Engaging Conversations on SEC, Trading Issues, and Listener Feedback

From their speculative nature to the surprising number of these low-priced stocks trading on major exchanges, they explore why penny stocks are both risky and, at times, deceptive. With JR’s insider knowledge from his days at the SEC, they also touch on Virtu’s recent recommendations to the Commission on tightening the rules around penny stocks, including limiting insider dilution and cracking down on manipulation. Tune in for a whirlwind chat on trading, regulations, and what's really the deal with these tiny tickers.
