These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

2 later decisions quote this exact passage“First, it examined the transaction to determine the motivation that caused the borrower and the lender to enter into it. Second, it examined the "plan of distribution" of the note to determine whether it is commonly traded for speculation or investment. Third, it examined the reasonable expectations of the investing public. And fourth, it examined whether there was another regulatory scheme or some other factor that significantly reduced the risk of the instrument, thereby causing the application of the securities laws to be unnecessary to protect the public.”
