The funny thing is that I think the Street likes limited regulation. It adds an element of protection and predictability to the investment process.
It's the corporations and their lobby ranks that want less as it makes it easier to game the system.
The result is going to be headline news for the time to some. I'm for limited regulation personally, we can argue what "limited" really means.

I agree the two camps are in a real bind with this one.
