net-capital rules

Read a random definition: keeper

A quick definition of net-capital rules:

Net-capital rules are basic financial-responsibility standards that securities brokers must follow. These rules require brokers to maintain a minimum level of capitalization and to keep their total debt below a certain level. The Securities and Exchange Commission created these rules to protect investors and ensure that brokers have enough money to cover their obligations.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Net-capital rules are basic financial-responsibility standards established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules require securities brokers to maintain a minimum level of capitalization and to keep their aggregate indebtedness below a specified multiple of their net capital.

Example: A securities broker has a net capital of $1 million and a specified multiple of 10. This means that the broker's aggregate indebtedness should not exceed $10 million. If the broker's aggregate indebtedness exceeds this limit, they may be in violation of the net-capital rules.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the net-capital rules work in practice. The SEC requires securities brokers to maintain a certain level of financial stability to ensure that they can meet their obligations to clients. By setting a minimum level of capitalization and limiting aggregate indebtedness, the SEC aims to protect investors from potential losses due to broker insolvency or other financial difficulties.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
