>>You can do better than that!<< What's your point? That you would have looked up to me, if I could throw darts as well as a monkey? Can you throw darts? If so I'll invest in you, this coming Monday. >> LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 8, 1999--In one of this year's strangest stock-picking contests, MonkeyDex announced the "Beat the Monkey" stock contest Thursday. For the first time ever, Wall Street and its army of high-paid analysts, experts and brokers will be able to actually test their skills against a real live chimpanzee! MonkeyDex is the Internet's first index of Internet stocks picked by an actual monkey. MonkeyDex was created in January of 1999 when Raven, a 6-year-old female monkey, tossed darts at a dartboard of 133 Internet-related stocks. Incredibly, her picks for the first six months of the year increased 55 percent. Lunacy, ridiculous and speculative frenzy are all popular descriptions of the wild swings being experienced by Internet stocks and the portfolios of Internet investors. "There is hardly a day that goes by that a fortune isn't won or lost by some lucky or unlucky Internet investor. It's truly the wild, wild west. So let's see who the best man (or monkey) truly is," said Roland Perry, editor of the Internet Stock Review and creator of the MonkeyDex. The contest is open for registration for the first 1,000 participants until midnight PST (Pacific Standard Time) July 11. The first round of the contest begins at the market open on Monday, July 12, and ends at the close of the market on Friday, July 30. The first ever Internet stock-picking contest limited to publicly traded Internet companies, the Beat The Monkey contest will pit Raven's picks from January against the picks of all the entrants. Raven's picks will not change for the duration of the series of monthly contests. To enter the contest, visit monkeydex.com Raven's picks, which will be selected and updated annually, currently include AudioHighway (Nasdaq:AHWY), CMGI Inc. (Nasdaq:CMGI), iMall (Nasdaq:IMAL), Inktomi (Nasdaq:INKT), ISS Group (Nasdaq:ISSX), Kushner-Locke (Nasdaq:KLOC), Lycos (Nasdaq:LCOS), Netspeak (Nasdaq:NSPK), Onsale (Nasdaq:ONSL) and Ozemail, which merged with MCI WorldComm (WCOM). The winner will receive a Dell Computer P200XPS with 64 MB of Ram and a 4 GB hard drive, 16XCD with 2 MB of Video Memory and a 15-inch .28 SVGA Teramars Monitor. The contest sponsor for the month of July is AllNet Services (OTC:ANSC). AllnetServices.com Corp. specializes in online marketing and distribution of a broad range of products and services at wholesale prices to both consumer and trade customers. The entry with the highest dollar value increase/lowest dollar value decrease in stock portfolio value during the contest period will be the winner.
