FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

CNNfn Taps Local Expert Who Explains How Exchange-Traded Funds Can Help Terrorist-Proof Investment Portfolios.

Johnson City, TN August 3, 2004

Heightened concerns over uncertain world conditions continue to unnerve investors who fear that a nest egg meltdown could occur at any time.

CNNfn wants their viewers to know about alternatives to traditional Mutual Fund investment strategies and have selected Johnson City Certified Financial Planner™ Professional and Syndicated Columnist Jeffrey D. Voudrie to deliver the message during 'Your Money with Ali Velshi', Monday, August 9, 2004 at 5:00 PM (EST).

Voudrie, whose 'Guarding your Wealth' syndicated weekly column appears in over 50 newspapers, says:

"The value of Mutual Funds as an investment vehicle is eroding as more and more Fund Managers levy redemption fees".

Voudrie believes that these redemption fees unnecessarily restrict an investor's options and penalizes them unfairly for making strategic adjustments to their portfolio in order to react to constantly changing threat levels and associated market volatility.

"The continued threat of terrorism means Exchange-Traded Funds should play a strategic role in an investor's portfolio", according to Voudrie who went on to say that "Exchange-Traded Funds provide diversification as well as the ability to buy and sell throughout the trading day. Most importantly, their internal fees can be 1/10th those of the average mutual fund".

Voudrie has a knack for simplifying investment strategies and has developed a Patent-Pending 'Real-Time Client Portfolio Management System' that can help frightened investors manage risk without curtailing growth.

Voudrie will explain to viewers of CNNfn's 'Your Money with Ali Velshi' on Monday, August 9, 2004 at 5:00 PM (EST) investment alternatives to traditional Mutual Fund strategies that provide additional protection in a terrorist-aware economy.

Attention Editors:

CNNfn will be setting up a live feed in Asheville, NC. Mr. Voudrie is available for interviews after the show. For additional information or to schedule an interview, please contact:
