From: Piippode@aol.com Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 11:59 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: New confirmation and point of sale disclosure requirements I recently opened an IRA account with a broker who was recommended and afforded office space by my credit union. I followed his recommendations and bought shares of a mutual fund. I am interested to know what his interest was in recommending this particular fund and if he was paid a commission, how much was it.
