The Securities Exchange Act of 1933 regulates newly issued securities, such as those being sold through an initial public offering. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulates securities that are already being actively traded on the secondary market.
Rule 147 (intrastate offerings) permits a company to avoid registration of securities if it has a “reasonable basis” for believing potential investors are all within a single state. Also, the issuing company need only be mostly—80 percent—within the same state.
The term "security" is defined broadly to include a wide array of investments, such as stocks, bonds, notes, debentures, limited partnership interests, oil and gas interests, and investment contracts.
