Remarks By FINRA Chairman And CEO Rick Ketchum At The Security Traders Association Annual Conference

Date 13/10/2011

Thank you Jim [Toes] for that introduction, and thanks STA for the invitation to join you this morning.

Today, I want to reflect on recent market structure changes and the volatility that has defined the markets over the last year. Since the flash crash of May 6, the markets have not really stabilized. The CBOE Volatility Index has hovered between 35 and 50 since August 2011 with no apparent end in sight. Given no relief-based macroeconomic news, as the SEC considers a proposal to introduce limit up/limit down restrictions to complement single stock trading pauses and a proposal to narrow the triggers for and shorten market-wide circuit breakers, I think it's a good time to assess whether the markets have been sufficiently shored up in response to May 6 and whether we should be thinking about additional steps, consistent with continuing to facilitate efficient price discovery and market liquidity.
