Author: It has been well noted in the Federal law that:
Congress enacted the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, ch. 686, 54 Stat. 847 (1940)(current version at 15 U.S.C. § 80b-1 to 80b-21 (1994)) both to protect the public “from the frauds and misrepresentations of unscrupulous tipsters and touts” and to safeguard bona fide investment counsel from the “stigma of the activities of these individuals.” S. Rep. No. 1775, 76th Cong., 3d Sess. 21-22 (1940), as quoted in 7 L. Loss & J. Seligman, Securities Regulation 3329 (1991).
