Dear Mr. Baron:

I just want to compliment you, as a retired portfolio manager of several SEC funds, for listing the COST basis for your assets
in your fine funds. We all know this data is easily available and should be shown. We had this data when I worked at Marine Midland Bank (HSBC) in 1969. Watch some manager say data is not available. They barely had computers in 1969.

I wish the SEC would have everyone do this.

Best,
