Only a very few people can buy luxury yachts, do you want legislation against that too? That's a specious comparison. It's the lockout I have a problem with. A $1M or $5M limit? Why so high? No reason in the world they could not make money off of 100K or 50K accounts. I believe too many people jumping in the pool would render them unable to create volatility, which they use to their advantage and they know this. I also believe this is fundamentally wrong. In determining negligence, the courts have used a "reasonable man" standard. What would a reasonable man do in a given set of circumstances? Why not have something similar here? A "reasonable investor" standard, whereby you cannot create arbitrarily high minimums thereby locking people out? Brian
