A quick definition of Investment Advisors Act:

The Investment Advisors Act is a law made by the government that controls people who give advice about investing money. The Securities and Exchange Commission is in charge of making sure that the law is followed. This law is important because it helps protect people who want to invest their money from being cheated or misled.

A more thorough explanation:

The Investment Advisors Act is a law created by the federal government and enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Its purpose is to regulate investment advisers, who are professionals that provide advice to people and companies about investing their money.

For example, if you hire a financial advisor to help you decide how to invest your retirement savings, that advisor is likely subject to the Investment Advisors Act. The law requires them to register with the SEC and follow certain rules to protect their clients.

Another example might be a company that manages investments for wealthy individuals or institutions. They would also be subject to the Investment Advisors Act and would need to follow the rules set out in the law.

Overall, the Investment Advisors Act is designed to ensure that investment advisers act in their clients' best interests and provide accurate and honest advice. It helps protect investors from fraud and other unethical practices in the financial industry.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
