Investors Will Gain More Rights from Financial Reform

ADVERTISEMENTS
It has been a long process, but the end is near as Senate and House negotiators recently reached agreement on the major financial regulatory reform legislation called Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  In a press release by the House Committee on Financial Services, it notes that Congress ?must restore responsibility and accountability in our financial system to give Americans confidence that there is a system in place that works for and protects them.?
