Subject: Selective Disclosure regulation

I agree wholeheartedly with the SEC when it says, "The Commission has 
become increasingly concerned about the growing incidence of 'selective 
disclosure' of material corporate information..."  As an individual 
investor who prefers not to use (and pay for) the services of an investment 
company, I am disturbed by the fact that these companies may get access to 
important financial information before I can.  From my point of view, this 
'selective disclosure' is no different than insider trading -- the 
investment companies with access to the information can make trades or 
advise clients to make trades which could adversely affect my portfolio, 
and I cannot react until later when I receive the same information.  Please 
think of us 'little guys', and don't be swayed by the arguments of the big 
firms.  Please pass selective disclosure regulation that makes it a level 
playing field for all in the financial markets.
