I feel that selectively disclosing important information to Wall Street analysts, but not the general public, is in fact legalizing insider trading. This is a great benefit to the company, and the analysts, but sets up the general public to be manipulated for the profit of a privileged few. Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion. Sincerely, Tim Shaw tddshaw@juno.com
