I thought your mandate was and is to protect the investor and maintain the integrity of our markets. By allowing those that are charged with managing the funds and livelihood of our citizens to take advantage of that position in order to line their own pockets is beyond reason. In addition it violates all legal fiduciary responsibility. If the commission removes any part of the Trade through rule the result will be the destruction of the US markets and their global presence This is a clear example in all respects of the old saying (haste makes waste) Frank Christensen Ph 480 922 9195 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get rid of annoying pop-up ads with the new MSN Toolbar - FREE!
