As a household investor, I support this rule, which serves to close loopholes that should never have been open. I would also request that somebody take a good look at what parties are against this and other loophole-closing rules. Comments from parties that have the potential to take advantage of such loopholes should not be taken into serious consideration, except as the implicatory evidence they are. After all, any large, profit-seeking party that is not abusing these loopholes would voice the loudest support, for it would curtail any competitors that do abuse technicalities. 

Gary Gensler's efforts for household investors such as myself are appreciated. It is important that the SEC is headed by a person that is out to protect household investors. 


Thank you
