I strongly support the Selective Disclosure and Insider Trading Rule. 
There have been at least a couple of stocks that I owned where material 
information was being released by the company to selected clients who 
were not me. Had I been aware of such information, I very well might 
have made different decisions about the ownership of that stock.
