Check this out (what's really going on!): "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

The MonkeyDex index will be created and maintained by Nordby
International. Nordby is a Colorado-based financial information
provider specialzing in intraday stock tables for regional and
industry specific indices. To visit the Nordby International site, go
