ToykoMex!Checkout: CRFT! Rusty the Steer Lets the Chips Fall to Select 1999 Stock Portfolio Steer Outperforms S&P 500 and Investment Pros FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 30, 1998--Rusty the Steer, the official mascot of the Star-Telegram, selected his 1999 stock portfolio today by letting the cow chips fall on a numbered grid of squares representing publicly traded companies in the Fort Worth/Dallas Metroplex. In the shadow of a trompe l'oeil mural of the Chisholm Trail cattle drive in downtown Fort Worth's Sundance Square, Rusty singled out the following companies (as of press time) as the ones to watch in 1999: -- Computer Sciences (NYSE:CSC - news) -- Craftmade International Inc (Nasdaq:CRFT - news) -- INSpire Insurance Solutions (Nasdaq:NSPR - news) Although many may question the qualifications of a wayward Texas steer to compete with the bulls on Wall Street, Rusty's picks have been more successful during the past two years than financial experts' forecasts. Rusty's seven-stock portfolio in 1997 enjoyed a landslide performance (up 62.87 percent) compared to the S&P 500 (up 31.0 percent). Rusty's eight picks are ahead again in 1998 (up 30.8 percent while the S&P 500 was up only 19.9 percent, as of Nov. 30). ''There's nothing scientific about the selection of this portfolio, but who are we to argue with success? Rusty's picks keep outperforming the market and beating the investment pros,'' said Rex Seline, senior editor for business at the Star-Telegram. ''Who better than Rusty to grasp the true meaning of bull market?'' Star-Telegram business reporter Jim Fuquay will disclose Rusty's complete nine-stock portfolio this Sunday, Jan. 3, 1998, in the Star-Telegram and on www.star-telegram.com. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Witherspoon Amanda Taylor, 817/335-1373 ataylor@witherspoon.com or Star-Telegram Rex Seline, 817/390-7729 rseline@star-telegram.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
