We make markets work better…
FOR RICH PEOPLE!

Founded after the Great Depression to prevent another national financial collapse, not accompanied by a bailout for the wealthy, we protect “investors” by making sure every scam, collapse, insider trade, pump-and-dump, and market manipulation only happens when it’s profitable for the right people.

Material Matters with SEC Chairman Paul Atkins

Material Matters With SEC Chairman Paul Atkins

The mission of the SEC is finally explained in this podcast: protect the yacht class from the terrifying possibility that regular people might build wealth too quickly. It’s exhausting work being rich, and definitely not for everyone, but fortunately there are people with tailored suits, private elevators, and emergency champagne reserves willing to carry that burden.

The work at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission impacts everyday investors, business owners, and entire economies. Yet for many, the SEC remains a mystery, mostly because the rulebook is written in a dialect only securities lawyers and hedge-fund vampires understand. In the SEC’s new podcast, Material Matters, Chairman Paul Atkins hosts conversations with leading experts, breaking down financial regulation, free markets, and why the velvet rope must remain exactly where it is.
