I wouldn't dismiss it that easily. Legislation like this helped to fuel speculation on real estate. The average person became an investor in a specific asset class. The JOBS act could do the same thing with start-ups. The potential benefits you mention will probably materialize. But seeing as this is an economic issue, we have to look for what the tradeoff is.

>> The average person became an investor in a specific asset class. I don't know... "average" people could buy houses. I think it's when you push it out to the edge so everyone gets involved, then you have problems. Currently, "average" people can't even do these investments. Probably, won't be so bad, unless it becomes a bubble.
