Chairman Levitt:
        Having read this morning's editorial in the Wall Street Journal as
well as the
"Fool on the Hill" column at the Motley Fool website, I want to let you know 
that
I support your efforts to eliminate the unfair advantage Wall Street brokers 
and 
analysts (to say nothing of institutional investors) have over the 
stockholding public.
The fact that some players in the market have the advantage of what amounts 
to
inside information makes a mockery of the market and places John Q. Public 
at
a distinct disadvantage when deciding what stocks to trade in- to say 
nothing of 
when.
        At a time when over 50% of Americans own shares in publicly traded
companies, to allow some companies to share financial information with a 
priviliged few ahead of the rest of their shareholders is nothing short of 
vile.
Any move on the SEC's part to restrict -and hopefully end- this process has 
my
complete support. I own a small portfolio of stocks that constitute my 
retirement
fund (as I have no faith that Social Security will be there for me when I 
retire)
and the notion that some Armani-suited creep that works for Morgan Stanley 
has better access than I do to information on my companies makes my blood 
boil.
        I am sending copies of this letter to my Senators and Congressmen 
in the hope that they will support your efforts.
     
Cordially,
Kevin Trainor
