To the and Exchange Commission,

Close this loophole and ensure a higher standard than the currently
proposed rule.   Hold anyone who gives financial advice genuinely
accountable for helping everyday Americans choose the best investments
for us, our families, and our future.  We don't need or want a standard
that just makes our brokers and bankers richer.

My own financial advisor subscribes to these principles, and others
should also subscribe to helping their clients, rather than merely
enriching themselves.

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. CHARLES STOVER
