Which regulations are those?  I thought the problem
was responsibility to shareholders are free to
purchase shares without believing in, or even
knowing, the company's plans for long term growth,
and thus focus only on the short term data (which
must also be provided, to try to prevent scams) and
demand immediate return on investment.  This would not
ultimately place responsibility on the government
regulations.
