This strikes me as a good thing. For those who want the wild west, go to a private exchange. For those who want well-regulated companies, go to a public exchange.

To my knowledge, one must be an accredited investor to go to the private exchange. Thus, the rich are the only ones able to take the risks to become richer.

Well regulated. You made me laugh there.

Lots of regulation does not equate to effective regulation.
