To the and Exchange Commission,

Why would you even think about leaving this loophole intact?  It leads
to bad press for all the decent advisors out there for a start, and
breeds contempt for the whole industry as a whole once news of any
abuse hits the headlines.  Which in the day of the 24hr news cycle is a
given.

Let alone the fact that it should be in your puview to protect the
vulnerable from the sharks in the industry you oversee.

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. Mark Hall
