为了让读者更好得理解联邦法院意图,笔者此处写出判决中此段原文。The demand notes here may well not be “investment contracts,”but that does not mean they are not “notes”. To hold that a “note” is not a “security” unless it meets a test designed for an entirely different variety of instrument “would make the Acts’ enumeration of many types of instruments superfluous” and “would be inconsistent with congress’ intent to regulate the entire body of instruments sold as investments.” 在这里,Marshall大法官的判决借鉴了Landreth Timber一案的判决,读者可以参阅Supreme Court of the United States, 1985, 471 U.S. 681, 105 S.CT. 2297, 85 L.Ed. 2d 692.
