Subject: Comments on Proposed Regulation FD

I strongly support the proposed SEC ruling to combat selective 
disclosure of material corporate information in favor of public 
disclosure. Publicly traded companies should be required to give (all 
of) their shareholders the same information they currently provide to a 
select group of individuals and organizations. The only argument in 
favor of selective disclosure is that it allows some Wall Street 
denizens to make a lot of money simply by being the conduits of 
information that could readily be given to everyone.
