SEC Vote Expected: The Securities and Exchange Commission is scheduled to vote Thursday on whether to approve a controversial rule proposal that would halt selective disclosure of company news. Two of the four SEC commissioners have expressed doubts about the plan, which has generated thousands of letters of support from individual investors. Many major companies and brokerages oppose it. The proposal would require companies to release market-sensitive information--about profits, new products, acquisitions and the like--to everyone at the same time. It seeks to limit the type of information provided by public companies during private briefings of securities analysts and institutional investors. Opponents argue that such a rule would chill the flow of information to the analysts and ultimately to the public.
