Special Pages for Investors to Premiere on Oct. 29

Special pages providing vital information and commentary for serious investors will debut in The Times Business section Oct. 29.

The pages, to be called Wall Street, California, will appear every Tuesday and will give readers fresh insights into how to make more money with stocks, bonds, mutual funds and investment strategies. The pages will include interviews with prominent mutual fund managers; “money make-overs” in which readers’ portfolios will be reviewed by experts; reviews of mutual funds; digests of brokerage and newsletter reports; and a column on trading techniques.

Also, on Feb. 22 and 23, The Times will host its first-ever Investment Strategies Conference. The conference, to be held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, will feature prominent portfolio managers, market gurus and other experts who can provide Times readers with substantial insight on how to improve their financial portfolios. The panels will be moderated and co-produced by Morningstar Inc., a leading provider of investment information, and by Times reporters and editors.

The new pages and the conference recognize the growing investment power of Times readers and their heightened need for information that can help them achieve financial security.
