Subject: proposed regulation FD

I write in support of the current form of Proposed Regulation FD, or 
even a stronger one.  It is true that the selective dispersal of 
information is a terrible problem.  I write as an individual investor. 
I know firsthand how stocks can move by Wall Street ahead of big news 
while the public is at the mercy of the press.  This is a terribly 
unfair problem.  The securities laws are intended foremost to 
reasonably maximize transparency.  The lack of regulations such as FD 
at the moment is a glaring omission.
