To the and Exchange Commission,

My ex-wife's mother was swindled out of around $200,000 due to bad
investment advice by a young Edward Jones investment advisor some years
back. She was in her late 70s or early 80s and her money was invested
in.com investments that tanked and, no doubt, provided a nice
commission for the adviser.  At her age, that advisor was ignoring his
fiduciary responsibility in how he invested an older person's money.
This has to stop!

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. David Morris
