William Turnbull Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Please do not restrict or remove weighted ETF's. I use this weighted ETF (LABU) when market sentiment has become extremely negative. It is a good hedge to recover losses in my core holdings. I feel it is better than a stock option because there is no time limit and there is diversification in the ETF. All I need is patience with the weighted etf. Please do not take this tool away from me in managing my portfolio.

I have owned ProShares for many years. I added it to my retirement fund after it had been doing well in my mothers retirement fund where that holding was helpful for my mom's needs.
I find a ProShares holding (SSO) to still be good in my asset allocation.

There is no way that I have even considered any allocation in crypto funds, an area that does need research, appropriate oversight.

Investors like myself do not need the regulatory eye of FINRA to oversee and dictate what securities people can buy and sell. I oppose all restrictions on the rights and freedom to invest funds in any way people want, including leveraged and inverse funds.

FINRAs definition of complex products is broad, arbitrary, vague, and unworkable. It would be an unacceptable infringement on investors and an overreach of your powers. Notice #22-08 is highly unacceptable. There should be no such restrictions on anyone's right to public investments.
