I don't think individuals are regulated by the SEC, for example. Usually it's corporations that are. What are you thinking of?
- literallycancer 10y agoBasically, if a corporation can say/do things, and then claim it's just their expression and so protected under the First Amendment, shouldn't individuals be able to do the same? In general, not necessarily in finance; but surely there are fields where certified professionals are liable when something goes wrong based on their advice or decisions (say, accounting or civil engineering).
