    We are a grass roots organization made up of people who are tired of having
    Wall Street firms unjustly profit at our expense and having the SEC ignore our
    needs.

    We are an outgrowth of the National Coalition against Naked Short Selling
    (NCANS).

    Mission Statement


Our mission is to advocate the protection of equity securities investors and issuers of equity securities.


                    Purpose


    NIPC is necessary to fill a void left by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Despite the fact
    that the SEC is charged by federal statute with protecting investors and issuers as its number one
    priority, they have failed to adequately do so. Not only has the SEC failed to properly enforce the existing
    statutes to protect investors, but the SEC has adopted rules that actively harm investors and security
    issuers as well.

    NIPC is also necessary as a counterpoint to the strong influence exerted by Wall Street firms on all policy
    makers, including the SEC, as Wall Street interests and activities are often in direct conflict with those of
    equity securities investors and equity securities issuers.  

    In addition, the regulatory structure of the securities markets is heavily tilted in favor of Wall Street firms
    and against equity investors. In order to counter balance the influence the self regulatory organizations
    (SRO) and individual Wall Street firms have, an organization that represents the interests of equity
    securities investors and equity securities issuers is necessary.

    The SEC's number on directive is to protect investors. What ever the reason is as to why the SEC is
    ignoring this prime directive is irrelevant. It doesn't matter whether the SEC is pursuing ill conceived
    political goals or is overly influenced by Wall Street firms in their rule adoptions. What is relevant is the
    fact that investors and issuers are being harmed by the SEC’s bias towards Wall Street firms. For these
    reasons, investors and issuers are banding together in the National Investor Protection Coalition, in
    order to advocate and fight for their interests. Since nobody will adequately do this for us, we must do it
    ourselves.


                    Policy


    We support the principals set forth in the 1933 Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
    as amended. When we believe equity securities investors or equity securities issuers are being harmed,
    we will fight for their protection and their interests.
