March 21, 2023 Dear Sir orMadam, I am writing to express my support for the SEC's proposed rule, File No. S7-29-22 Release No. 34-96493 Disclosure of Order Execution Information, which aims to improve the transparency of the order execution process and provide investors with better information about the quality of their trade executions. As an individual investor, I believe that best execution is critical to ensuring that my trades are executed fairly and efficiently. However, the complexities involved in choosing how to execute a trade can be daunting, particularly for individual investors who may not have access to the same information and resources as institutional investors. The proposed rule seeks to address these challenges by requiring broker-dealers to disclose more information about their order execution practices, including the quality of the executions they provide to their clients. This will enable investors to make more informed decisions about where to place their trades and to ensure that they are getting the best possible execution. Furthermore, the proposed rule will help level the playing field for individual investors by requiring broker-dealers to disclose information about their order routing practices and the conflicts of interest that may arise from those practices. This will enable investors to better understand the incentives that may be driving their broker-dealer's order routing decisions and to make more informed decisions about where to place their trades. In conclusion, I support the SEC's proposed rule, File No. S7-29-22 Release No. 34-96493 Disclosure of Order Execution Information, and I believe that it will help promote transparency, enhance investor protection, and ensure that individual investors like myself are able to achieve best execution on our trades. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Max B
