GV, re: IPO quiet periods

This from an private message sent to me:

The quiet period (pre and post IPO) is mandated by the Securities Act of 1933.

I was incorrect in my first statement to you. The quiet period actually begins when the underwriter is hired which is considerably before the S1 (or SB for small businesses) is written. It is loosely enforced although I do remember the SEC halting an IPO of a grocery dot com business because the execs were shooting off their mouths.

Here is a definition
medicalpractice.medscape.com.

and a news article which discuss the issue.

mercurycenter.com

and a lot of detail here:

Not the worlds most important issue, but might as well get it right.
