To: jmac who wrote (110297 ) 9/19/2000 2:36:27 PM From: Road Walker Read Replies (2) | Respond to of 186894 jmac, Another way to approach the situation is to complain to the SEC. Following is taken from their web site with an Email address for this type of complaint: marketreg@sec.govThis mailbox may be used to send inquiries, communications, requests for information, and correspondence to the Division of Market Regulation, which oversees the operations of the nation's securities markets and market professionals. Topics of inquiry may include the Commission's rules applicable to national securities exchanges, national securities associations, clearing agencies, transfer agents, and broker-dealers (such as requirements regarding recordkeeping, customer protection, net capital, customer confirmation statements, margin and extensions of credit, penny stocks, soft dollar arrangements, and electronic delivery of information). Inquiries also may address the Commission's rules with respect to trading practices, market manipulation, payment for order flow, and short sales. Investors with specific questions or complaints, however, should contact the Commission's Office of Investor Education and Assistance at 202-942-7040 or by e-mail at help@sec.gov. Inquiries regarding the disciplinary history of particular persons associated with broker-dealers should be directed to the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. at 1-800-289-9999. This mailbox may also be used to send requests for interpretive, exemption, or no-action letters to the Division of Market Regulation. (Note: Exemptive relief applications made under Section 36 must be sent to exemptapp@sec.gov.) Remember that your e-mail is not confidential, and others may intercept and read your e-mail. At this time, requests must be in standard e-mail text or ASCII format so the staff can easily read and print the letters. The letters should include the telephone number of the requestor. These letters will be processed by the staff in the same manner as requests submitted in paper.
