Date: 03/22/2000 1:10 PM Subject: Selective disclosure leads to illegal insider trading In my opinion, any disclosure of information to a limited class of investors is disclosure of inside trading; such investors should be absolutely prohibited from trading in the security involved until such information is made public. I believe that if the SEC took their rules about insider trading seriously, then any investment professional who used such limited disclosure to trade or to advise others to trade would be considered an inside trader and sanctioned.
