  Year-To-Date Performance

Year-To-Date as of November 15, 2004

Deen Capital+3.6%*
S&P 500+6.5%

* An average of managed accounts, net after commissions and fees. Individual account results may vary. See also www.deencapital.com/perform.htm. For information on managed accounts, see www.deencapital.com/mgdaccts.htm.

  Sold MarketWatch Inc. (MKTW)

Net sell price in managed accounts* $17.89
Date(s) bought Oct 28 2004
Net buy price in managed accounts* $13.66
Holding period 2.7 weeks
Gain/loss in managed accounts +31.0% (after commissions)

* The net buy (sell) price is the total net cost (proceeds) after commissions for all managed accounts divided by the total number of shares.

Yesterday, news came out that MarketWatch is being acquired by Dow Jones & Co. That's good news for us, as the stock price popped, padding our already substantial short-term gain in MKTW.

However, going forward, I would expect MarketWatch stock to trade in parallel with Dow Jones stock. And Dow Jones does not meet my usual buy criteria. For example, revenues grew only 5% year-over-year in the most recent quarter ended Sep 30. Therefore, I'm selling.
