The number of U.S. investment banks dropped by more than 50% in the last 5 years, largely due to over regulation. These are American investment banks that provide critical financing and growth capital for America's Emerging Growth Companies. Pretty soon, the well intentioned U.S. regulators such as the SEC or FINRA will only have themselves to regulate. Over regulation kills jobs in America.
