The results of the research will be published Tuesday, Oct. 28, 1998 at 9:30 a.m. est. at www.investoraware.org.

The A.I.A. is also urging investors to please report their experiences with the below listed companies via an on-line form at www.investoraware.org. Investor complaints and compliments are often the first source for A.I.A. research and are welcomed. "Investors do have an opportunity to voice their concerns," said Executive Director Anthony Appel. "Many of the company reports published by our agency are precipitated by investor commentary through the website." "We are here to ensure that investors receive any and all information in a timely and forthright manner," said Appel. "We deem it imperative that information be communicated to all investors without regard to the size of their investment. Certain companies must come to recognize that individual investors with just a few shares a piece, have a collective worth that often far exceeds that of the institutional investors who sadly, sometimes receive preferential treatment."
