Opinion Leaders Speak Out

| | 7/18/2010 - Tim Fernholz, financial coverage specialist, The American Prospect
"The best way to consider this is not as a Wall Street overhaul, but that it changes the way we regulate Wall Street and that it brings previously hidden financial transactions – by hedge funds and others and in such things as derivatives and credit default swaps – into the limelight of open exchanges and regulation."

| 6/30/2010 - Michael Masters, hedge fund manager, Masters Capital Mgmt.
"The deregulation of derivatives created new products in commodities and other areas that really led to excessive volatility in our food and energy markets in commodities. Both of these areas had a negative effect for society and had a negative effect for the greater public."
CNBC | |
| 6/23/2010 - Michael Masters, equity hedge fund manager, Masters Capital Management, LLC
"Congress should reject the efforts by Wall Street to craft any exemption that includes financial entities"
CNN Money | |
| 6/23/2010 - Michael Masters, equity hedge fund manager, Masters Capital Management, LLC
"Currently, derivatives trade in an opaque, completely unregulated $600 trillion "dark market." The risk that this presents to the U.S. economy is incalculable, and the new legislation rightly seeks to create transparency by forcing most derivatives transactions to clear through a central counterparty, or clearing house."
CNN Money | |
| 6/20/2010 - Adam White, director of research, White Knight Research and Trading
"The New Dems have been saying that they are working on behalf of the end-users at the same time that Wall Street has been stuffing their back pockets with cash."
McClatchy Newspapers | |
| 5/8/2010 - Don Bowers, manager of petroleum, Superior Petroleum
"Wall Street speculators were controlling the price of crude oil and gas and other products even before the oil platform fire. They ran up the prices and then, after the fire, they raised it even more."
Valley News Dispatch | |
| 5/5/2010 - Fadel Gheit, managing director and senior analyst, Oppenheimer
"Oil prices are fully valued right now, I don’t think the economy really supports $80 oil, it should be much lower than that. Again, it’s speculation that put oil prices up."
CNBC | |
| 5/3/2010 - Fadel Gheit, managing director and senior analyst, Oppenheimer
"I really think the market is overreacting. Demand is still very weak."
CNBC | |
| 5/3/2010 - Peter Tertzakian, economist, ARC Financial
"Oil is a vital commodity we can't live without. That triggers a hoarding mentality when the world's economy is firing on all cylinders."
TIME | |
| 4/23/2010 - David Kirsch, analyst, PFC Energy
"We are so well supplied that if there are any hiccups in the demand picture a glut will form. Under the best of circumstances it will take some time to work off excess supplies."
