This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and CFP designation. He is passionate about opening up information to help everyone prepare better for financial certification exams. This episode covers content for the SIE Exam. In this episode you will learn: - The key difference between the Securities Act of 1933 (primary market) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (secondary market). - Why the Act of 1933 is called the "truth in securities" law and its focus on prospectuses and registration statements for new issues. - How the Act of 1934 created the SEC and governs ongoing reporting for public companies, like 10-K and 10-Q filings. - Common exam traps, such as the misconception that the SEC "approves" securities rather than just clearing them for sale. - The limits of SEC enforcement power, specifically that it can impose civil penalties but must refer cases to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
