Gruntal & Co., one of the nation's oldest securities brokerage firms, today announced that Joseph V. Battipaglia, Chief Investment Strategist, at Gruntal & Co., and John Daly, Managing Director at Trainer, Wortham & Co., will address investors on investment opportunities and how individual investors can maximize their investment returns in light of market volatility, trends in employment and economic growth, and other mitigating factors. A question-and-answer session will follow each of the presentations.
Though these are invitation-only events, members of the media are encouraged to attend, and should contact Stacey Reed of Morgen-Walke Associates at (212) 850-5667 to reserve space. Battipaglia has held senior positions at Gruntal for 17 years, and is regularly featured on radio and television, including guest appearances on CNN's "Larry King Live," PBS's "The Nightly Business Report," NBC's "Today Show" and "Meet the Press," and numerous financial programs on CNBC.
Daly has more than 40 years of experience in the fields of investment management and securities, including heading the Asset Management Division of E.F. Hutton and the Private Investor Department of Salomon Brothers. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the Money Management Institute and the Advisory Board of the Institute for Certified Investment Management Consultants.
"The consumer once again is providing stability and growth to the overall economy," said Battipaglia. "The negative wealth effect that so many feared has not evidenced itself because most households remain in good financial stead with the value of bonds, real estate and other assets rising."
