Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

     I wholeheartedly agree with Proposed Regulation FD, and I cannot
believe that this is not the law now (not rules).  I also want to say that 
I am not against forward-looking information as long as everyone has access 
to it (like a press release, SEC filing, or on a conference call).  There 
have been many times I have seen a stock suddenly go down 10, 15, or 20 
percent, and I wonder what is wrong here (why is the stock down on no 
news)?  Then, after 4 p.m. or before 9 a.m. the next day or whenever, a 
news agency release about some analyst or a press release appears that the 
company will miss revenue and/or earnings targets.  Gee, how lucky for 
"some people".  I want Proposed Regulation FD to target these lucky "some 
people".  However, I want Proposed Regulation FD to target communication of 
missed revenue and/or earnings targets, not that the company missed revenue
and/or earnings targets (though this should not be completely dismissed).       
     
     
     
     Lastly, try to depend more on press releases and SEC filings than on
conference calls because the press releases and SEC filings are text based, 
easily searched, and do not depend on reliable internet connections.
