Smells Like Teen Spirit, Again!
With all the chaos at the SEC, it's enough to make one nostalgic for calmer times at the watchdog agency. Arthur Levitt, the longest-serving SEC chairman, has long felt that Wall Street does not do enough to inform investors and often purposely deceives them. We'll also travel out west to explore the return of ealy '90s Seattle-style grunge and hear more about what one group of social workers is descriing as "post-traumatic slavery disorder."
