***NOTE: FOOLISH FOUR STOCKS ARE ITALICISED

The Daily Dow
Friday, April 19, 1996
by Robert Sheard

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Apr. 19): This week closed on a rather blah note for the market, but overall, it's a week to remember for the Foolish Four. After trailing the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the first four months of the year, our group of high-yielding, low-priced picks finally caught and passed (if ever so slightly) the index it's supposed to out-perform. Of course, it could lose ground again, but let's look on the positive side and enjoy the weekend, shall we?

Most of this week's gains for the Foolish Four came on the back of Eastman Kodak's earnings surprise, so it seems only fitting that we have some "fun" with the film company. You say you want a new camera?

Step out onto the Internet at http://www.kodak.com, then click "What's Hot" and then "Serious Fun." Kodak's new area for the Fun Saver camera has some cool moving images, a tie to information on some athletes hoping to make the Olympic team, and chances for visitors to win the one-time-use cameras instantly.

In other Foolish Four news, Chevron signed an agreement Thursday with the Qatar state oil company to explore a large offshore tract off Qatar's peninsula. For those of you who missed Where In the World Is Carmen San Diego? Qatar's in the Middle East.

Have a Foolish weekend and here's to better weeks ahead for the Foolish Four!
