One issue is even if there are no abuses the industry cannot handle having a best interest standard applied to these recommendations. Thats what the dol is doing. Its almost the standard that is applied to broker dealers under the suitability standard. The recommendation must be consistent and you look under the hood and it turns out these are some of the worst violations that you can find. In one case the court said this was egregious misconduct. These are cases if many if not most broker deals. The unsuitable recommendations are accompanied by other Violations Including failure to supervise, churning, misrepresentations or omissions and unauthorized trading. The suitability standard works. Lets not make believe that its actually serving clients best interest. Youve said the current rules support a race to the bottom. Why do you think they support a race to the bottom currently . I think hearing the panelist discuss all the legalese involved here its a well documented fact that its ve
For over three decades, drilling into mountain glaciers ice that has remained frozen for thousands of years. The ice cores they retrieve contain a perfectly preserved record of the earths past climate. Looking toward the future, chris field has crted a time machine in a Northern California grassland. The jasper ridge Global Change experiment is subjecting an entire ecosystem to the predicted climate conditions possible 50 to 75 years in the future. Both Research Programs one looking into the past and the other toward the future will ultimately provide us with better ways to predict and cope with earths changing climate.

This is the cover of the book, called posterity, your watching book tv. Up next why the international communitys opinion of israel has gone down since the 1967 war. He says that oil and geopolitics were to blame early on, but now World Opinion is mostly shaped by leftist intellectuals and activists who side with the palestinians. This is about our. Thank you, john. In recent days israel has been attacked and co
It is not yet available today, mr. Chairman, we do have industry and government involvement on developing those standards. Because we have to develop a standard in order to implement that technology into the network. Well, if you could have heard all of the hearings that we have had, and just to complicate matters, a lot of them dont originate in this country. They are from a foreign country, and that means youve got to work with another government in order to get them to cooperate to go after the guys. So that makes it doubly difficult and longer and longer and, therefore, the development of technology that will help someone identify a number of them who gets spoofed, that would be extremely helpful in the protection of senior citizens, indeed, protection of customers. Because of the vote that is now occurring, i want to say that i want to bring to the table retailers who offer the services to send money, such as western union, moneygram, and the various cards.
