More Investment Vehicles Reveal Holdings

It appears that more and more investment vehicles are revealing their holdings in SEC filings.

I am not sure if this is because their asset bases have grown to such a point where it is now required, or the rules for hedge funds are about to become more stringent, so funds are trying to stay ahead of the curve. I was caught off guard when the very successful Raffles Associates filed a Form 13F-HR.

The SEC vowed to watch these beasts more closely. The hedge funds are more illegitimate than the subprime mortgage lenders. You think the mortgage market's tip of the iceberg is chilly? Watch out when whatever instigator occurs that initiates the unwinding of the hedge funds. Whoahbaby, the super-rich believers in getting in something for nothing will scream bloody mary. In fact, I can hear it now. "Oh my god I trusted in the system that carried me my whole life and now I got screwed. The US Dollar no longer can float me. I lost my birth-endowed circumstance of benefit. Now what? Stop killing people for luxurious living via the US Dollar? I just don't know what to do. I know. I'll pray and ask Jesus to be there for me."
