the financial literacy of investors and the rules for brokers and investment advisors. It makes companies disclose more information about executive compensation and gives shareholders the power to vote on it. The law also improves the way credit rating agencies work and requires securitizers to keep some risk. Finally, it limits the SEC's required disclosures and rewards whistleblowers who report violations.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dodd-Frank: Title IX is a law that amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to increase investor protection, improve the regulation of credit rating agencies, asset-backed securitization process, and corporate governance. It also increases regulatory enforcement and remedies for violations.

Example 1: Title IX creates an Investor Advisory Committee (IAC) within the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) composed of ten to twenty members that the SEC appoints to serve four-year terms. The IAC advises the SEC on current issues from an investor’s perspective and provides the SEC with regulatory recommendations to promote investor confidence in the integrity of securities markets.

Example 2: Title IX requires credit rating agencies to file additional disclosures analyzing the accuracy of their prior credit ratings. Credit rating agencies must also consider credible information provided from sources other than the securities issuer. This is to ensure that credit rating agencies’ performances are matters of public interest because of the immense reliance placed on credit

Dodd-Frank: Title IV - Regulation of Advisers to Hedge Funds and Others | Dodd-Frank: Title V - Insurance

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."

I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
TheAdoptedOne
11:28
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy

I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?

the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
TheAdoptedOne
11:33
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality

I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes

it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video

"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
