Regulation FD

Read a random definition: trade association

A quick definition of Regulation FD:

Regulation FD: A rule created by the SEC in 2000 that requires companies to share important information with all investors at the same time. This helps to prevent some investors from getting information before others, which could give them an unfair advantage. The information could be about things like earnings, mergers, new products, or changes in auditors. This rule is also known as Regulation Fair Disclosure or Reg. FD.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Regulation FD, also known as Regulation Fair Disclosure, is a rule established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in October 2000. This rule requires companies to disclose important information to all investors at the same time.

The purpose of Regulation FD is to prevent some investors from receiving information before others, which could give them an unfair advantage in making investment decisions. This information could include earnings reports, mergers and acquisitions, product discoveries, changes in auditors, and any other information that could impact a company's stock price.

Example: Let's say that a company is about to release its quarterly earnings report. Before Regulation FD, the company could have given this information to a select group of investors before releasing it to the public. These investors could have used this information to buy or sell the company's stock before the rest of the market had a chance to react.

However, with Regulation FD in place, the company must release this information to all investors at the same time. This ensures that everyone has access to the same information and can make investment decisions based on a level playing field.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
