i. present Ms. Newbie with an order to purchase securities on Mr. Nomad's behalf.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Mr. Nomad's friend can engage in the activities described in Selections I and II only. A limited power of attorney gives Mr. Nomad's friend the authority to buy and sell securities on Mr. Nomad's behalf, but not to make any cash withdrawals. He would need a full power of attorney to be able to do so.
