Author: Russell Feirstein at Internet Date: 12/16/1999 5:32 PM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD As a regular user of "Best-Calls" to gain access to publicly traded companies' conference calls, I applaud the change in regulations for full disclosure for the individual investor to take part in the previously "behind-closed-doors' privileged information. The change in the rules, if done properly, would be a great benefit for those individual investors who are savvy enough to use the knowledge wisely and form their own investment decisions. With equal and timely access to the same news, the "small guy" will also have the chance to benefit from information releases and be able to take advantage of a situation at the same time as major institutional investors/analysts for brokerage firms.
