SOMES. E.C. RULES
TERMED HARMFUL
“Unreasonable Margins”
Scored by Spaid at Annual
Exchange Session.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.
Certain Securities and Exchange
Commission laws and regulations,
which were Intended to benefit the
public, have
proved harmful
to both the public
and the brokers
W. W. Spaid
Washing ton
broker, declared
•t the annual
convention of the
Associated Stock
Exchanges in
Cleveland today.
He also insisted
that speculation
cannot be stopped
by the exaction of
unreason able
margins. w. w. spaid.
As president of the association, he
made the keynote address, pointing to
the more vital changes in the broker
age business in the past year. In spi'a ,
of the mounting regulations governing j
the exchanges, he said, the regulation j
of the so-called "over-the-counter i
markets’’ remains to be dealt with ;
and the "purpose of all S. E. C. legis
lation falls unless this control can ac
tually be accomplished."
"Exacting unreasonable margins,"
Mr. Spaid said, "will drive legitimate
speculative funds to other markets |
where the requirements are not so j
high. I cannot find any other specu- |
Jative market that makes such an un- 1
reasonable requirement as 55 per cent !
of the market value or 122 per cent !
of the amount loaned. So that part !
of our business—that is, the carrying j
of securities—is on the way out. un
less. of course, these requirements are j
reduced.
V UI1MIM iinu
“I am fully aware of the fact that ,
6 E. C. laws and regulations are said i
to have been made for the benefit of !
the public and not for the brokers, but j
let us see if that is the way it is work- j
tng out. It is apparent that the idea
nf credit control by raising and lower
ing margins is pretty firmly imbedded
in the minds of those in authority.
Such a thing would be possible theo- !
retically if all markets were controlled; j
but where the control is of not more j
than 20 per cent or 25 per cent of all!
trading it cannot be effective.
• By this method, it is true, some
buying in listed securities on registered
exchanges can be stopped; but. may I
ask. of what value is this accomplish
ment when the money, thus removed
from the legitimate or regulated chan
nels, is driven directly Into the unreg
ulated, uncontrolled and unliquid
markets? The public certainly has not
been benefited; it actually has been
harmed.
"I make bold to say that as our mar- j
kpts exist at the present time such
activities will not only fail to accom
plish a regulation or control of credit,
but will do the public an injury as
well. I do not have to tell you that
this change in the use of speculative
funds. If continued, puts our commis
sion houses in the class of short-line
railroads and street car companies—
we are a decadent business,” he said.
Type of Business Changing.
"There is no doubt in my mind but
that the character of our business is
changing. For example, let us take
the commission house whose principal
business for years has been buying and
carrying stocks for its clients—the;
kind of an organization which has
come in for very little criticism.
“I feel safe in saying that heretofore
the business of a so-called commission
house has been about 75-per cent to 80
per cent in margin accounts. Today
over 50 per cent of its transactions are
for cash, and while this statement at
first blush might seem to justify the
theory that we are turning a nation
of speculators into a nation of in
vestors, that theory is far from the
truth.
"It is not the amount of margin de
posited in an account that distin
guishes speculation from investment,
but the character of the purchase.
Speculative securities purchased out
right are still speculations.
*' A t (VtA nrnenn f ti mo not- font rtf
the trading in stocks and bonds in this
country is not regulated. An increase
or decrease in margin requirements on
the 25 per cent of securities traded in
on regulated exchanges is not going to
change the economic trend of our
country or the business morals of our
people.
Sees Education Needed.
“No one knows better than we do
that during these seven lean years
Since 1929 the stock-broking business
has not been blessed with surplus
amounts of public applause. This atti
tude may be attributed partly to our
own mistakes—we have made plenty
of them—but mostly it is due to lack
of public understanding of the prin
ciples and purposes of our stock
exchanges.
"Our business is just as essential and
just as necessary to the present finan
cial set-up of this country as any other
economic factor of exchange. It is our
duty to see that the public understands
this fact. This can be accomplished by
education, by the elimination of bad
and unethical practices, and by the
expulsion from our business of dis
honest so-called brokers, who have no
objectives save the making of money,
regardless of the means employed,” lie
concluded.
