Hedge Funds

It's about time that some one truly believes that these fake hedge funds s/b regulated. These rules are abit harsh, but some regulation is required.

Too many small investors are being lured with the promise of big returns and the reality is big fees , breakeven or loss.

Hedge funds are fine for the savy invester with bets to win or to lose. Hedge funds should not be available to those with less than $2 million in liquid funds. They cannot afford the risk that these marginal operators offer (the people with $10 million plus get the good ones!)

Good Luck to the senator.
