Subject: Proposed Regulation FD: File No. S7-31-99

What is the delay in making this rule a law?? Is it to protect the vested 
interests of the financial analysts?
     
My opinion is that, this rule should have been the law 20 yrs ago. I am 
surprised that it isn't. Individual investors like myself have propelled 
this stock market to its historic highs, and I do not believe I am any less 
smarter than the "analysts".
     
I say, aye to this regulation.
