To the and Exchange Commission,

It should be clear and unambiguous that the financial advisor is or is
not a fiduciary, and they should have to make clear to any client their
status, what that means, and how they make their money.  Between
devious advisors, reverse mortgages and  Congress trying to cut SNAP,
you have to believe the government is either blind or a
co-conspirator.

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. Gary Elliott
