NEXT MEETING: Thursday - May 19, 2005

Be sure to mark your calendar for our next meeting on Thursday, May 19th when we will have as our featured guest speaker Mr. Jerry Keaton, Vice-President of Barrington Research Associates in Chicago. This firm does intensive market research primarily for institutional investors and we thought that it would make for a very interesting presentation to hear from someone who analyzes stocks for a living as to what a professional looks for when evaluating and/or recommending any stock for purchase. The title of Mr. Keaton's talk is, "Stock Picking For Serious Investors."

The meeting begins promptly at 7:00 PM and ends at 9:00 PM. Our meeting location is DePaul University in Naperville, Illinois - located at 150 West Warrenville Road (at the intersection of Warrenville and Herrick Roads). The room number will be posted on the easel standing near the reception desk in the main lobby.

These meetings are open to anyone who shares our interest in learning more about investments as well as investing in general. And while you need not be a member of AAII in order to attend, we do have an annual membership fee of $15.00 to help defray the expenses of a group such as this. Non-members may attend any meeting for a donation of $5.00 per meeting. We do meet each and every month throughout the year,
with speakers during the Spring and Fall seasons of the year.
