Corporate Relation Rankings Identifies Individual Investor-Friendly Firms.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 1999--

EquityInsights.com, the Internet's Shareholder Value Resource, has created the world's first individual investor friendliness ranking, called the Corporate Relation Rankings. Given the growing demand by individual investors for investment research, EquityInsights' ranking allows investors to immediately know which companies allow them to listen to their quarterly conference calls. Companies are classified into four categories, according to how they treat individual investors:

Friendly Companies: Allow individual investors to listen to the live call and the replay, Accommodating Companies: Allow individual investors to listen to only the replay, Unfriendly Companies: Do not allow individual investors to listen to any part of the call, No Call: Companies that do not hold conference calls.

In addition to the Corporate Relations Ranking, EquityInsights provides investors a detailed listing of upcoming conference calls, and when companies allow individual investors to participate, how to access them. Notable upcoming calls include:

Nike (NKE), Intel (INTC), Adobe Systems (ADBE), and Circuit City (CC)

For a complete listing of upcoming calls, go to: www.EquityInsights.com/upcomingcalls.cfm.
