Subject: support of indexed annuity rule s7-14-08

I am a Certified Financial Planner and member of the FPA, and am writing in my SUPPORT of the indexed annuity rule. These annuities are most often sold to elderly clients and the advertising used is often very misleading.

Abusive sales practices give our industry a bad reputation.
