Subject: NETworth(sm) News

NETworth by GALT Technologies(sm) is pleased to announce the following
developments at "The Internet Resource for Individual Investors:"

The Securities & Exchange Commission recently approved the electronic
delivery of mutual fund prospectuses.  Now NETworth members can
download prospectuses and applications to invest without receiving a
"snail mail" follow-up.  Look for NETworth to continue streamlining
the mutual fund investing process by bringing hundreds of new
prospectuses to the system during the course of 1995. 

Dreyfus is now "on-lion."  We're excited to present Dreyfus' complete
on-line information center.  Visit Dreyfus weekly for a market update
from Dreyfus Chief Economist Richard Hoey.  Also retrieve detailed
information on mutual fund investing basics, new product bulletins, and the complete Dreyfus family of mutual funds.  

Most importantly, in the next week Dreyfus will be launching its
comprehensive electronic mail service -- GALT Technologies brings you
the ability to reach the Dreyfus sales support and customer service
desks for direct responses to your investment questions. Look for the
capability directly in the upcoming NETworth area entitled "NETworth Shareholder Service Centers."  Visit Dreyfus today at http://networth.galt.com/dreyfus

We're also pleased to bring The Selected Funds to NETworth.  Featuring
an audio welcome message from Elizabeth Bramwell, sub-advisor to the
Funds, Selected presents complete information on Selected Special
Shares. Elizabeth previously managed The Gabelli Growth Fund and now
brings her twenty five years of experience as a security analyst and
portfolio manager to Selected Special Shares. Visit Selected at
http://networth.galt.com/selected

As always, this monthly NETworth update is intended to keep you
current on our regular enhancements.  If at any time you would like to
be taken off the distribution list, simply respond to this address.

856.1security/privacy concerns using NETworth "Personal Portfolio"?UNXA::ZASLAWFri May 24 1996 15:005
NETworth appears to offer customizable portfolio tracking based on their
frequently updated database or source of stock prices/mutual fund NAVs.

I was wondering if anyone was using this and if there are security/privacy
concerns in giving their application the intimate details of one's portfolio.

    re: .1
    
    I use the customizable portfolio.  As for privacy, I assume that anyone
    can see what I have in there, even though there is a password required. 
    I have several stocks in my portfolio that I don't really own, but that
    I like to follow.  And, there's no need to put the actual number of
    shares you own of each stock in the portfolio -- I tend to use it as an
    easy way of keeping my Quicken database updated, so all I need is
    current price.

    Ditto. All the numbers in my portfolio are hypothetical.
