QUOTE OF THE DAY

Comments made by President George W Bush when he nominated Congressman Chris Cox as SEC Chairman

“Chris understands how markets work, and he knows the need for transparency in financial exchanges and in the halls of business. He proved that he can bring people together of diverse opinions to get things done. That kind of leadership will be invaluable as the chairman of the SEC.

I've given Chris a clear mission: To continue to strengthen public trust in our markets so the American economy can continue to grow and create jobs. The nation is increasingly a nation of stock holders. A generation ago, only a small percentage of American families invested in stocks and bonds. Today, more than half of households are investing -- for their families and for their futures. Now more than ever, we must make sure Americans can rely upon the integrity of our markets. “

The MSM, this morning, was lamenting the nomination of Chris Cox as Chairman of the SEC. I almost fell out when the news reader said that it was a shame that someone as knowledgable and astute in the financial world as William Donaldson would be replaced by someone who was poor.

Makes one want to throw up their hands in disgust!
