Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Dear Mr. Levitt,
     
As an individual's personal/family portfolio continues to grow at a 
tremendous rate, many of us find that we are managing the worth of a small 
company.  I enjoy the analysis and control over where my money is invested. 
However, severe stock value fluctuations without any news release or late 
SEC regulatory disclosure has been unacceptable.  I feel it is increasingly 
important that all public companies disclose information in a timely manner 
without favortism to institutional investors or power brokers.  The 
favortism must stop and force the analysts & brokers to rely on their 
research (to earn their commissions) versus taking advantage of the 
pre-public disclosures that have apparently been taking place.  
     
I have read the summaries of the proposed SEC regulations and feel that they 
are going in the right direction.  Please expedite the approval of these 
changes.
     
Dan Ellsworth
