Jun 28, 2018 Securities and Exchange Commission To the and Exchange Commission, Same as many others, I have recently retired from a 39-year career. I care deeply that I am able to live the balance of my life without worry that a shady financial advisor will take advantage of me by giving bad advice. I am counting on the money that I have earned and saved over the years to see me through. It is only fair that a financial adviser should put my interests first. I totally understand that she/he should make some money from helping me -- same as any other service. But to enrich themselves at my expense is criminal. The loopholes in the current law make it easy for many advisers to take advantage of hard-working Americans like me and line their own pockets. Seniors like me deserve protection. Please 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 the advisors richer. I am counting on you to make a stronger rule that closes the loophole. I have worked hard to save for my retirement deserve peace of mind about my financial security. Sincerely, Milli Burton
