Subject: A comment on the information disclosure regulation...
 
-----------------------------------------------------
 
Based on the articule "SEC Levels Playing Field (Fool on the Hill)" and other 
comments
related to debate on the new rules over companies information disclosure, I ask 
myself,
if companies information -about its financial performance or any positioning or 
strategy 
plan in the market place, are to be available to all investors or general public 
at once, 
wouldn't this new regulation encourage the practice of "inside trading", as the 
information 
will become more valuable to those who adquire or sell them first, before the 
rest of investors
be aware of it? 
 
If my comments make some sense, I will appreciate to receive an answer.  If 
otherwise, if my
concern do not apply to the upcomming disclosure rules or do not represent any 
risk, please
disregard my intervention. 
 
Cordially,
