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. DF

Dan also made a comment when we were chatting that the trading floor and EOL
tour was "discouraging in a way" because they were not yet prepared to
regulate such activities. 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.
