My concern its that corporate America will hesitate to provide any meaningful information as a result of this ruling. blisenko: I speak from intellectual orientation and actual experience. What were talking about here is the whole concept of "capital allocation". Putting money together for good ideas. The information must come out, whether good or bad, inorder to attract capital on a consistent basis. What happens in the private dissemination situation, is that the odds of incorrect or inarticulate information being disseminated are GREATER without Reg FD. This is for a variety of reasons, including the problems with what is called the "fraud on the market" theory of incorrect information. It makes the entire market place for capital more, politly put, "effecient" and that makes capital more available, not less. All reg FD does is recite the law as it has been since 1933. It was enacted then to PREVENT large banks from screwing up the market which results in a collapse of the capital allocation system.. This is a bad thing. FD, using the correct technical terminology is a "good thing".
