Selective disclosure must stop! Individual investors are at a disadvantage 
when companies can disclose information to a 'select' group of favorite 
analysts. I get the feeling that the only people opposed to this are the 
analysts because it removes them from an 'elite' position. Analysts are 
earning their living by being the first to know and sharing this selective 
information with top paying clients, rather then analyzing an open, fair, 
and public accounting of a corporations financial well-being.
