Subject: Selective Disclosure
------------------------------- Message Contents 
I am writing this in support of new regulations that would prohibit the current 
practice of selective disclosure. This practice is nothing more than a type of 
"insider" trading. Companies disclose private information to a select group of 
"insiders" (analysts, institutional investors, brokerages, and/or large 
shareholders) who may then trade in that company's stock based on the "inside" 
information provided to them.  I and others like myself, should have real time 
access to the same information so that we may also base our trading decisions on
the latest information provided by a company. Please stop the practice of 
selective disclosure. All shareholders should have equal, real time access to 
any information divulged by company officials.
     
Thank you, 
Jeff Sherman
