Mormon Stock Index Featured in Salt Lake Tribune, Announces New Website
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Mormon News' oldest regular feature, the Mormon
Stock Index, was the subject of a major story in the Salt Lake
Tribune today. The feature article covered a major portion of the
first Business section page and was mentioned on the Tribune's front
page. The article also included a chart of the index's performance
since inception and information on how companies qualify to be
included. The article (without charts) is available on the Tribune's
business page at
http://www.sltribune.com/12022001/business/business.htm
.
The article coincides with the introduction of a website specifically
for the Mormon Stock Index. The website, located at
http://www.MormonStockIndex.com
adds background and explanatory information that will help the
user understand and research the companies on the index. The side
includes a page for each company on the index, with the company's
history on the index, the executive or executives at the company who
are Mormon, links to news stories on Mormon News and elsewhere about
the company or the executive and links to outside sources of
information about the company. We plan on adding shortly pages on at
least some of the executives, including short biographies and
resume's of their work experience and church involvement, when
available.
Started in July 2000, the Mormon Stock Index was set at a value of
100 as of January 1st, 2000. Its performance is based on the
movements of the stocks, weighted by their market capitalization. The
weights are also adjusted so that no individual stock makes up more
than 10% of the index.
Since the Tribune article appeared, Mormon News has already received
one submission of a new company to be on the index. And, we have a
report that CNN mentioned the index in its coverage this evening.
Reports of other coverage of the Mormon Stock Index -- or anything on
Mormon News, are much appreciated.
Those that wish to submit a company for inclusion on the Mormon Stock
Index can visit

The qualifications for which companies are included are available at
