As of today, the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill becomes law of the land. But is the bill strong enough to prevent the next financial meltdown?

It has potential but makes few guarantees. Much of the promise lies in the creation of two new regulatory bodies, one focused on Wall Street and the other on Main Street. Together, the rise of these new financial regulators could remake the marketplace.
