Company Press Release
Internet Stock Review Announces MonkeyDex
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 1999--The Internet Stock Review announced MonkeyDex, the first index of publicly traded stocks selected by a Chimpanzee.
MonkeyDex is an index of 10 Internet related companies selected by Raven ''Thorogood III.'' Raven, a 5-year-old chimpanzee, has starred in three feature films, several TV specials and numerous commercials.
On Thursday, January 7, Raven threw 10 darts (not including numerous misses) at a dartboard of 133 Internet related companies. Both Roland Perry, editor of the Internet Stock Review and David Allsberry, animal trainer with Boone's Animal For Hollywood in Castaic, Calif., were on hand for the dart throwing.
''As Raven did not have prior knowledge of how any particular Internet related companies have been performing, we took his ten picks and dated the prices back to the beginning of the year to provide easier year-to-date comparisons with the more traditional market indexes such as Standard & Poor's 500,'' stated Roland Perry.
''It was a pleasure working with Raven,'' he added. ''He has talents far beyond what we ever dreamed possible and we feel certain that his picks will surprise many on Wall Street. We will launch a special Web site, www.monkeydex.com, in the near future to monitor the progress of his picks. Only time will tell how his picks pan out, but this much we can say -- he is storming right out of the gate with picks like CMGI, which is up 95% in six trading days (... way to go, Raven).''
The Internet Stock Review will issue a streaming audio and video news release through AV Newswire next week so everyone can see Raven in his full dart-throwing glory. To see the news release, visit avnewswire.com.
The MonkeyDex index will be created and maintained by Nordby International. Nordby is a Colorado-based financial information provider specializing in intraday stock tables for regional and industry specific indices. To visit the Nordby International site, go to: nordby.com
