 Dear SEC,

Dear Sirs:
     
When  (in years of bull markets) I wearied of no significant growth  of 
my portfolio from the professionals at two different leading brokerage 
houses,  I spent the time and effort to learn how to handle my own 
investments safely and rewardingly.
     
Each time I and other family members volunteered to fight  this 
country's wars we were said to be defending this land of equal 
opportunity.  Give us the equal opportunity to investment information.
     
Who knows.... perhaps it may cause some of these analysts to produce a 
more honest/complete analysis.
     
Sincerely,
Herschel Keene, Retired
Spring, Texas

I am opposed to the continuation of exclusivity with respect to communications 
between publicly held companies and private securities analysts.  After all, 
what else do you stand for if it is not to require that disclosure be open and 
fair.  How can it be fair if I (and millions of others) can only hear it after 
it filters down through a select few). Todays markets move too rapidly to allow 
information to be restricted in the manner that has come to represent the norm. 
Please change the rules of disclosure to open it up to all.

The new fair disclosure rules represent fairness in investing and should not 
be undone.  The public has the right to know.
