LOL! That is pretty funny. Projecting nefarious motivations on to
other people where they don't exist. Very well done.
Yes, any investment can be fully funded to reduce the effect of
leverage. How big of an account would one need to properly diversify
for a kid's college savings account? One soybean contract is $25K.
You said you were long various quantities from 1999. Something does
not quite add up.

Can can allocate the full cash value. For example, if a Soybean
contract is for 5,000 bushels and the priice is $5, the full
underlying value is $25,000.

leverage to zero. One does not have to buy a farm or elevator to
reduce leverage to invest in Soybeans. However it is probably true
that if one takes a long term view on the futures markets, the number
of transactions is likely to drastically drop. This will thereby
drastically reduce the income of the futures account rep. I can see
why you may be inclined to discourage this approach.
