Abstract

The PSLRA protects securities fraud feasors by insulating them from traditional fraud liability without basis in policy or economics. Indeed, radical deregulation like this is economically risky, and a threat to the long term stability of American financial markets. Other alternatives, such as arbitration, could operate to preserve deterrence while diminishing the costs of securities litigation.
