“securities market in which previously issued securities are traded among investors”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“accepting such “statistical tracing” would impermissibly expand the statute’s standing requirement [since every] purchaser [of the issuer’s securities generated pursuant to any registration statement] would have standing for every share, despite the language [of the statute] limiting suit to “any person acquiring such security.” ... We decline the invitation to reach further than the statute. The fallacy of [the investors’] position is demonstrated with the following analogy. Taking a United States resident at random, there is a 99.83% chance that she will be from somewhere other than Wyoming. Does this high statistical likelihood alone, assuming for whatever reason there is no other information available, mean that she can avail herself of diversity jurisdiction in a suit against a Wyoming resident? Surely not.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Section 11 of the Securities Act, imposing civil liability for public offering of securities pursuant to a false registration statement, permits any person acquiring such security to sue. While Section ll’s liability provisions are expansive—creating “virtually absolute” liability for corporate issuers for even innocent material misstatements—its standing provisions limit putative plaintiffs to the “narrow class of persons” consisting of those who purchase securities that are the direct subject of the prospectus and registration statement.”
