Heck Of A Job, FINRA!

By Kerry Pechter   Fri, Mar 27, 2009

Mary Schapiro spent the past ten years as president of FINRA or its predecessor, NASD. During that time, FINRA dithered while two stock market bubbles and the Enron crime vaporized the savings of millions of Americans.

When I started this rant, I thought I held a minority opinion. Then I read a chain of reader comments about Ms. Schapiro’s appointment on the Journal’s website. Her selection irks, insults and confuses many of us who hoped for a fresh start after years of regulatory dysfunction. It’s disappointing. Like that baby in the commercial, I feel like spitting up.
