Subject: SR-NASD-98-21 Date: 5/7/98 6:41 PM Dear Sirs, This email is a follow up to a prior one that I submitted adressing proposed rule SR-NASD-98-21. I think that the way the comment period was extended was a complete sham. The self regulating NASD discovered the public's discontent and advertised to the market makers that they needed something good to say about their proposal. It seems as though the market makers and the NASD are conspiring against the public investor yet again. (eg. the 1 Billion dollar judgement) Is this biased approach just? Have you looked at any other statistical studies? I do hope that you take the NASD behavior into account when judging on this rule. Sincerely, Andy Kershner 806 Newman Dr. Austin, TX 78703
