Jun 20, 2018 Securities and Exchange Commission To the and Exchange Commission, Why in the world should it be ok for someone who is charging me for offering advice on finances to tailor that advice so that he makes the most money regardless of the effect on my finances? What happened to the concept that the customer matters? If the adviser is not charging me for advice, then I need to beware of how well he is performing, but if I am paying for the service, that adviser owes a fiduciary duty to me, not to himself. I'm counting on you to make a stronger rule that closes the loophole. Americans who've worked hard to save for retirement deserve peace of mind about their financial security. Sincerely, Mr. Edward Birge
