Subject: SEC requiring public disclosure of stock related issues

This should be a requirement, due to the fact that it is wholly unfair for 
market managers to have information prior to the rest of the public. This 
amounts to nearly the same thing as insider trading, allowing a few people 
to control the stock pricing and profits at the expense of the majority. 
This is clearly inappropriate, all disclosures whether financial, product 
oriented, restructuring, etc, should be made to the general public at all 
times, not just to the select few that are considered "special". The only 
people who should know any of that information is clients whose businesses 
are directly affected, and employees of the organization. Any other 
announcements must be made to the general public. These are my opinions, 
thank you for your time.
