He's not a nazi, he's a commie. Actually he's a democrat but such subtle
distinctions escape me. What MKM is talking about is a conversation I had in DC with a buddy of mine who is a commissioner on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. He said there is a move afoot to expand regulation of financial products like weather hedges, spark spread swaps and similar industry specific instruments that his agency has not regulated in the past. (they just regulate the commodity exchanges like the NYMEX, Chicago Board of Trade, etc.) He also made it sound like Enron Online had made his staff people more nervous about the lack of regulation over those kinds of products. The current strategy, he explained, was to solve the problem of the CFTC's arguable lack of jurisdiction over such products by getting the agencies with jurisdiction over the industry to which such products were being sold (i.e., the FERC as to energy products) to regulate the stuff based on the CFTC's guidance. I assume that Kean's group is on top of this, but I haven't had the chance to check yet. I talked to a guy in the DC office about 6 months about CFTC issues and will follow up with him on Monday and be sure they are aware of this leftist plot. I can't remember his name just now, but he works for Cynthia Sandherr, I think. I'll let you know what is going on after I talk to those folks.

I thought it was kind of frightening that he feels they need to regulate such a free market, although it was not clear exactly what he meant and I was not able to pursue it with him.
