I just saw a commercial, a straight-out commercial, for FINRA.  Slick, obviously expensive, in terms both of production and air-time.

WTF are they doing spending my money on commercials?  Are we really at the point where government agencies can lobby us in this way, with our own effin' money?

Where is FINRA's IG, for cryin' out loud?

EDIT:  DOH!  How dumb am I?  Pretty dumb.  FINRA's private (sort of).  NEVERMIND.

But wait - they are advertising with investors' money.
