Date: 03/22/2000 8:55 AM 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.
