I want to comment, but where can I actually read what this SEC rule says.
In general, I want, free of charge, mailed documents if I choose that route. Putting anything in email is akin to putting it into one of those coupon mailers, buried among all the useless coupons that we get from time to time. The “value-pack” kind of stuff. Because 90% of my email is junk mail and anything sent by email is prone to be ignored or trashed without even reading.
I don’t mind paying bills electronically, and in fact I do that most of the time. But a paper bill is still preferred so that it doesn’t go unnoticed, and so that there’s a document that shows the details of the charge or event.
If the SEC informs these seniors by mail of the upcoming changes, what is the problem?
Ten years ago, the average 78-year-old may not have been computer savvy, but that doesn’t hold these days.
