Securities commission

A securities commission is an organization that regulates the buying and selling of stocks, bonds, and other investments. The job of a securities commission is to make sure that people buying and selling investments do it in a safe and fair way. They do this by making rules about how and when investments can be bought and sold. They also investigate when something goes wrong and take action if there is a problem. This helps to protect people from being taken advantage of when buying or selling investments.
