It is my firm belief that we need a level playing field. If there is going to 
be a conference call with data announced that could influence a stock, all of 
us, should have equal access to this information, especially if the 
information is negative. The brokerage houses or the insiders have an 
advantage to sell before I would. I could and probably would end up selling 
at a lower price by not having access to the same info. I do not see the 
problem of letting all traders in on the conference call, the technology 
should be there so we could call-in and listen only.
     
I thank you, for allowing us to share our opinions and taking the time to 
read them. It must be a monumental task...... Thank You !!!!!!!!!!      
     
     
                  Sincerely,
