Welcome to Let's Talk Markets with Dave Lauer and co-host Pink, where we discuss and demystify the experience of investing in the US Stock Market. We’ll cover everything from market trends, to reform advocacy; from community to culture... Nothing is off-limits. What started in the meme-scattered depths of reddit's investment communities has sparked a worldwide movement of investor education on everything from Ticker-specific Due Diligence to Direct Registration and beyond. And we're here to talk about it!

The SEC Takes the Fun out of Non-Fungible

This week we discuss the SEC, NFTs, and other TLA's (Three-Letter Acronyms) Monday, August 28th marked another milestone in the SEC’s quest to exercise control over the rapidly expanding crypto space. The Commission charged L.A.-based media company Impact Theory, LLC for selling unregistered securities in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The SEC argues that Impact Theory’s “Founder’s Keys”—which it used to raise $30 million in capital—qualify as investment contracts. If this is indeed an ...

Take me to the Autopilot- The FINRA Fiasco

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is usually the one handing out judgements. But just last month, the powerful self-regulatory agency (SRO) kind of got its own butt handed to it. A July decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit could ultimately undermine the very core of FINRA’s mission. Today, we are asking a fascinating question. Is FINRA unconstitutional? Recent court decisions say…maybe? This week we welcome Ben Edwards, Professor at the William S. Boyd Sch...

One Token Over the Line

It looks like the private party is over for cryptocurrency. Last week, the SEC filed two suits in rapid succession, accusing leading cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Binance on trading unregistered securities. In doing so, the Commission is making an important claim, one that will likely shape the future of virtual currency. In short, the Commission says cryptocurrencies are securities. If true, any unregistered exchange that sells these currencies, or any exchange which sells these currenc...

Waive ‘Em Around Like You Just Don’t Care

This week we discuss SEC waivers granted to those with the elite 'WKSI' status. In 2005, the SEC introduced an innovative new issuer category called Well-Known Seasoned Issuer status. Qualifying for this status is a license to party. As a WKSI, you have access to SEC-issued waivers. These are granted in the event of a criminal conviction. The way the SEC explains it, “A waiver, which could include conditions or undertakings, may be granted if a review of all of the facts and circumstances leads ...
