No one makes my financial or investment decisions but me. I particularly object to having to pass a test or get a broker's permission to invest my own money as I see fit. I might consent to take the advice of a broker or a government bureaucrat if either of them could demonstrate superb financial or investment acumen, but I consider that unlikely. You bureaucrats mess up with the money entrusted to you; do me the courtesy of succeeding or failing with my own funds.
