Subject: s7-3-99 Date: 04/26/2000 2:09 PM Dear Sirs: The Nobel committee granted Gary Bauer a Nobel prize for how "asymmetry of information" distorts markets, and degrades their efficiency. Why create a group of investors that takes advantage of another group? It only allows for one privileged group to take advantage of an unprivileged group. That is diametrically opposed to free and open markets and the spirit of capitalism and democracy. Sincerely Joe Dirnfeld
