|  |     I'm a member, and have been very pleased with them.  They emphasize
    education, and have specific programs and methodologies which they
    teach so that you develop a disciplined, objective method of evaluating
    stocks and managing your portfolio.  They publish a monthly magazine
    called Better Investing and have some investors fairs around the
    country.  The one in the Boston area is coming up next month, I think
    (I just got the information in the mail, but it's home), and I find
    those a lot of fun as you get to listen to a few speakers from several
    different companies as well as mingle and talk to other investo
    
    My experience with them over the past few years has been very positive.

    		Read note 192.3 in this conference, it has a brief
    description  of the NAIC.  I am also a member of the NAIC, thru an
    investment club I belong to, and share the same positive attitude about
    them.
