Requiring disclosure and oversight will do no harm, it will only strenghten everyone's belief that trading was done honestly. It will also serve to prevent and detect the manipulation of trading. With trading manipulation as a possible cause for rising commodity prices eliminated, economists can establish with greater certainty the true cause and better solutions to address the cause can be developed.

I just read about Enron and the blackouts in California!!! Apparantly I simply did not learn everything I could in High School. Strong regulation to prevent this from happening should definitely not be ignored.

What kind of politician would change a regulation that would put the American people in harms way, the U.S. economy to be effected, and create a regulation that includes the CFTC not having any oversight in the matter - that is Phil Gramm (R), Texas. Mr. Gramm now works for UBS and as a Senator, also lobbied Congress to relax regulations put in place in 1933 that regulated banks so we wouldn't have another Depression, so goes the mortgage crisis. I now realize the Republicans are only concerned about corporate profits-to think otherwise one must be naive.
