Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Dear sirs,
     
I'm writing in support of proposed regulation FD. As a shareholder in several 
punlic companies, I think it is unfair that I as an owner am not given 
information material to my investments at the same time as the big-time 
analysts. My money may not be much in absolute terms, but it's important to me 
and I have a right to know information pertinent to my investments at the same 
time as every other investor.
     
yours sincerely,
--Anthony Ragan
