Subject: Indexed Annuities s7-14-08

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in favor of the rule allowing the SEC to regulate indexed annuity sales. As a financial advisor I have seen first hand the vulnerability of the public towards complex investment products with high commissions, a description that certainly includes indexed annuities. I hope you will not fall victim to pressure from the insurance industry. We have seen what happens over the last few months when powerful industries pressure regulators.

Thank you.
