The Outsider Trading Scandal
from the let-insider-info-be-free dept
Chris Regan writes "George Gilder argues for free speech in the marketplace --and exposes SEC rulemakers as intellectually challenged info-nazis." It's not so much that the SEC are "info-nazis". They have a good basis for the rules that they've made. The problem is that their theories don't tend to stand up in practice. Definitely worth reading the article though, as this is a view that I haven't really heard elsewhere.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
