2007 Democratic Congress plans to closely look at the hedge funds oversight process and how they are regulated. Contrary to common belief that it will dampen the hedge fund returns, it may just act the opposite way. The hedge funds oversight and control can actually increase the returns.

The biggest problem of the hedge funds is their sticking to their own financial investment models. The managers are human and they tend to be carried as billions are made and lost. Overall, controlled environment always get rid of psychological mistakes or excesses in market operators. That is healthy according to some experts.

The stocks may get hurt a little initially. The bonds will gain because of better fiscal management. The wild card lies with the commodities. The commodity boom can correct big time if hedge funds are asked to operate in a more transparent environment.
