[edit] NASD Merger

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

 The result was merge NASD into Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. -- John M Baker (talk) 21:51, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

FINRA was created through the consolidation of NASD and the member regulation, enforcement and arbitration operations of the New York Stock Exchange. The consolidation, which was announced on Nov. 28, 2006 and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 26, 2007, became effective on July 30, 2007. The NASD page should be merged into the FINRA page. See last NASD/first FINRA press release on http://www.finra.org/PressRoom/NewsReleases/2007NewsReleases/P036329 --11:30, 16 January 2008 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.234.157 (talk)

Oppose proposed merger with no justification and no explanation. Gene Nygaard 15:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Support the justification is that the NASD is no longer a SEPERATE entity - it is encompassed within FINRA and thus I think the NASD article should be merged into the FINRA article -Timberlax 05:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timberlax (talk • contribs)

Support the proposed merger. NASD and FINRA are, after all, the same thing; FINRA is just the name NASD took when NYSE Regulation was merged into it. It might make sense to have a separate article if the NASD article were a historical article discussing the pre-merger entity, but that is not the case. John M Baker (talk) 23:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Support the proposed merger. They were merged to cut down on the redundancy in the regulatory actions and laws. It would be fine to have a historical section in the merged topic. Geoffvf (talk) 05:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FINRA and Madoff?

Has FINRA been at all involved in the Madoff investment scandal?--DThomsen8 (talk) 16:33, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Professor Mercer Bullard has written to criticize FINRA's failure to detect the Madoff problems. Madoff's firm was subject to regulation and examination by FINRA. Bullard says only FINRA, which is not really true - the SEC had oversight and could conduct examinations too - but it is true that FINRA had primary responsibility.
