Midas Special Fund, Inc. Changes Name to Midas Magic, Inc.


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Apr 29, 2011) - Midas Special Fund, Inc. (NASDAQ: MISEX), a mutual fund investing aggressively for capital appreciation, is pleased to announce today that it has changed its name to Midas Magic, Inc. The Fund will continue to be available under its current ticker symbol, MISEX.

The Fund exercises a flexible strategy in the selection of securities, and is not limited by the issuer's location, size, or market capitalization. The Fund may invest in equity and fixed income securities of new and seasoned U.S. and foreign issuers with no minimum rating, and may employ aggressive and speculative investment techniques, such as selling securities short and borrowing money for investment purposes, a practice known as "leveraging" and may invest defensively in short term, liquid, high grade securities, and money market instruments.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Midas Magic is subject to the risks associated with market fluctuations, foreign investment, leverage, non-diversification, short selling, options, and futures transactions, small capitalization, and fixed income securities.

We disclaim any obligation to update or alter any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Thus, you should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which also speak only as of the date of the Midas communication.
