38. Any person engaged in the business of buying and selling securities for such person?s own account (through a broker or otherwise) as part of a regular business must register as a dealer with the SEC or, in the case of a natural person, associate with a registered dealer.

does that mean that the millions of retired people around the country have to register as dealers with the SEC or associate with a registered dealer if they engage in buying/selling stocks in the market as part of a regular business?
