A security is a type of transferable interest representing financial value. Securities may take a number of different forms, including stocks, bonds, notes, collateral trust certificates, voting trust certificates or investment contracts. Securities attorneys represent clients in transactions and legal disputes related to stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and initial public offerings (IPOs). Securities attorneys may represent a corporation or shareholders in a securities fraud lawsuit against officers and directors of the corporation, or may assist clients in matters involving the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Baileyville is an unincorporated community in Ogle County, Illinois, and is located west of Rockford. In August, 2007, it marked its sesquicentennial with parade featuring the Baileyville Hillbillies, a group of townspeople who own a truck similar to the famed Beverly Hillbillies' Buick truck. The group decorates the truck in a manner similar to the truck in the television show, and dressed like the Clampett characters, rides in local parades.
