Answer to Question 1

The definition is broad to be as encompassing as possible to try to protect investors in as many ways from as many different people as possible. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court has excluded only an employer pension plan in which employees are not required to make contributions from the definition of securities.

Answer to Question 2

Betty could try an intrastate offering if her business will remain in one state. She could also try a short-form registration. Or she could try Regulation D. Rule 504 fits if she registers the offering in her state. If she wants to limit investors, she could try a 505 or 506 offering. She has several options and need not do a full-blown SEC registration.
