How about this? If there should be regulation, it is still up in the air who should do the regulating. It is not a foregone conclusion that it should be government. What about an Underwriters' Labs for stock brokers, which might arise in the free market if there is a demand for its services. Brokers could voluntarily submit to scrutiny by Underwriters' Labs, and then display the lab seal in its advertising, and might have to charge more to cover the cost of its lab membership. The consumer could choose. There would be no coercion.

For example antitrust regulation, banking regulation, SEC, FDA or FEC regulation? Don't must Libertarian believe ther are some industries that should be regulated like health, energy, finance(since they are so secretive and crooked)?
