Absolutely there needs to be regulation in place! Without it there would be far too many shady deals going on.
That's pretty much why things like this are regulated. In republics the governments entire job is to even the playing field. They represent the less powerful, that's why there are laws against stealing and people have civil rights, so the strong don't take advantage of the weak. In this case it protects the novice investor against the rich and powerful.
Obviously, am with everyone else on this. The Stock Market needs regulation or it will get out of control in a hurry. People with lots of money would just have a total dominance over most of everything. While they still sort of do, there's at least an opportunity for the small investor to make a name for himself and some money.
This is an obvious question. Off course it definately needs to be regulated. Investors and companies needs to be protected from each other. There are information that needs to be confidential and transactions that needs to be standardized. Without this, it would be very hard for the investors to trust anyone hence lead to a market crash.
The regulation of the market it's a huge joke if you ask me. Sure, it's a necessity, but at the same time the owners of the game do not allow it, so who is going to regulate the markets?
Ahah, good one diane, regulation of the markets it's a joke as we all know it, there is no will to make that happen.
I believe there should be some regulation. Regulation opens the doors for a lot of things that are beneficial. But, some times it can be a doubled-edged sword due to the extra cost that may come with being compliant.
Regulation is surely in place to keep the market honest (Well, as honest as possible that is...). A good way to save humans from themselves.
