Dodd-Frank Does Little To Help Investors Analyze Big Bank Results: Bloomberg

The Dodd-Frank Act, designed to prevent future financial crises, does little to improve investors' ability to analyze results at the five biggest U.S. firms that trade securities, which together lost $38.6 billion as markets froze in the fourth quarter of 2008.
