A Future SEC Chairman?
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™
[Editor-in-Chief]

Harry Markopolos is finally taking his victory lap. He is out hustling a new book about his nearly decade-long pursuit of Bernie Madoff, and rightful criticism of the Securities Exchange Commission [SEC].
And, he’s been on a whirlwind media and PR tour of sorts: CNBC, MSNBC, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”, etc. Still, we’ve written about him before on this ME-P
No Schadenfreude
According to one trade magazine essay, Markopolos finally seems relaxed and at peace. Bernie Madoff is in jail. The Feds are closing in on his accomplices. Markopolos clearly is having some fun. After being ignored for so long, he’s finally the center of attention – on his terms.
But to be sure, schadenfreude was not a philosophy taught to Harry and I, while students back-in-the-day, at Loyola University Maryland.

Conclusion
And so, your thoughts and comments on this ME-P are appreciated. In my opinion, Harry would be a much better SEC chairman than Mary L. Schapiro, the 29th SEC Chairman [January 2009] -or- Christopher Cox, the 28th Chairman [June 2005].
Dare I say it … I’m just wild about Harry.

An interview with Harvard economic historian Niall Ferguson
“Fixing the banking system should always have been the No. 1 priority of the U.S. government,” according to Harvard economic historian Niall Ferguson, the author of “The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World.”
While recent rhetoric suggests the Obama administration is finally waking up to the importance of pursuing such changes, in this essay by Eric Uhlfelder, Ferguson saw little evidence that governments, here or abroad, have done enough to alter the status quo.
“The banks have become even bigger and their leverage has barely dropped – “and with the economy having seemingly moved away from the brink of meltdown, the urgency for change has been slipping away.”
Furthermore, he believes the focus on the symptoms of the financial crisis, rather than the root causes, is leaving the world even more vulnerable than it was a year ago.

What do you think? Does Obama need to work less on healthcare reform, and more on banking, investing and financial services industry reform? Will the SEC ever get its act together? Will there ever be real fiduciary accountability in this business sector?
Where are all the far sighted – and correct – Casandra’s like Harry Markopolis?
