As we can see with the problems we are presently facing in the marketplace, SEC regulation hasn’t really worked all that well when it comes to investment banking and securities corporations. It’s hard to believe that giving them more
authority over the insurance industry is in the best interest of anyone. By the way, all those made-up concerns about EIAs seem strange when, in the midst of a market collapse, none of them have lost a dime. So other than their own power base, just who is the SEC really interested in protecting?
