NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Barron's magazine this week hosted its second annual Art of Successful Investing Conference, a leading investment seminar bringing together prestigious panelists of the Barron's Roundtable to share their outlooks on stocks, bonds and the economy. The event was held at the Harvard Club in New York City and sponsored by AIG Private Client Group, Frank Crystal & Company, optionsXpress, Wilmington Trust and United Technologies.
Each January, top editors of Barron's bring together some of the world's smartest money managers for a day-long debate. Their interviews and insights are published in three Roundtable cover stories with topics ranging from real estate bubbles to currencies and energy prices to individual stocks. For decades, the Roundtable issues have been among Barron's most popular with readers.
"The Art of Successful Investing conference provided attendees with the unique opportunity to interact and discuss investment strategies with experts and fellow investors," said Ed Finn, editor and president of Barron's. "We received very positive feedback from Roundtable participants and attendees last year, and were thrilled to reconvene the group to offer another outstanding event for our readers."
Panelists led intensive, standing-room only sessions, including the keynote by Barron's columnist Alan Abelson who writes the weekly "Up & Down Wall Street." Other presenters included:
