Subject: Rule 10A-1 Author: "Jerry's RR Acct." at Internet Date: 10/26/99 12:48 PM I am an active investor that currently can't compete with the market makers and licensed brokers due to this rule. Having to try to get an "up-tick" when I see a stock headed down is almost impossible to do in a hot stock. Many times I am trying to cover my long position by shorting a stock, and can't do to this rule. Please eliminate it! Thank you. Jerry Pritchard
