I also got the mail solicitation from the American Association of Individual Investors. I was fairly impressed with their presentation until I read their 10 don'ts. While many were reasonable I take strong issue to the one which said never invest in any company in the Fortune 500 or S&P 500 list since their value is never unknown. This may be true on a short term basis but I believe you can make money in these stocks! In December 1980 I got 100 shares of AT&T. Now iif it isn't on both of those list as a true blue chip then I don't know what is! I paid 8/share. Those of you who work for AT&T know it is worth just a little more now, not to mention dividends paid. Reed Haslam Patil Systems, Inc. sytek!gi!psi
