Date: 06/20/2000 12:20 PM Subject: S7-24-99 I believe that the price of stocks, including OTC and pink sheet stocks, should always be determined by the real supply and demand on the free open market. There should not be any artificial method of creating excess or deficit supply or demand. The demand should be a result of investors examining the relevant information about the company then determining how much they will pay for stock. Roger D. Blanc, of the New York law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, representing a slew of Market Makers attempts to argue that his clirepresent a legitimate need in the market place, while the facts show that they simply facilitate their collective greed off the backs of the small (and often unaware) investor. Today, as never before, the possibilities of affordable investing exists for the individual, who previous to this era of communication was discluded. The SEC's Concept Release 34-42037, File #S7-24-99 MUST be put in effect to protect these individuals. Respectfully, Edmund Jagacki 172 Benziger Av Staten Island, NY 10301-2308
