Outlook For Rocky Mountain-Based Tech Stocks Focus Of Denver Forum For Individual Investors Feb. 6 DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 1999--Growth and technology companies, particularly among Rocky Mountain region-based companies, are on deck to be analyzed and discussed at the first Denver Informed Investors New Economy Stocks Forum on Saturday morning Feb. 6 at the Denver City Center Marriott. ''This is an opportunity for Denver-area investors to get professional insight on local companies,'' said Tim Quast, President and Chief Operating Officer of Sacramento-based Informed Investors Forum, organizer of the Forum. ''Attendees will hear directly from executives of at least two local companies -- Vari-L Co. (Nasdaq:VARL - news) and QualMark (Nasdaq:QMRK - news) -- plus get perspective from two prominent local financial figures.'' Andrew Drol, technology analyst at Neidiger, Tucker, Bruner, Inc., (NTB), and Christianna Wood, portfolio manager of the Westcore Mid-Cap Opportunity Funds, are the keynote speakers. All presentations will be followed by a question and answer period. Drol will touch upon several companies followed by NTB research, including two that currently carry strong buy ratings -- Rocky Mountain Internet (Nasdaq:RMII - news) and ACTV, Inc. (Nasdaq:IATV - news). The firm has buy ratings on several other companies including local companies Dii Group (Nasdaq:DIIG - news) and Vari-L . Wood will discuss the valuation differences for small/mid-capitalization stocks vs. large-capitalization stocks. She will explain why opportunities for appreciation in smaller company stocks currently appear greater than in bigger companies. Several Denver-area stocks, including, Storage Technology (NYSE:STK - news), are among the holdings in the fund she manages. The Forum will run from 8:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m..
