    What are you talking about (thread title)? Stock markets are regulated, but they need tougher fines and restrictions. Heads should roll and related institutions must get regular inspections and audits to prevent more future financial disasters.

    You should change the thread title as it is misleading.

    I thought the stock market was ​regulated, and had been for years?

    It is. Of course some think it should be regulated more, and some think less.

    The death penalty?! You can't be serious.

    It has been regulated, in one form of fashion, for a long time. The Securities and Exchange Commission, for example, was created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    Ahhhh I understands, thanks you two. I did sort of wonder because I knew that there had been a lot of issues a while back with people doing highly dodgy deals, but that new laws were brought in to stop them. In fact, wasn't that basically what that recent DiCaprio film all about come to think of it?

    I can only imagine how awful the stock market would be if it wasn't regulated.

    It definately needs to be regulated, but corruption will always exist in smaller or bigger scales. Truly corruption wouldn't be as big with regulation, but it would still exist to make us honest traders look like poor people.

    I agree that it needs to be regulated. This is a lot of money we're dealing with any we can never be too careful.

    I agree that the stock market should be regulated. I further assert that without regulation of the stockmarket, it would be a free-for-all similar to the pre-1929 fall.

    Here is another question: Do you think the SEC is an adequate regulatory body? Do you think we need additional regulation or less?
