FYI: Last night Josh had the pleasure of attending a talk put on by Andrew Ross Sorkin and the New York Times in their auditorium on 41st Street. Andrew’s special guest was Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton and the conversation was about blockchain technology, crypto currencies, distributed ledgers, initial coin offerings and a lot more.
Josh want to say a couple of things about what he saw and heard at the event…
We are in good hands with both of our Jays. As regular readers know, I’m not a Trump fan. However, between his Fed Chairman pick, Jay Powell, and his choice for SEC Chairman, Jay Clayton, I feel that the investor class and market participants in general are in good hands. Jay Clayton is an accomplished securities and corporate attorney and genuinely has an affection for our capital markets and an appreciation for the rules he’s been sworn to uphold.
Regards,
Ted
