I favor Proposed Regulation FD: File No. S7-31-99.

The average investor is not dumb as is insinuated by the large 
brokerages.  I beat their performance evey year even when they have the 
unfair advantage.  Level the playing field!

Thanks

There are so many ways in which the playing field is anything but level. 
This is a no-brainer--fix it, as should have been long ago.

The new FD rule sounds like it would be good for everyone.  One comment I 
have is that since you would be putting out information that can be easily 
misinterpretted by experts and novices alike, there should be some standard 
way to limit liability of the source.  Companies intentionally defrauding 
the investing public should be prosecuted, of course.  On the other hand, 
one has only to spend a few minutes in any of the stock chat rooms to 
realize that there are a lot of idiots out there investing in stock for very 
strange reasons.  If you allow these blockheads some new legal recourse when 
they misinterpret disclosures, you'll only create more trouble and less 
profits for intelligent investors, the companies issuing the info and more 
headaches for the SEC.
     
More accurate and timely information is a good thing for everyone.
     
Best regards,
John Christoffel

I would like to see a law that would eliminate the practice of companies giving 
information to a select few persons rather than the general public.  If anything
companies should favor their stock holders.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I would like to see selective disclosure to investors ended.  I believe that 
any investor who has the interest and will to do so should be permitted to 
hear information from their company that will affect their profit from the 
investment.  Please level the playing field for small investors.

To the SEC:

In the rapidly changing world of technology the public now has the means 
to receive and interpret financial information to help individuals make 
their own judgements.  If you limit what the public is allowed to see by 
continuing to have businesses supply only analysts with certain 
information you have kept public interests at the mercy of these unknown 
analysts.  There are certain people I trust - let them and I make our own 
decision.

Please require businesses to furnish appropriate financial information to 
the public by passing Proposed Regulation FD: File No. S7-31-99.

Thank you.

I strongly encourage you to adopt the Fair Disclosure rule.

It is very aggravating to see a stock price move up or down for a couple of 
weeks before news of some development regarding the stock becomes available to 
the average investor.

This happens regularly and sometimes the individual investor's best indicator is
to watch the volume of trading in a stock they might own.

A recent example in my portfolio is TGX. They recently reported .13 cents a 
share vs. expectations of .16. People were expecting the stock to show a strong 
recovery from some minor problems that had held sales flat. Instead they came up
with a mild recovery much below expectations.

For about ten days before the earnings announcement volume picked up sharply and
the price dropped from $16 to about $11 the day earnings were announced.

Someone got information on this stock well ahead of the average investor.

This is great news.  Finally someone is going  to stop all the big insiders 
from trading on inside info.  It has been very unfair to small investors for 
anyone to be able to go talk to a company and get inside or detailed info 
without it being made immediately public info.  I would think that this is 
blatently illegal and should have been punished and stopped a long time ago. 
  So, SEC, go and do it now.  It is long overdue..

As an individual investor managing my own IRA , I want to encourage 
you to go forward aggressively with this new regulation.

 It is the fair thing and, in the long run, will improve the economic 
life of individuals and the nation as a whole by improving the 
quality of information available to individual investors and by 
challenging them to take more responsibility for understanding the 
businesses they are hoping to profit from.

I believe that better informed small investors will increase the 
"rationality" and stability of our stock markets.
