Dear SEC Staff,
 
The current rules requiring independence between Stock Analysts and Banking 
Business of the same Brokerage firm will NEVER work.  
 
Self regulation never works anywhere in the world no matter how beautiful it 
is made sound to public because of the greed in the human nature.  Self 
regulation is like a Communist Government: the more said for the public 
(people), the more corrupt it is.
 
A truly independent stock analysis has to come from two business of different 
interests.
 
Just my 2 cents.
 
Sincerely,
 
-Robert
