Typical impotent arrogant governmental BS.


If and when they do shoot themselves in the foot with this dumbass legislation more and more funds will simply re-organize offshore.

everytime the US markets get hammered, some johnny-on-the-spot SEC genius goes gunning for hedge funds

the public is always looking for someone to blame for their own investment failures...
