I dont really identify with a political party by the way.I do believe we differ a bit from Greek or Eurozone countries bc we issue our own currency and have the reserve status.

The only way to handle this without a complete obliteration of the market place and world of currency is to inflate,inflate and inflate some more.

If you look at the definition of a security here:www.sec.gov/about/laws/sa33.pdfyou find:(1) The term ‘‘security’’ means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a ‘‘security’’, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.I've highlighted some of the terms that could refer to a loan.Now, like Corey Dutton I don't really think the SEC trolls craigslist looking for these ads.

In the last couple of years, many people here bought properties in Myrtle Beach, which has had a volatile market for resort properties.The tourism has done pretty well even during the crisis as many foreigners especially Canadians have taken the currency exchange advantages, and as a result, the Myrtle Beach airport is expanding.

@Shaun Reilly,In substance the two do not differ because they are both a "Security", though the loan may come from a lender and fall under lending regulations.If the loan is from a private person you are technically still engaged in offering a security by strict definition.From the SEC:Sec. 2 SECURITIES ACT OF 1933The term ‘‘security’’ means any note, stock, treasurystock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture,evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participationin any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate,preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share,investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of depositfor a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, orother mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilegeon any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities(including any interest therein or based on the valuethereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege enteredinto on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency,or, in general, any interest or instrument commonlyknown as a ‘‘security’’, or any certificate of interest or participationin, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guaranteeof, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, anyof the foregoing.

We love living here in the UK, but there are drawbacks to investing here, to include the currency differences.

Those most applicable for a CFPB examiner will be first within their agency domain, then in light of other agencies such as FDIC, Comptroller of Currency or Treasury Department regulations pertaining to lending, if an examiner can't peg the issue at that point, it's questionable if the examiner can determine an enforceable violation under their jurisdiction. :)Go Mizzo!

There's a huge appetite for USD world-wide but I suspect our currency is diluted at this point.

Every super power and every fiat currency fails.

Overseas, you have the extra concerns of currency and local economy (ie potential base closure) to factor in.
