Subject: Proposed regulation FD

Full and open disclosure of information relevant to investors is 
essential to the operation of a free marketplace. The practice of 
filtering information through "analysts" who are free to selectively 
release the information to priviledged clients is equivalent to the use 
of inside information to profit from stock trading. All of us lose a 
little so that an undeserving few may gain much. Please put an end to 
this unfair practice.
