A coalition of 22 state attorneys general sent a letter to the Nasdaq stock exchange Thursday demanding answers over its “zealous desire” to push diversity quotas onto corporations listed on the exchange.
Nasdaq proposed a regulation in 2020 stipulating corporations have at least two “diverse” directors, including at least one woman and at least one person who is either “LGBTQ+” or a racial minority, before later reframing the rule as “aspirational and not mandatory,” according to the letter. The attorney generals then suggested the policy might conflict with state and federal anti-discrimination laws, and that Nasdaq only made it optional once confronted with legal objections.
“For more than three years, Nasdaq has defended as something other than a quota a policy that looks like a quota and acts like a quota,” the attorney generals wrote. “We require assurances that you have in place policies that ensure state and federal anti-discrimination law are followed.”
I just put Nasdaq on notice for the discriminatory gender, sexuality, & race-based quotas it sets for directors.
No matter how Nasdaq tries to spin it, we know that if it walks like a duck & talks like a duck, it’s a duck.https://t.co/GrKqfCCt6L

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
