From: Radioguts@aol.com Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 2:08 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: S7-23-03: To Whom it may concern: As a prolific inventor and holder of 9 U.S. Patents (so far), I am in favor of your new proposed Regulation SHO, because I can feel confident that I can take my inventions to market without falling victim to illegal short selling of my stock, sending me, and my company and our products in a downward death spiral as has happened to so many other good little OTC companies. With regulation SHO in place, I will have the incentive to get into the market with my consumer product lines. Without any effective regulations of illegal naked shorts, I will just continue working my day-job for the National Labs here in New Mexico. Thank you very much for your appreciation of my situation. Sincerely, Lars D. Roose Inventor
