Robert Green is shilling his tax services. Yes, there is a reason why the SEC has not made a public statement, because there is no statement to Make!!! Oh wait, it's a secret. Yes, our already intrusive government is going to start changing the laws on us without telling us, that way they can get us easier. Ha! I love it. Reardon Metal is actually starting to look rational now!

I don't understand. Why would the SEC do anything to help anyone? Why would they do anything constructive at all?
The sole function of government is to repeatedly fuck us over while calling it 'Liberty', hands in our pockets and boots on our throats. Would you expect the mafia to post a helpful notice, clarifying their shakedown terms to their victims?
The NASD on the other hand, is capable of improvement. Election of Sam Lek would be a good start.
I knew that you had this whole plan already devised, and that you have always been a "closet Bright Trader"....LOL.
"Mavco" - I like that!!

Don, are you behind this whole SEC thing to get Mavco off the ground. I smell a conspiracy here!
So to clarify, would the following be affected or not under the supposed changes?
- LLC operating as a a Reg T account holder with a firm, 4:1 BP max.
- LLC has partners that maintain a contribution in the partnership
- Partners are allocated a large percentage of profits (80-100%) generated by trading for the partnership and assume responsibility for losses incurred.
- Partners pay fees such as commissions associated with trading for the partnership.
And how is this whole situation different from the hedge fund world where the LP or LLC is effectively a group of active traders using leverage as people have mentioned?

The vast majority* of equity hedge funds do not exceed Reg T. The hedge fund is a pooled investment of OPM, not primarily consisting of contributions from the fund's traders.

Agreed, but you're missing the main point: now that Hedge Fund regulation is dead, they (The SEC) have NOTHING TO DO. So, to keep their bureaucratic jobs, they've had to come up with SOMETHING. As you can see, unbridled bureaucracy leads to more bureaucracy....and yes, sometimes with disasterous effects (via legislation).
