Second Annual Madison Money Conference being held Saturday August 17th

(Madison) Nationally known investment analyst and author Ralph Acampora of Prudential Securities, Inc. in New York will be the keynote speaker for the second annual Madison Money Conference: You and Your Money. The program will be held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison on August 17, 2002. Mr. Acampora, a widely recognized leader in the field of technical market analysis and recent author of his first book, The Fourth Mega Market: Now Through 2011, will address conference participants at the awards luncheon.

Mr. Acampora is well known as one of the few technical analysts on Wall Street to predict that the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the widely accepted barometer of the stock market, would achieve record gains. Several major newspapers throughout the country including The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Business Week, and US Today regularly consult him for his opinion.
He also has appeared on the Today Show, NBC Nightly News, CNBC, CNN, CNN-FN, and other business news stations.

"We are delighted to have Ralph Acampora as a speaker," said Richard Entenmann, president of Asset Builders of America, Inc., a sponsor of the event. "He has been involved with inner city education in the South Bronx where his own educational roots lie and he has been instrumental in the development of technical analysis. He has a lot to offer our participants."
