Which is complete BS. The only thing it really means is if the person loses a lot of money, they still have more. Accredited investor stuff needs to be flushed down the toilet. Stop protecting people from themselves.
lylec305 - the link you posted relates to non registered securities. Are you planning on funding your trading by having your customers crowdfund you ? Who told you they need to be accredited - a b/d ?
Funding is coming from friends and family. Someone mentioned accredited investors, I'm not interested in them at this point. I think I have all the info I need for startup, thanks for your advise, most have been very helpful.
