I cannot state how much I am opposed to excessive regulations taking away my freedom to invest as I so chose. I utilize put options on these types of leveraged funds such as UPRO and TQQQ to acquire shares tied to the S&P and Nasdaq at a very advantageous price and then sell covered calls against the shares once obtained. I can make upwards of 5% on my money each month with
