Press Release dated November 27, 2007

 
Independent Research Firm Upgrades Financial Media Group, Inc. to 'Strong Speculative Buy' With One-Year Price Target of $1.50 and Two-Year Price Target of Over $2.50
 
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Financial Media Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FNGP), a diversified media and advertising company, today announced that the Company's stock has been upgraded to a rating of 'Strong Speculative Buy' by Senior Analyst Brian R. Connell, CFA of Harbinger Research LLC, New York.

In the report, Harbinger states that the key driver behind the upgrade was the 'early strength of MyWallSt.net (http://www.mywallst.net) adoptions.' Connell placed a one-year price target of $1.50 per-share on the stock, and a two-year price target of over $2.50 per-share.

'The Company's new MyWallSt.net platform is another fully-featured product that in the future may very well come to drive more of the Company's revenues, market-cap, and potential take-over value than all of its existing business combined,' the report states.

MyWallSt.net is a multimedia and feature-rich financial social network for individuals interested in the stock market and other types of investments. The Web site offers free membership to its social networking applications, financial tools, and proprietary virtual stock trading competition.

Harbinger Research also praised the Company for the 'masterful job' it has done in developing its flagship Web site, http://www.wallst.net. 'Due to the size of its user base and corporate clientele...we believe the Company has reached critical mass and will emerge as one of the few leaders in this space,' the report states.

The Harbinger Research report provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the Company's market opportunities, growth strategy, management team, financials and competitive advantage.

Harbinger Research lists the Company's key competitors as well-established financial information hubs including Yahoo! Finance and AOL, and states that '[Financial Media Group, Inc.] has certainly built a strong business to-date in the face of just such competitive pressures, and given what we believe to be some very intelligent new products and initiatives, we have no reason to expect them to stumble simply because of the presence of the competitive pressure under which they have so far thrived.'

As part of its Valuation and Investment Opinion, Harbinger Research states: 'Given that acquisitions in the financial portal and the online community industries can routinely range $50-$100 per user, and given the Company's potential user base, this could translate into an acquisition value of $50 million to $75 million or more.'

Harbinger Research, a New York-based independent equity research firm, was retained by the Company because of its focus on providing research coverage to small-cap companies.
