Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
     
Gentlemen:
        Brokerage houses use selected disclosure to increase their profits. 
Their
analysts do not have to do intensive investigation to determine their 
recommendations.  The big money houses can manipulate stock prices for their 
clients.  The stock market must maintain a level field.  As an individual 
investor, I can find the time and investigative tools to prosper in the 
market.  I work full time outside of the stock market.  My extra time to 
investigate is very minimal. I am able, however, to maintain returns much 
higher than the "professional" stock analysts who are paid by their company 
to do nothing butt analyze.  It's not ethical to divulge information to only 
a select group.  It is, in my opinion, exactly the same as insider trading 
but on a much larger scale.
     
        I urge you to adopt the proposed regulation FD immediately and provide
extremely high fines, not only for the companies who disclose, but also the 
brokerages who receive the "insider" information.  Not to do so will give 
the appearance of collusion and corruption.  The SEC is to protect all, not 
just select large brokers.
     
Respectfully submitted.
Ron Eisenberg
