Subject: "proposed regulationFD"

    I definitely agree that to much "insider knowledge" is used against
the average investor. The "good OLE boys" rape us poor sheep.
    I believe that some stiff regulation of day trading is necessary.
This is just a form of gambling that goes unreported to he IRS. In a 
casino if your winnings are over $600 a form has to be filled out and 
turned into the IRS. This is not the case in a winning bet on the stock 
market.
    The stock market should be for investors and not casino gamblers.
Thank you for the opportunity of listening to my comments
