Rulemaking Items for Discussion at the February 2014 Meeting
FINRA is conducting an assessment of firms’ approaches to managing cyber-security threats. FINRA is conducting this assessment in light of the critical role information technology (IT) plays in the securities industry, the increasing threat to firms’ IT systems from a variety of sources, and the potential harm to investors, firms, and the financial system as a whole that these threats pose.
On December 1, 2009, the SEC approved FINRA's proposed rule change to adopt a new set of rules governing clearly erroneous transactions in the consolidated rulebook.

The concept of efficient markets is a joke and short selling of any sort should be illegal. I have no faith in FINRA, DTCC, SEC, etc. Any further participation in the US market on my end will be through directly registered securities outside the DTC. Self-regulating organizations are non-regulated organizations. The SEC/DTCC/FINRA should have zero links to market makers, banks, and hedge-funds,

Read CEO Robert Cook’s email to firms previewing topics the Board is scheduled to discuss at the July 2024 FINRA Board of Governors Meeting.
FINRA rules require that member's communications with the public be accurate, fair and not misleading. An investor considering the series of a broker-dealer, including a "discount" broker, should be informed of all factors material to his use of such broker-dealer's services. There are many variables in the charges and services offered by broker-dealers and it isn't reasonable to expect that every variation be included in media advertising, given the expense of such advertising. Relevant factors not included in advertisements should be communicated to persons responding, however. Certain items should be included in the advertisement itself, when the advertisement would be misleading in the absence of their disclosure.
