MNTR Portfolio (31.4%), Stock (22.5%) & Yield (17.4%) All Trending Up

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 25, 2009 -- The Mentor Capital, Inc. (MNTR) investment portfolio of S&P
500 stocks has grown at a 31.4% annualized rate since
inception last year. During the same time period the DOW was
dead flat at a 0%
gain.

During uncertain stock markets, professional investment
advisors excel at finding value and on average outperform
by 5% to 20%.

MNTR's extraordinary 31.4% rate of annualized portfolio return
above the DOW in major part is responsible for Mentor Capital's
20 cents per basic share in net earnings.

The 2008 $0.20 earnings per basic share translates to an
earnings yield of 17.4% and a P/E of 5.7x.

MNTR has also substancially completed its second year of
accounting audits so it can now begin the move up off of the
Pink Sheets.


If you lost money last year (our investments were up 7%) or
your portfolio is not growing at 31% or more, you may consider
MNTR before a move off of the Pink Sheets may increase
volume and normalize our stock
price.

Look for a Busy 2nd Half of 2009,
