I support the rule and think that we should ban PFOF as in the UK due to its obvious conflict of interests. Why should these companies get money for routing orders? There are so many issues I could bring up (FTD’s, naked short selling, cellar boxing, dark pool lack of transparency, etc) but I will refrain from writing that novel. I’m a retail investor and not a finance geek, but these issues are creeping into even my world. I’m also a boomer and a professional.

Thanks,
