About this blog

This is my personal blog which I began in February 2001. I called it The Obvious? when I wrote anonymously and chose the name to reflect the fact I have to overcome my inhibitions about stating the obvious!

FINRA has set up a task force comprised of industry representatives "to explore how regulation can embrace technology advancements in ways that can improve the flow of information between firms and their customers without compromising investor protection."

I am afraid the levels of spam comments have become sufficiently high (yes you know who you are) for me to have to turn on moderation. I try to process comments as fast as I can but I know it is frustrating so - sorry!
