Subject: Support Prop. Reg FD

As an individual investor since 1968, I support opening the information gap 
between companies and the public. I  hold shares of ANF, and watched it fall in 
wonderment.  I couldn't get any information on why, and wasn't happy to find 
that whispers to another was helping people leave a stock I still own.  I could 
go on with further examples this year on other stocks I have owned or currently 
own that have behaved in this fashion, every time to my disadvantage. I would 
like a level playing field where I have the chance to keep or sell based on 
information available to all.  As a counter example, I own TYC, and even though 
have taken a good sized loss based on rumours, I don't feel disadvantaged are 
taken to the cleaners as I was on ANF.  The information that has brought the 
stock down was available out there months before the market reacted. I knew the 
rumours of overextension and possible fudged balance sheet figures, and still 
bought.  In the case of ANF, I bought on what I thought was a momentary dip (I 
had a buy order on record for 3 weeks before it was executed). I would not have 
bought if the information had been made public (the disclosure cam a week to 10 
days later).
     
Therefore, I support Proposed Regulation FD,  To end the special relationship 
between companies and analysts and brokers.
     
Sincerely,
Michal G. C. Suchyta
