Subject: (no subject) Date: 03/26/2000 4:15 AM Dear Folks , I am writing to strongly urge efforts be made at equalizing the trading field for myself and all individual investors. I'd like to be able to sell short stocks on a down tick, carry naked shorts and maintain a short position on an IPO on it's opening day. File # S7 - 24- 99 Sincerely, Andy Perahia
