Comments About – SEC – Securities and Exchange Commission

That tests the limits of the SEC staff’s gullibility, believe me it does.

  • First of all, the SEC is slow.
  • It does not understand insurance.
    • It thinks it is dealing with a complicated mutual fund.
  • It has 600 lawyers and no actuaries.
  • I do not know whether that is good or bad, but it does not speed things up, that’s for sure. 
  • The people there speak a different language from the state insurance regulators we are used to.
