From: Christine Zarycky [christineesq@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 2:35 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: File No. S7-11-04 Do not punish investors for using ANY METHODS to manage risk in their portfolios. Crooks in the mutual fund companies engaged in excessive trading in direct contravention to terms of the prospectus, and now investors will have to pay huge fees in order to protect their portfolios? Punish the mutual fund companies and NOT INVESTORS. Provide harsh and strict penalties to be levied against the mutual funds and NOT the INVESTOR. Todays markets are fraught with risk and there are so much fraudulent activities that go unnoticed and unpunished. The few frauds that are uncovered go relatively unpunished. STOP making investors pay for the fraud committed by the few. Christine Zarycky 1994 Sheffield Road Birmingham, MI 48009 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
