Date: 12/17/1999 8:55 AM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD I personally believe that the proposed regulation FD ("Fair Disclosure") will benefit the individual investor. It should also correct market conditions in situations where analysts "get it wrong" and companies stock prices plummet because an estimate was missed. Making the information, which analysts use in formulating their estimates, available to the general public should provide for a free market condition in which a stock price may rise more conservatively and subsequently drop less drastically as the result of a missed estimate.
