Sen. Lieberman wants to regulate commodities trading

Michael Greenberger, a former CFTC official, comments on Lieberman's plan:

"Specultors can come in but they cannot dominate the market.... In the WTI (NYMEX + ICE) market it will be 80% speculators and 20% commercials, usually it is exactly the revers. The speculators are in control. Lieberman has a plan to not bar them but bring them within realism and keep this markets more to economic fundamentals."
