Following the annual meeting of the Rogers International Commodity Index 
(RICI(R)) Committee, Jim Rogers and Beeland Interests, Inc. announce no 
adjustments to the weights of components comprising the RICI.  This outcome 
reaffirms the founding premise that for the sake of transparency, consistency 
and stability, composition changes to the RICI be infrequent.

The RICI represents the value of a compendium (or "basket") of globally traded 
commodities employed in the global economy (38 commodity futures contracts), 
ranging from agricultural and energy products to metals and minerals. The RICI 
and its various sub-indexes are used by many investment banks and investors 
throughout the world.
