I’m impressed with the work the CFTC has done here. The final version ultimately will be challenged in court, but whatever you think about event contracts, the existing rules are problematic. The statute is filled with undefined terms whose meaning has been left to the eye of the beholder. Again leaving policy choices aside for the moment, putting meat on the bones will be helpful to the public, the Commission, and its staff.

This is good news, but if you’re wondering what makes a perp a futures and not a swap, you’ll have to keep wondering.

I worked for some really great Chairmen and Commissioners. And I also worked for some other people.

"The suspensions were just one of many ways in which the C.F.T.C., the primary regulator of a specialized sector of the financial markets, has been mowed down by the powerful business interests it is supposed to oversee, a New York Times investigation found."

NYT out with a jaw dropping investigative report on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 60 Minutes reported last Sunday on some of this, too. The NYT report is a must-read, the 60 Minutes report should then be watched. 1/3
