Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Dear Staff:
     
I support the proposed regulation very strongly.  I am an individual 
investor and can see no earthly reason why Wall Street Analysts should have 
key information before I do.  If these analysts cannot add value through 
their own efforts, why should they continue to be paid huge sums mainly 
because they are given information not available to the public?  The whole 
area of individual investing using the internet is placing more and more 
power in the hands of the individual to control his/her own future.  There 
is a very fundamental issue of fairness at stake here.
     
Sincerely,
     
     
Fred T. Teal, Jr.
