The big deal is about LLC's.... this has been stated a few times now. $2,000 a year isn't going to make a break anyone, but $25k a year in fees that didn't exist yesterday starts to leave a mark.

The most recent news I've heard is that the CME is not going to reconsider the new definition for professional status, which as it is stated today will include LLC's. This is bad news for me... :(
