MOTLEY FOOLS TO SPEAK IN CHICAGO ABOUT INVESTING


Join members of the Motley Fool on March 6 for an irreverent and
lively talk and discussion on investing and using the Internet
for financial information in making investment decisions.  It is
sponsored by Digit-Eyes:  The Chicago Blind Computer User
Network.  Among the Speakers will be Bill Barker, one of the
frequent contributors to the Motley Fool website and an
investment attorney.  Another Fool to speak will be Paul Larson,
who lays out many of the pages on the site and writes several
columns for the Motley Fool.

The talk will take place at 9:30 a.m. on March 6 in the Majestic
Building at the Blind Service Association, 22 W. Monroe, room 904
in the Chicago Loop.  Copies of the four Motley Fool's audio
books will be given away, including the latest "Rule Breakers,
Rule Makers."  It is read by David and Tom Gardner themselves.
The Motley Fools will come from Fool HQ in Alexandria, Virginia
to take blind computer users on a tour of their website and show
us the tools to make our own investment decisions.  Begun in
1994, the Motley Fool is now the investing home for millions
throughout North America.  Financial information and strategy are
served up at its World Wide Web site at http://www.fool.com and
through a weekly syndicated column and "The Motley Fool Radio
Show."
