"Belt And Suspenders" - Opening Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton At The Open Meeting Of The Commodity Futures Trading Commission

Date 06/12/2011

When I listen attentively to average investors and consumers address concerns with the economy, retirement or the markets, sooner rather than later they raise the issues of trust, risk and security. Simply put, they are less than optimistic that businesses, accounting firms or regulators have the ability—and many question the simple desire—to protect customer funds. They see firms engaged in highly complex risky, unethical and sometimes even illegal activities that result in not only exposure, but staggering financial losses. Many of them opt to reduce their exposure themselves by pulling their money out of the market. A fellow emailed me last night that because nearly all of his money was at MF Global and he doesn't have access to it, that his family is currently living on his kids' college fund. Stories like those aren't isolated. We, all of the Commissioners, get those not infrequently.
