Let your voice be heard! SEC Plans Hearings on Stock Markets 10/15/2002 19:05:51 EST WASHINGTON (AP) - The Securities and Exchange Commission is holding public hearings on the nation's stock markets on Oct. 29 and Nov. 12, the agency announced Tuesday. Topics will include the collection and distribution of market data; brokers' obligation to find the best prices for customers' trades; the role of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market and other conventional exchanges as well as that of newer electronic trading networks that compete with them; and the markets' system of policing themselves. The Oct. 29 hearing will be held at the SEC's headquarters in Washington; the Nov. 12 hearing will be at New York University's Stern School of Business in New York City. The hearings will be open to the public and broadcast on the Internet. The SEC, in the spotlight this year because of a wave of big corporate accounting scandals, held an "investor summit" in May at its headquarters. SEC officials received more than 600 questions from the public, many of them sent before the summit. __ On the Net: sec.gov
