  that's the only one I can thank of because once a security has been issued on the primary market, it can be sold again in the secondary markets like AMEX and NYSE. The reason why I didn't select A and B because those are both the same answers. Financial intermediaries facilitates the transfer of funds from savers and borrowers. I didn't select D because AMEX and NYSE are subject to regulation. I would like to know why I would be wrong. Some of these questions I have are the ones I have left that I want to make sure my thinking is correct.

  I misread D. You are correct. There are many secondary issues trades in regulated exchanges. ETFs are an example. I regret my error.
