Alan, unless you know Pug from somewhere else, I think you might be overreacting to his "thinking out loud" comments, though. I can understand the feeling, but you can apply that same feeling to thousands of other products/services. The SEC comparison isn't the best one.

To Pug. IMO, the SEC started regulating those things because of what a chain reaction/cascade of good or bad advice and practices can do to the entire economy. Then, they started the nitpicky regulation once they had their hand in there.

I'm not even sure I think that that regulation is necessary, but I certainly don't want to start overregulation the rest of the industries (fitness, cars, food, etc.) to that extent.
