NEXT MEETING: Thursday, April 21, 2005

Be sure to join us on the evening of Thursday, April 21st when we welcome as our guest speaker Mr. Jim Bittman, of the Options Institute in Chicago. This will be more or less an introduction into options, and while it will serve as a way for those who lack experience in using options to get their feet wet, it can also act as a refresher for anyone who is no stranger to trading options.

We meet from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at DePaul University located in Naperville, Illinois. The address is 150 West Warrenville Road (at the intersection of Herrick and Warrenville Roads). The room number for this meeting will be posted on the easel which stands near the reception desk in the main lobby.

We meet on the third Thursday of each and every month, and these meetings are always open to anyone who shares our interest in learning more about investments and investing. You need not be a member of AAII in order to attend our meetings, however, we do have a yearly membership fee of $15.00 to help defray the expenses of the group, and non-members may attend any meeting for a $5.00 donation.

If you are interested in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) then you should pick-up a copy of the April 4, 2005 issue of Barron's, which has a fascinating article - beginning on page F5 - "Playing the ETF Card." This article also carries the Quarterly ETF Scorecard which is a performance review of ETFs for the 1st Qtr., 1 year, and 3 years.

Also for those of you who may be interested in mutual funds, next week in the April 11, 2005 edition of Barron's, they will publish the Lipper Mutual Fund Quarterly, which is about as comprehensive a list of mutual funds that you will find anywhere!

For those of you who follow Bob Brinker on Saturdays and Sundays, you may be aware that the local ABC radio station (WLS) that carries the Bob Brinker program has been pre-empting the show for other things. They have done this several times over the past two months. So let me suggest that you can tune in to Bob Brinker on the Internet by going to www.kgo.com which is the Internet address for KGO Radio in San Francisco. By the way, you will also hear far fewer commercials on KGO!

  • Thanks for tip on MoneyTalk. I was upset when WLS took the show offline for two weeks because of the car show. And then they did not even talk about cars, it was just live at the car show.
