Wagner Delivers Remarks at Hearing to Conduct Oversight of the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets
“Thank you all for joining us this morning. Today’s meeting represents the first in a long overdue series of hearings where we will hear directly from division directors at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “Given the historic, and unprecedented, volume of proposed rulemakings being advanced at the SEC under Chair Gensler, it is imperative this Committee hold public hearings featuring the SEC staff responsible for overseeing these rulemakings. “Today’s witnesses are important because the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets impacts a wide variety of stakeholders participating in our public markets, including millions of main street investors saving for retirement, a down payment on a house, or their children’s future. “I’d also like to note that it’s been more than four years since this Committee has had the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets testify. I can assure you, that will not be the case under our leadership.
“Just last December, the SEC advanced four proposed rulemakings that will dramatically overhaul our current market structure and how it functions. “Typically, when agencies seek to make meaningful reforms, they do so by advancing one targeted proposal at a time, and by presenting clear and convincing evidence of a problem or failure warranting such a drastic policy change.
“In the case of market structure reform proposals under Chair Gensler, the SEC has done neither. “Instead of starting with one surgical proposal and observing its impacts after implementation to assess the need for additional proposals, Chair Gensler and Director Zhu have taken a wrecking ball to every corner of our current equity market structure in one fell swoop. “And they’ve done so without any definite explanation or identifying any systemic market problems or failures. “You might be saying to yourself, ‘well, surely the SEC can point to some economic effects of the proposals that justify such major reforms.’ “Yet again, the SEC comes up short. Throughout its economic analyses of the proposals, the SEC explicitly concedes numerous times that the economic effects of the proposals are unknowable. “If that wasn’t enough, the SEC’s economic analyses are also improperly based on data the SEC itself admits is outdated and inaccurate.
“For example, to justify three of the four proposals, the SEC utilizes rule 605 reports, which provide trade execution quality information monthly. At the same time, the SEC staff has acknowledged that these reports have limitations and need reform. “These deficiencies are not limited to the market structure proposals put forward by the Division of Trading and Markets. “The division has authored additional proposals that inexplicably overlap and for which their impacts have been inadequately analyzed. “It is vital the SEC only issues regulations that are absolutely necessary, and to avoid burdening main street investors. That is why I will be reintroducing the ‘SEC Regulatory Accountability Act.’ “This legislation, which has passed in previous Congresses with bipartisan support, will make sure the SEC does not arbitrarily implement unwarranted and complex rules. “My bill would statutorily require the SEC to identify the problem a proposed regulation is seeking to address and conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis before issuing any regulation. I would urge my colleagues to join me in protecting the capital markets that millions of Americans rely on for financial security and prosperity. “I look forward to partnering with my colleagues on this Subcommittee to ensure U.S. equity markets remain the envy of the world and continue to work on behalf of market participants of all sizes, as well as our constituents trying to save for the American dream.”

They have PLENTY of regulations on the books…this is not the problem (although Gary being SEC at this point in time is no coincidence but the SEC has shown they are not really skilled at actuallyenforcingany those regulations on a consistent basis…but they can watch a lot of porn though'

It will not "begin" on that date

Warren Buffett's charitable giving tops $51 billion
Warren Buffett has donated another $4.64 billion of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N) stock to five charities, boosting his total giving since 2006 to more than $51 billion.
The annual donation made on Wednesday is the 92-year-old Buffett's largest, and consisted of about 13.7 million of Berkshire's Class B shares.
Buffett is donating 10.45 million shares to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has received more than $39 billion of Berkshire stock overall.He is also donating 1.05 million shares to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named for his late first wife, and 2.2 million shares split evenly among charities led by his children Howard, Susan and Peter: the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation and the NoVo Foundation.
Buffett is gradually giving away nearly all of the fortune he built at Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire, which he has run since 1965.
He and Bill Gates also pioneered the Giving Pledge, in which more than 240 people like Michael Bloomberg, Larry Ellison, Carl Icahn, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg committed at least half of their wealth to philanthropy.
Buffett has already donated more than half of his Berkshire stock. He still owned more than $112.5 billion, or about 15%, of Berkshire shares following Wednesday's donations.
"Nothing extraordinary has occurred at Berkshire: a very long runway, simple and generally sound decisions, the American tailwind and compounding effects produced my current wealth," Buffett said in a statement. "American tailwind" was coined by Buffett in 2019 to describe the United States' ability to build wealth over the long term, even through times of war and financial crisis.
Buffett built Berkshire into an approximately $740 billion company through businesses such as the BNSF railroad and Geico car insurance, and stocks such as Apple Inc (AAPL.O).
The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation works in reproductive health. The Howard G. Buffett Foundation focuses on alleviating hunger, mitigating conflicts and improving public safety. The Sherwood Foundation supports nonprofits in Nebraska, and the NoVo Foundation has initiatives focused on girls and women.
