I do not think basic soundness of our markets has been impaired by restrictions for the protection of customers and lessening of the speculative tinge. It may be-who can tell?-that there will be sharper short-term deviations-fluctuations that concern the speculator rather than the investor-but I think the danger of runaway markets and also of dangerously inflated markets has been greatly decreased.
