As far as I am concerned, the best information comes from the journals of
the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII).  The journal is
published 10 times per year and they average around 40 pages in length,
except for the August issue which is a book called The Individual
Investor's Guide to No-Load Mutual Funds.  This organization does not
recommend specific stocks or bonds, instead they give advice on evaluating
various investment alternatives.

The AAII also sets up day long seminars on Saturdays in major cities
throughout the country.  The seminars cover the topics of financial planning,
stock screening and portfolio management, fundamentals of investing, real
estate, and mutual funds.  The seminars cost $110 for members, and the
membership fee is $48 which includes the journal.

If you are interested the address is:

	AAII
	612 North Michigan Avenue
	Chicago, Illinois 60611

Good luck.
