Gary Gensler: “The whole field has hurt more Americans than it should.”

The CFTC, I love, it is a great agency, but it was set up to do the derivatives.

I think that the Congress' wisdom was to have an agency to oversee disclosure-based markets where issuers are asking the public to buy and sell their securities.

I really do think it is such a privilege to serve and the important thing we do is we look out for 330 million Americans.

It seems it is like a chia pet. It looks like a good idea for a gift until you buy it.
