Section 6(b)(5): The rules of the exchange are designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest; and are not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers, or to regulate by virtue of any authority conferred by this title matters not related to the purposes of this title or the administration of the exchange.
The end game is to get the stock trade again in one way or another, everything else in ancillary to that. - Carlton Huxley
