Gary Gensler

access to markets as they are moving up and down is a really critical piece of our capital markets.

I think that it is important that investors actually have brokers take their best interests to heart, and that is what we are going to do through examination and enforcement guidance, ensure that that rule is fully complied with as written.

I am committed to using notice and comment for new rules, but we still have to enforce the old guidance and old rules as vigorously as you would want us to.

the SEC has said consistently to issuers, as I understand it, that it would be best not to put this into these corporate charters.

I will work with the Office of Human Resources and the SEC staff to ensure that the agency is able to recruit and retain the workforce needed.

It is following the facts and the law where the facts and the law take you...

My own experience is diversity is a very positive part of decision-making and it enhances that decision-making.

If confirmed, I will uphold the enforcement mission of the SEC as set forth by Congress.

To the extent that someone is offering a crypto token which is an investment contract or security that's under the SEC's remit, the SEC has a responsibility to ensure investors are adequately protected.

I will work with my fellow commissioners... to ensure our markets remain the world's best.

If confirmed, I will work with fellow commissioners and SEC staff to complete all rulemakings directed by Congress.

If confirmed as SEC chair, I will work with my fellow commissioners, the SEC's exceptional staff, and the members of Congress to ensure our markets remain the world's best.

I would agree that it is always important, not just on real estate but also on other mandates from Congress, to follow congressional will.

I do believe in cost benefit analysis in dealing with any future regulation, or doing away with a regulation.

I would want to work with the staff and the economists and fellow commissioners to understand those rules better.

I think that particularly material--materiality is a point here--but no, they should not be able to hide their risks.

I think, as I teach at MIT on these subjects, that these innovations have been a catalyst for change.

I believe our markets are the finest in the world.

When we take our eyes off the ball, things can go very wrong.

I think materiality, as the Supreme Court has said, it has got to be significant to the mix of information to a reasonable investor.

I think technology has provided greater access, but it also raises interesting questions, and the one that you mentioned about 'gamification' also raises interesting questions about what does it mean when balloons and confetti are…

I would work with fellow commissioners to both promote the new innovation but also, at the core, ensure core investor protection.

When the SEC does its job, our economy grows and our nation prospers.

I think there is a real benefit to the American public five eyes, five minds, five different opinions.

At the core it is about protecting investors. That is the core of the mission of the agency.
