Subject: Proposed Rule S7-03-04


This rule seems long overdue. It certainly would, if enforced, avoid activities 
potentially adverse to the customer (IE investor). 
Personally I have an appreciable amount of my life savings in mutual funds and 
depend on them to supplement my income now that I am retired.
We should not have to worry about unethical practices reducing our return on these 
hard earned savings.
I wholeheartedly support adoption of this rule.
