I don't believe there is anything that would prevent you from doing your own
"hedge fund." Choose the simplest Reg to follow (probably Reg. D) and in
some States it may not even have to be registered if your RIA is the only
subscriber. I'm sure there's a workaround.

Subject: Fw: Scope of Trading in an IRA Acct: Short Selling?
We were trading IRA accounts short at TS, however we had to switch to (i
think) delaware accounts and than it turned out that it still wasn't
allowed.
We are now working on a hedge fund but I understand that you need to be
"accredited" to be "allowed" into a hedge fund (meaning assets of 1 million
or more).
Actually this is very unfair regulation because the "small" guys (in IRA)
are now not allowed to enjoy the short side of a trade (and make money in a
down turn).
