[edit] PIPE: a category of its own

PIPEs are distinct enough in nature and a big enough market that they deserve their own listing, separate from "private placement."

As a student in Finance I am compelled to agree with the former poster - that "PIPE" deserves to have its own slated and distinct listing. There is an entire chapter in my course text dedicated to PIPE's alone.

I removed the link, but I'm putting it here for consideration. --SueHay 00:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Towards the end of this article it mentions "we provide our clients" in the section below. I assume Wikipedia doesn't mean its readers, so this should be corrected.

Form D SEC Filing: The Form D is the notification filing that is sent to the SEC in Washington, DC. It notifies the SEC that you are using the Regulation D program and provides them basic information on the company and the offering. It is not an approval document or registration - it is merely a filing that notifies the SEC that you have a Regulation D Offering in place. 3. Marketing: The offering is now ready for marketing to investors. We provide our clients the capability to implement a diversified marketing campaign that involves NASD brokerages, Internet Marketing, and Direct Investor Marketing tactics.

[edit] This article is WRONG

There are many gross over-simplifications in this article, even for an encyclopedia intended for a general audience. Worse, there are some clearly incorrect statements. For example: "Private placements can only be sold to certain sophisticated investors. In the U.S. these are called accredited investors ..." Anyone with even a casual understanding of Reg D should know that is not true. Depending on which rule applies, there are dollar limits and/or limits on the number of non-accredited investors, but there is no requirement across the board that every purchaser must be an accredited investor. -- DS1953 ^talk 19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I completly agree on this point. As per Rule 502 both Accredited and Non-Accredited investors can participate with certain different rules applicable in both these cases - hotmaildhiraj

It looks terrible!
