Citadel wants this SEC to make it WAY MORE difficult for future SECs to propose new rules, by imposing an impossible standard for analysis on any interrelated rules.

Citadel explicitly calls out IEX in this "white paper" urging the SEC to take away their protected quote status. IEX must be doing something right...

Also Citadel thinks the CAT should go away - "re-consider the entire project" and it "should be authorized by Congress." Good luck with that... how much did Ken donate to Congress last cycle?

Russell 2000 is now down over 20% from its peak. Nasdaq is down 16.5%. S&P down 12.7%. Hard to see a reason why you want to buy the dip here.

Even more interesting is how this massive tax hike will result in inflation. It will both shrink GDP and increase prices - which is a pretty tough combo to pull off. This can ultimately result in stagflation. Once stagflation starts, monetary policy will struggle.

Atkins confirmation hearing starting now. Interesting excerpt from his written testimony. It's mostly focused on digital assets, which will likely be the theme of his tenure at the SEC.

Just so we're all clear, threatening policies that will raise prices tends to become self fulfilling. Inflation expectations are rising, and inflation usually follows. Next Fed move could be a hike, not a cut.
