Please give us, as sophisticated but small investors, the same vehicles to risk protection as the "rich folks". As a small business owner for 25 years, I feel capable of finding and using the talent I might not have to make wise decisions. I don't get a guaranteed pension. My retirement is based on what I can do myself and I should not be handicapped by excessive government regulation.

Thanks.
