Quote from noob_trad3r:
Not in 2014, CFTC and SEC will now just be one entity "SEC" in order to eliminate positions and duplication of efforts due to budgetary issues. All this was on the CNBC broadcast. I wonder if its on youtube yet.
The SEC has tried to take over the CFTC numerous times over the years, and still would like to, but it never has gone through because the CFTC is under the jurisdiction of separate committees in Congress - Agricultural committees - that have separate lobby groups etc. and are extremely unlikely to give up jurisdiction.
