What this video covers

  • Why the Uniform Securities Act (USA) of 1956 is the tested version, and why the 2002 Act is a deliberate exam trap
  • How the four-part structure organizes antifraud rules, registration of persons, registration of securities, and general provisions
  • Why the antifraud provision has no exemptions, and how exempt securities still trigger fraud liability
  • How the antifraud provision covers offers, sales, and purchases, protecting both buyers and sellers
  • The precise meaning of "effective" registration versus "approved," and why the Administrator never passes on merits
  • Why an exemption from registration does not imply state approval, and the unlawful nature of claiming otherwise
