Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

It is not fair that public companies disclose 
information to brokers and analysts selectively.
     
What happens is that non-public information 
to institutions, brokerage firms and selected
individuals allow them to maximize their gains 
or minimize their losses. Their trading changes 
the stock price immediately and by the time the 
information becomes public, it is often too 
late for me to make a good profit or to prevent 
a bad loss.
     
Thank you for your attention.
