From: "Bob Eggering" Subject: File No. s7-5-99 Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 15:06:14 -0800 Proposed rule changes requiring market makers to do significantly increased due diligence on potential investments will seriously restrict the number of market makers who will face the liability of helping companies like ourselves (NOVX on NQB Pink Sheets). We are struggling to raise funds to go national with our all natural weight loss product. Any constrictions on the already limited effective avenues to raise capital are not in the best interest of bona fide good business ventures or in the interest of investors who are seeking bona fide good investment opportunities. Regulation is best left in the hands of professional regulators. To discourage scam artists, make the punishment fit the crime.
