Date: 12/23/1999 12:11 PM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD I think this regulation would be very beneficial to the public. I am an individual investor with long-term goals, including retirement. Full Disclosure would level the playing field. Why should I have to pay a "broker" for information that should be disclosed to the general public? By investing this money instead of paying it as a fee, through the magical power of compound interest, I will be able to achieve my goals that much quicker, as will the public. Isn't that what's it's supposed to be about? Jeff Goldman 505 Canyon Wren Dr. Buda, TX 78610 512-295-5256
