ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 28, 2005 -- YTB International, Inc. (OTC BB:YTBL.OB), a leading provider of Internet-based travel services, announced today that Wall Street "WizKid" Chris Lahiji, who at 20 was the youngest person ever to professionally manage a mutual fund, recently selected YTB International Group, Inc. (OTC BB:YTBL.OB) as his "Stock Pick of the Week," and placed a $2.32 price target on the stock.

Lahiji, whose investing talents were promoted to the investment world in a Business Week Magazine feature article in 2003 and appears as a regular guest on Fox Business Television, is also the President of DailyTrends.com.

He noted in the report that, "My price target is north of two dollars ($2.32). The Company is expecting to make .10 to .12 EPS this year, and it's worthy of a forward-looking P/E of 20. As YTB makes agreements with online industry giants like World Choice Travel, a division of Travelocity, I say watch out for even more deals moving forward."

He has been featured in magazines and newspapers such as BusinessWeek, Barron's, Money, Institutional Investor, Kiplinger's, IBD, Los Angeles Times and has appeared on CNN "In the Money," CNNfn, PBS "Wall Street Week with Fortune," Forbes.com, Fox Business News Television and CBS Marketwatch.
