Subject: I am for Proposed Regulation FD

I trade online and would really like to see the playing field leveled. 
Individual investors now have the ability to trade after hours, a big step 
in the right direction.  There are times, when the ability to act on 
information released after the markets have closed is important.  Fair 
disclosure of information is even more important.  The current system 
amounts to little more than legalized insider trading and it is about time 
that something is done about it.
