Subject: mutual fund rule changes (s7-03-04)

I believe that in addition to the proposed rule changes, provisions should be 
made for the recovery of losses suffered as the result of a broker pushing 
certain funds for his personal gain. If this practice causes harm to the 
investor, should"nt he/she have the opportunity to at least recover any losses 
that could have been avoided had the broker not touted a known inferior product?
Just my thoughts, but I have heard this mentioned many times by other  investors.
Thank you for your consideration of the opinions of people like myself who are 
retired and have limited funds for investment. It seems that we are the frequent 
target of the hustlers who have infested some of these companies.  
While I have been fortunate to have my very modest investments with an ethical 
company, I know of other seniors who have been steered into investments that are 
completely wrong for their situation. Jerald H Meissner
