The Federal Government’s Take on the Stock Market in 2022

How would the Federal government take on the stock market in 2022? As the country’s economy struggles to make a comeback after the great recession, people are skeptical about whether the economy could strengthen within a short time. With the stock market being a robust financial entity that incorporates both large and small players, it is up to the federal government to regulate its activities.


Experts: S&P 500 to rise nearly 9 percent over the next year.

They expect a gain of 8.7 percent, with the market projected to rise from its close of 4,223.70 on June 16 to 4592.60 by June 2022. Notably, every single analyst who offered a projection expected the S&P to rise over the period. (Bank Rate)


Without the federal government rules and regulations, investors are vulnerable to unfair play regarding the exchange and ownership of corporate entities on the open market. Moreover, as the economy struggles to get back on its feet, we expect to see the federal government take on a more hands-on approach to several key stock market activities.

Day Trading

Buying shares and selling them later will have stricter regulations from the federal government to protect novice traders from risky participation. The reason for this is to prevent the loss of large sums of money due to ignorance. In addition, these federal laws aim to reduce the use of the stock market as a gambling arena.

Day traders will be required to use brokerage accounts, also referred to as margin accounts, where they can access loans from brokers. In addition, the law will require traders to have a total of $25,000 in stock and finances in their brokerage accounts. The account risks being suspended if this doesn’t happen, which may last up to 99 days.

Going Public

The primary purpose of the stock market is mainly to facilitate the transition of private corporations to public-owned entities. Federal law dictates that public companies need to disclose information so that people are aware of the company’s health instead of private companies.

In the future, companies that make the transition to public ownership will have to regularly file financial statements to provide a scope of their debts, salaries, and earnings, among other relevant information.

Broker Registration

For most people to buy and sell shares in the stock market, brokers act as middlemen who conduct the transaction. Therefore, the government aimed to increase restrictions for the brokers to enhance fairness in the stock market and determine who should be a broker and who should not.

Organizations that transact activities on the stock market on behalf of the client will be required to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission by law. All these restrictions are geared towards establishing a dealer and a broker since most companies operate as both.

Trading Business & Stock Market in 2022

For individuals who rely on the stock market for livelihood, the government aims to regulate how their income is taxed instead of other traders. For those who meet certain status, the Internal Revenue Service grants them “trade status,” which protects them from limitations associated with the capital gain tax.

This means that their trading activities will be considered regular income, and that their income is affected by normal fluctuations and that most of their earnings come from trading. They are also supposed to provide sufficient evidence of year-round trading activities and participation in the stock market.
