At the same time, the general public remains very skeptical of the financial community and the economy overall. We can assume that there was a collective sigh yesterday from a public that has grown increasingly exasperated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We should expect more of this going forward, since the government and its regulators will need to demonstrate that they are on top of the financial business community.&#8221; Valentine\u00a0said, &#8220;In the end, it\u2019s the only way to restore credibility to the industry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alex Akesson<br \/>\nEditor for <a title=\"hedge funds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a> is a premier <a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">hedge fund database<\/a> and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
