The purpose of this proposal is to review the concept of a National Minority Securities Exchange whose sole
purpose is to give minority-owned companies the opportunity to raise capital through stock ownership by
listing themselves on a stock exchange created to facilitate their ownership needs. This will not be a
minority-owned entity but an entity that will be supported by exchange memberships and where a listing of
Minority-owned companies will be able to raise capital through their listing on an Exchange that will be
geared towards their needs.
The National Minority Securities Exchange will make
available an arena for companies seeking capital through
the issuance of shares in their respective companies. On a
securities exchange, small-cap companies can participate
in the American dream, that dream which was established
by our forefathers under the Buttonwood tree more than two
hundred years ago. For more than two hundred years, the
notion of raising capital through stock ownership was the
veritable foundation for American companies to grow and
compete in the free market. Now it is time for them to
complete this cycle, which is achieved in owning a piece of
the rock and become a part of the American dream.

It has become very evident that the average investor does
not possess the capacity to participate in the process of
investing because of the lack of significant investment
capital. The average investor, on average, would love to be
able to contribute in the growth and building of small
established companies by participating in the American
way, ownership through investing, yet this opportunity is
limited due to the aforementioned shortcomings.

A National Securities Exchange
Participation in the preparation and realization of
intergovernmental exchanges on the top and high levels, and
visits with official international leaders is a main goal of the

Why create a National Minority
Security Exchange ?

Minority populations are quickly becoming aware
of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the
euphoria that surrounds it. They also understand
the implications by which the Dow Jones
Industrial Average has helped gauge as to how
the economy of the country is measured. It shows
that the opportunity for an investor, here in
America, is primarily through the ownership of
securities. This also coincides with the growth of
Mutual Funds, Hedge Funds, and management

Let us direct those appetites towards an exchange that will give them
a venue to participate equitably in the marketplace with their own
investment dollars.


By establishing an exchange that has a listing
of all of the top minority companies around
the globe in general, and in the United States
in particular, we at the National Minority
Securities Exchange believe that we will
continue to attract a large measure of
support, not only within the minority
populations, but to all savvy investors who
would look forward to another marketplace
and further opportunities for venture capital. It
should be a marketplace where the investor
would feel that his or her investment dollars
are going to those companies who have
sought that sophisticated investors support,
but perhaps did not have a major exchange
by which they could advertise their product.

How we will pursue those companies and
firms that would be prime candidates for
our inaugural listing

There is little opportunity to list small-cap, medium-
cap or even large-cap minority-owned companies
on any index other than the OTC (Over-the-
Counter) Exchange, or Pink Sheets, which is
considered a little less safe historically than other
exchanges, and thus limits particular investment
clientele from placing working capital in these
companies. With the move by the American Stock
Exchange, which thrives more on its options
market than listed companies or the NASDAQ
market, which is the premier market for small
capitalized companies, towards electronic listing
without a physical auction market setting, minority-
owned companies possess little ability to interact
with one another within the medium of a physical
exchange. Even the private placement market,
which does not have a true marketplace, feels the
pressure to have an arena by which they can
entice investors towards their products.

The uncertainty that minority-owned companies
possess in becoming a publicly held company lies
in that fear of the possibility of losing ownership or
control of their companies via the public
marketplace. There are safeguards that have been
implemented and will be part of policy at The
Minority Securities Exchange in order to help
ensure that they maintain control of their
companies. Watch department will of course be
part of the market surveillance department at the
MNSE.

The uncertainty that minority-owned companies possess in

via the public marketplace. There are safeguards that have
been implemented and will be part of policy at The Minority
Securities Exchange in order to help ensure that they
maintain control of their companies. Majority ownership will
be restricted contingent on notifying the Securities and
Exchange Commission. When the situation occurs where
there exists 5% or more of a publicly held company, SEC
regulations state that they must divulge specific information
to the SEC regarding that increase in ownership position. It
aids all publicly held companies to be aware of any insider
investors accumulating stock, as such The Stock Watch
department will of course be part of the market surveillance
department at the MNSE.

If you as an investor had brought stock in Microsoft, and
had placed your good faith in Mr. Bill Gates ability to run
that company, you would more than likely now be retired
and sitting home living happily off of the dividends. We do
not know where the next Microsoft will be, and who is to say
it will not be a minority-owned company languishing on its
own, not being able to acquire necessary investment dollars
which will assist in its becoming that next big shining star.
Ownership is the key to wealth and prosperity in this country
and that ownership can be attained through a securities
exchange. Access to those necessary investment dollars
has helped to make IBM, U.S. Steel Co., Microsoft,
Netscape, General Electric and other companies listed on
major exchanges, into the stellar performers that they are. If
we examine the possibility of listing a company like Beatrice
international, it would show that the premier conglomerate
of minority-owned companies has come full circle to
becoming a listed company, and also help them to obtain
the capital needed to make it a part of Wall Street.

In order for any exchange to function there has to be rules and regulations
that all of the participants must adhere to regarding listing requirements, and
up-to-date monitoring systems there to make sure the exchange is protected
against the possibility of operating infractions.



The NYSE requires that you have; at least
1,100,000 shares publicly held with a market
value of at least $ 18,000,000.00, a minimum
of 2000 round lots, shareholders (100 shares
or more) or a total of 2,200 shareholders, an
average monthly trading volume of at least
100,000 shares for the most recent six
months, and a minimum pre-tax earnings of
$2,500,000.00 for the latest fiscal year.

In terms of the requirements for listing of
securities on the Minority Securities
Exchange, we would not be as stringent as
the NYSE, or other major exchanges, but we
would have requirements that would have to
be met in order to be listed. We will ensure
that any company completing an application
to list will not assume that they shall
automatically qualify for listing on the Minority
Securities Exchange.

