I support this proposal to keep client funds separated from broker funds. As a retail investor, I do not want my funds to be associated with any harmful or unwise bets by broker dealers. I do not want to be exposed to their losses, or to have my funds used to cover their losses. I have my portfolio, and I am responsible for that. They are responsible for their own decisions, and my funds are not allowed to cover for their bad bets. Too much of that has been going on, and it’s time they learn to function fairly and according to the law. Thank you.
