Item 5:   Other Event.

     Shareholders of Market Guide Inc., by a majority vote at the Company's
Annual Meeting, approved a proposal to reverse split the common stock of the
corporation on a one-for-four shares ratio.  The reverse split became effective
October 16, 1995.  The Company's stock symbol was changed, temporarily, to
"MAGE".  The Company has applied to the Nasdaq Bulletin Board for a return to
its former symbol, "MARG", which should occur on November 17, 1995.

     The accompanying press release, containing selected financial information,
was previously reported electronically on a pre-split basis on Form 10-Q.  It
was re-stated in the press release to reflect post-split earnings per share and
Weighted Average of Shares Outstanding.

     See attached press release as an exhibit incorporated herein by reference.
