Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

From: Raymond Watrous, Southbury CT
I am in favor of this rule change.  I do not rely on analysis to make my 
investment decisions.  Rather, I now look at them with a jaundus eye first 
considering whether thou comest from.  Who do they work for and how will 
their employers benefit from their information.
Open the BACK ROOMS.  Release the insider information.  LEVEL THE FIELD. 
Thank you for recognizing that people have the right to judge for themselves 
how to make their money work without paying the high middle premium extracted 
from the Brokerages.  The current policies or lack of have cost me 
considerable sums in the past.  I have had to guess rather than calculate, 
gamble rather than invest and react in several cases that I know of, probably 
in many more than I will ever be aware of.
Thank you.
