 Hello and thank you for hearing my voice as a household investor.

I am in favor of stricter rules on restricting conflicts of interest. No one should have an upper hand or inside info in a free and fair market.

It undermines freeness and fairness in the markets.

I often think of the example of a judge and jury in a judicial case. You're not going to let a judge preside over their grandson's case, and you're not going to let a relative sit on the jury of the defendant. It doesn't make sense and it's not fair.

Best,
James Lutes
