Jeff Wiemold Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I, not regulators, should be able to choose public investments that are right for me. Why is it that investors such as Bill Hwang have access to unlimited amounts of leveraged derivatives through banks? How exactly is that fair to individual investors? This proposal will deprive individual investors of access to tooling that fund managers such as Hwang have access to and used to make substantial returns for themselves and their limited partners.

Ive invested in ProShares leveraged ETFs, particularly SSO, for so many years. These ETFs have provided a lot of flexibilities to me, and in a lot of cases, they helped reduce my investment risk as it freed up my capital and thus lowered my liquidity risk. I wouldnt simply categorize these ETFs as risky investments only because its leveraged, and thus I oppose the proposed investment limitation

I've been investing my own money in the stock market since I was 10 years old. Please don't limit what I can invest in. I currently use leveraged and inverse funds, trade options, etc. People who invest in these are already given warnings and pointed to material to read and learn more. We don't need additional regulation. I'm quite capable of investing my money how I think best. Thanks

Comments: Dear FINRA, I have been investing in stocks and options for over 30 years and have used leveraged or inverse products for the last 20 years. The proposed regulations and or guardrails for what you call complex products would undoubtedly disrupt the existence of these products and future development of these products. L&I ETF's have given me the opportunity to hedge out portions of my long term holdings for short periods of time. I have also used them to capitalize on short term market dislocations or express specific sector exposures.
