Wall Street vs. Main Street: Part 2-Oklahoma counts down the days
By Mark Faulk
April 20, 2007


Oklahoma SB 979, which addresses fails to deliver in the stock market, is scheduled to be voted on by the Oklahoma House of Representatives early next week, probably on Tuesday. The Oklahoma Securities Commission and Securities Administrator Irving Faught are opposing SB979. This legislation is important, not only to Oklahoma, but to other states that are working on similar laws.


I spoke with Faught earlier this week, and he told me that the NASAA was opposing Oklahoma’s SB979 because it was “unconstitutional, unenforceable, and poorly-written.” However, the NASAA has stated that they NOT opposing SB979, and that they are remaining neutral on state legislation. I am still awaiting a response to my emails and phone calls from NASAA General Council Rex Staples. The NASAA has been a strong supporter of stock market reform both at the federal and state level.


I believe that Mr. Faught truly wants reform in the stock market, but his comments to me that he’s “relying on the SEC to eliminate the grandfather clause in Reg SHO” suggest that he might not have a grasp as to how complicit the SEC is in this system-wide failure. The countdown to the vote in Oklahoma comes as Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne “celebrates” 500 days on the Reg SHO list, which lists companies that have significant amounts of stock that has been sold by brokers, but never delivered to customers.
