Date: 03/22/2000 10:35 AM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD As an individual investor trying to control my own financial future, I strongly urge the passage of this regulation. The open availability of information pertinent to making investing decisions is right now held by an anachronistic cadre of over-priced and under-performing "professionals" whose only way to provide "value" to the consumer is by selling them information they have a right to know. Help us drop these advisors who collectively underperform that market over 80 percent of the time. Submitted respectfully, Seth Delackner, Investor.
