Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

As a small investor may I offer a couple of comments in favor of full and open 
disclosure of  information by public companies as proposed in the new rules.
     
The disclosure would have a dampening effect of the wild "Vegas" like 
speculation which pervades the markets by instituting a more fact based decision
making atmosphere amongst all investors.
     
Might such a change in atmosphere also help defuse the hyper inflation in 
pricing of the so called .com issues which worry serious market interests and 
regulators?
     
Sincerely,