The National Minority Securities Exchange
will prepare each and every company that
qualifies for listing a clear path for eventual
listing on major exchanges once it has met
the requirements needed in order to make it a
prime candidate for listing. Our intentions are
to maintain close ties with listed companies in
order to help push them towards that
eventuality. We hope to help minority-owned
companies understand that as they grow so
does the opportunity to compete on a level
playing field and to acquire the education and
experience required to become listed on a
major exchange.

The time has come to stop taking a back
seat to the major industrial companies and
put minority-owned companies in a
position to compete. That vehicle will and
must be an exchange of listed minority-
owned companies such that the dream of
expansion and competition can be fully
realized. Founder Jeffery Alan Jean

As with all exchanges, The Minority Securities Exchange, will be
membership driven. A membership fee commensurate to this particular
exchange will be offered to the general public and this particular
exchange will be offered to the general public and the investment
community with a designated number of seats available for purchase
that will be determined after inquires are made to other exchanges and a
consensus has been formed. When the NYSE started their Futures
.Exchange, the initial membership fee was ten thousand ($10,000)
dollars.
The reason for that particular fee was to get the NYSE floor community to
endorse a new product. The Futures Exchanges initial success showed
that the new product to get the NYSE floor community to endorse a new
product. The Futures Exchanges initial success showed that the NYSE
community would be supportive of a new venture, such as The National
Minority Securities Exchange, especially if this Exchange was to take up
resident within the confines of the NYSE. The membership fee we will
offer, will be commensurate with what the Minority Securities Exchanges
initial appeal will be, and what will be needed to attract the major
investment public and the major investment banking houses to the
Minority Securities Exchange. As with all exchanges, it will be determined
by the market forces of supply and demand.
We will create a weighted index based on the sector of the industries that
will be heavily invested in the National Minority Securities Exchange.
Because there could be a disproportionate amount of service oriented
businesses applying for listing, the index may show the heaviest weighting
towards that sector. Market forces and the economic climate will
determine what type of companies will be interested in the marketplace.
There would have to be a weighting also that could mirror the NYSE and
NASDAQ indices to help to create a gauge by which price movement can
be monitored at the National Minority Securities Exchange.

How well we perform as a National Minority Securities Exchange, and how
the investment world views us is dependent on many factors, including but
not limited to volatility, volume, and regulatory oversight or the lack
thereof. We will endeavor to make sure that the companies that we list
and trade will be the best investment instruments available. We will
conduct extensive efforts in order to protect the investment public with
rules and regulations that are specific and enforceable by the people who
will manage our compliance department.

We intend to invite the investment community to
participate in the implementation of this
Exchange. We intend to create a National
Minority Securities Exchange attractive enough
that the initial membership group will equally
share our vision. Clearly all of our companies
would have to initially have a listing on the
National Minority Securities Exchange as an
IPO (Initial Public Offering). We plan to make
presentations to the major investment banking
firms and give them a chance to become a
market-maker in that listed security while they
prepare to underwrite the issue. We also aim to
have minority broker-dealers participate in the
IPOs through the syndicate. All procedures will
be monitored by the SEC and rules and
regulations pertaining to Securities and
Exchange Act of 1933 and the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 will be strictly enforced.
As a self regulating body, we will process all
filings in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the SEC. To assure the success
of the National Minority Securities Exchange, it
is crucial that the investment banking
community become willing participants in the
process.

We will conduct due diligence. We will
investigate, probe and inquire all potential
members and listed companies and securities.
In developing and enforcing the requirements
that we can consider helpful to the companies
who wish to list on the maiden voyage of the
National Minority Securities Exchange, we will
aid many start-ups in achieving the American
dream We want to give them the opportunity
and the right to grow and participate in the
future of the united States of America in the 21
st

century.



If given the opportunity we believe that these
companies can stride towards greatness. In
remembering all of the contributions that the
minority population have given and continue to give
towards the building of America, we believe that if
Apple can grow to become a global success,
inspired by the genius of the late Steve Jobs, why
not give the smaller minority-owned companies the
chance to become the Apples of the future.

With experienced personnel implementing the
structure, alongside the possibility of having the
NYSE as a co-sponsor; we believe that it can be
fully operating in less than one (1) years time. We
will be seeking initial funding from various sources,
which would include grants from foundations, and
loans from associations, small business
administrations.

Our intentions are that within a short period of time,
we will have negotiated a permanent home for the
National Minority Securities Exchange with a
prominent Wall Street address. We seek, in the
future, partnership or co-sponsorship with the
NYSE. This would be in the best interest of the
National Minority Securities Exchange because the
structure is already in place; the facility is there, the
operations are there and it would be to our
advantage to set ourselves up with the best market-
making system in the world, which has proven itself
over the years to work better and be more efficient
that all the others.

OUTLINE REVIEW

Let us review. We have discussed the concept of a
National Minority Securities Exchange. We have
contemplated how we would like to see minority-owned
companies be given the opportunity to compete on
another level by way of listing on an exchange. We see
that through a National Minority Securities Exchange,
that is geared towards a listing of minority-owned
companies, that the opportunity to lead the way is by
way of an exchange. We will be seeking to have an
inaugural listing of a minimum of fifty (50) or more
companies that will fit the National Minority Securities
Exchange criteria for listing. We anticipate commitment
from the investment banking community to support this
exchange for a definitive time frame by becoming
market-makers in order to instill confidence to the
investing public and investment banking community.
We will have an elected board and a chairperson who
is experienced in the daily operations of an exchange;
one who has the experience and the vision to take this
exchange to the level of recognition that it would need
to carry it forward into the next millennium.

The outlook and prospects for such an endeavor are
very positive and the opinions solicited have been
