Monkey Trumps Wall Street With 200 Percent Gain; Dart-Throwing Monkey Returns to Wall Street With New Picks For Year2000 January 12, 2000 09:26 PM LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2000--Raven, the dart-throwing monkey with her own Web site, showed up many of Wall Street's finest with her 213 percent gain for the year. "It's all in the wrist action," stated Raven, age six. A Web site and index have been created to monitor her performance. The Web site and the index can both be found at monkeydex.com. 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 six-year-old female monkey, tossed darts at a dartboard of 133 Internet-related stocks. Raven returned to Wall Street this year with a dart toss at a dartboard of 281 Internet-related stocks. "She quadrupled the performance of the Dow and doubled the performance of the Nasdaq composite," stated Roland Perry, editor of the Internet Stock Review and creator of the MonkeyDex. "Not bad considering she wasn't able to participate in any of the hot new issue offerings," he added. "And yes, she beat the Internet Stock Review's top 20 picks for 1999, which gained 79 percent last year. We did manage to outperform her with our Original Watch List, which gained 490 percent in 1998 and went on to finish 1999 with a two-year gain of 1,566 percent." Had Raven been employed at a Wall Street Mutual Fund, her performance would rank her as the 22nd best money manager in the country outperforming over 6,000 Wall Street pros. Raven's picks for 1999 were AudioHighway AHWY , down 21 percent; CMGI Inc. CMGI , up 935 percent; iMall IMAL , bought out; Inktomi INKT , up 177 percent; ISS Group ISSX , up 158 percent; Kushner-Locke KLOC , down 36 percent; Lycos LCOS , up 194 percent; Netspeak NSPK , up 88 percent; Onsale ONSL , bought out; and Ozemail, which merged with MCI WorldComm (WCOM). Raven's picks for year 2000 are Audible.com ADBL , Broadcom BRCM , eToys ETYS , Litronic LNTX , Medium4.com METV , Lycos LCOS , N2H2 NTWO , Prodigy PRGY , Software.com SWCM and StarMedia STRM . This year's dart-tossing ceremonies were recorded by a film crew from the National Enquirer and will air on National Enquirer TV :
