Restricting So-Called Speculation Is a Fool's Game

Running up Exxon's stock 10X isn't going to destroy or collapse the world's economy.
Running up commodities such as food and energy will. People will start to riot and the poorest will start dying.

Commodities traders aren't going to run overseas to trade in unsafe markets. Up until the investment banks screwed the rest of the world with their CDOs, the U.S. had the world's most trusted markets. The U.S. must re-establish integrity in their markets by stopping the corruption and manipulation - eliminate those investment banks which are causing all the problems.
