Subject: Leveling the Planning Field for Disclosure of Information

With all the regulation going on, this area obviously needs to be fine 
tuned. Let everyone have the same information simultaneously on the internet 
& you will remove any temptation by insiders to withhold important data for 
possible personal portfolio gains. Seems fair enough to me, that way we all 
have the same risk on the up & down side of market fluctuation. Let's not 
punish the small investors who can't possible react quickly enough before 
the stock gains or slides, when insiders know exactly what is going to 
happen & hold important data from their shareholders. Seems like it should 
be a corporate trust/fiduciary issue to me: whose interest are they serving 
first: the corporate officers/board members or the shareholders who own the 
company? Thanks for listening.
