Regulation of Securities, Markets, and Transactions

Regulation of Securities, Markets, and Transactions A Guide to the New Environment Securities laws, securities regulations, and the rules of self-regulatory organizations are changed often. Some of these changes are driven by the normal course of competition and innovation between and within markets, by advances in the technologies that support the operations of markets, or by the global integration of markets.
