Date: 12/19/1999 4:31 PM Subject: Agree with Levitt The system as it now exists is terribly unfair to the average investor who isn't privy to what amounts to insider information given to the analysts, who then act on it on behalf of their clients before making their opinions known. SEC Chairman Levitt appears to agree, the current system is not only bad for individual investors, but it is bad for the markets as a whole. The system is an anachronism, and should be modified in whatever manner guarantees the opportunity for simultaneous access. Respectfully, P.W. Kokesh
