How will your group make US$4 million from each American Blind Pool? An American public shell with eighty percent control is worth US$40,000, PLUS net cash in Treasury. You are offering seventy percent control with a million dollars in Treasury. The private company should pay you at least US$400,000 for ABP. You'll have over 500,000 shares of ABP's stock. If you sell stock at an average price of US$8/share, you'll gross over US$4 million. Deduct your US$200,000 in organizational costs and brokerage commissions. Deduct cost of listing your ABP companies on a European Stock Exchange. Your group still earns over US$4 million from each American Blind Pool.

The secret to an eight U. S. Dollar share price is to ensure that there are more buyers than sellers of ABP shares. The American OTCBB trading will set ABP's share price. There's only a half million shares in American OTCBB Market. Focus buying here and you'll see ABP share price climb. You can afford to list your ABP companies on a European Stock Exchange. The European Private Placement shares will be sold in Europe. You can sell your shares in Europe. It should take you less than a year to realize your group's profit from an ABP.

To complete its recovery, Asian business needs capital infusion. ABP's are one way create capital while making your risk capital group a fortune. I'm willing to create and arrange funding of American Blind Pools for credible Asian merchant banking and venture capital firms. Do you have seed cash and business contacts? DealMakers will sponsor a one-day workshop at Regency Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, January 15, 2000. I'm Workshop moderator. If your group wants to attend, please contact magazine.

Here are five golden rules for specialists seeking to maintain an orderly market. 1. NEVER discourage a shareholder from selling their stock. If you succeed, you are only delaying sale until your share price is higher. 2. NEVER advise anyone to buy your stock. Let buyers make their own decisions. Your job is to help them buy stock at current price. 3. Communicate regularly with your shareholders. Keep your shareholders informed. BUT, understate positive events and overstate negative events about your company. 4. Use your shareholder newsletter to regularly remind your shareholders of your help with selling or buying your company's shares. 5. NEVER call a potential buyer. Let them call you.

The SEC should change its rules to help specialists. Changes would allow public companies to act more effectively in ensuring an orderly market in their stock. Unfortunately any rule change that would benefit a responsible specialist would benefit a crook. The crook would use rule change to steal from public and destroy public company. At present, crooks seem to have enough going for them. They don't need more regulatory help to bilk public.
