An untutored foreigner, glancing at a few prospectuses, might be forgiven for concluding there is something wrong with the average resident of New Hampshire, for it seems they are uncommonly in need of being shouted at, at least whenever they come into contemplation in the course of a securities offering.
It isn’t, obviously, that New Hampshire residents are dense — or any denser than the rest of us, at any rate — for what they are being shouted at about seems complicated, convoluted and, in honesty, not the sort of thing that calls for such easy exasperation. It seems you would need to be quite some scholar in the local securities regulations for it to make much sense to you at all. Perhaps, by contrast, unnatural adeptness with securities offerings laws characterises the New Hampshireman, so much so that an offeror feels justified shouting at those who don’t quickly grasp the minutiae.
Or it might be the misconception that important stuff[1]just needs to be said conspicuously, and that means in capitals. But query how important is the usual New Hampshire residents disclaimer:
