Broker Comment: THE CLIENT TALKED WITH THE FA ABOUT GETTING THE MONEY INVESTED INTO MUTUAL FUNDS OUT OF THE MARKET AND INTO MONEY MARKET AS HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE DECLINE OF THE VALUE OF THE FUNDS. THE CLIENT HAD INDICATED THAT HE EVENTUALLY PLANNED TO RETURN TO THE MARKET AND WOULD CONTACT THE FA WHEN THE TIME HAD COME. THE FA AND CLIENT HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITHIN THE FOLLOWING FEW WEEKS REGARDING HIS UNEASY FEELINGS ABOUT THE MARKET AND HIS DECISIONS TO GET OUT. THE FA OFFERED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO INVEST BACK INTO THE MARKET, HOWEVER, THE CLIENT DECLINED AND INSTRUCTED THE FA TO LEAVE THE FUNDS WHERE THEY WERE UNTIL HE DECIDED OTHERWISE. THE FA DID TELL THE CLIENT ABOUT THE WAITING PERIOD THAT APPLIED ONLY TO THE AMERICAN FUNDS. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT APPEAR AS THOUGH HIS DECISION TO GET OUT OF THE MARKET OR WHEN TO GET BACK IN THE MARKET WAS IMPACTED EITHER WAY BY THIS INFORMATION.
