Securities and Exchange Commission

To the and Exchange Commission,

Protect us from banks and other financial institutions who are just
trying to make money off of us. Banks like Wells Fargo and others need
regulations. These salesmen and brokers need to look out for my
investments, not theirs. We need a very strong fiduciary rule. In 2007
my mother was 79 years old and was sold an annuity with an 8 year
surrender charge. Ridiculous. The only way I could get her out of this
was to say she did not know what she was doing and to take guardianship
for her. She died a year later. What a rip off.

Sincerely,

Ms. Laurel Landes
