I can make my own financial decisions and dont need government intrusion

Thanks to all of you wonderful regulators stocks are extremely overvalued. So instead of putting 100% of my portfolio in stocks I put 20% in leveraged S&P 500 fund like UPRO and it performs the same as having 100% of my portfolio in stocks.

We reserve the right to invest how we so see fit
