Jun 20, 2018 Securities and Exchange Commission To the and Exchange Commission, The Securities and Exchange Commission was created to prevent crooks from abusing the free market for equities and other financial instruments. The current administration seems intent on pushing back those protections by gutting the CPFB and allowing charlatans who represent themselves as advisers to investors that they are acting in the investors best interests, when they are only acting in their own self interest. If they are allowed to do this then the motto of the country will be "Let the buyer beware". At which point I will advise all of my friends to only invest in government backed CD's and no equity instruments as they could be cheated by supposed advisers. If you cannot protect the public, why do we need an SEC? 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. pete Letourneau
