Stamp, Coin and Baseball Card collecting have been contributing to individuals self esteem and satisfying family enjoyment for many, many years - and the very fabric, freedom, and integrity of our financial, federal and state foundations were built from the integrity of this premise and the ethics it brought about. The stability of a peoples republic in a democracy, and the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, 1776 - and the famous [TWO DOLLAR BILL] originate from and demonstrate the appreciation of our great nation and the wisdom of integrity passed on through memories and pictures on stamps, coins and baseball cards which define the world we live in. Considering this, "Stoomzee" thought it helpful to offer advice and help to establish an official collectible series of - Stock-Traders classical-collectible-tradeable-"cards" as a contributory service to the New York Stock Exchange and it's members, and enhancing an helping the individual view of integrity with people, collectors and investors...It is intended that these "cards" be bonded and certified and distributed exclusively at the exchange, free of charge, acting upon the unanimous discretion of a special panel within the NYSE and elected outside officials. This service is to preserving the future financial stability representing financial markets, integrity, around the world. These cards will be generously awarded to the many young adults and randomly chosen individuals who visit the NYSE each business day of the year. They may be bar-coded and usable in several public and private places. The cards might possibly be nick-named "Stoomzee trading cards", "stoomzee cards" for short or "NYSE cards" and will include a specific and statistical nature of the trader, floor broker, specialist and the firms they represent, as they portray a behavior on the floor which represents a physical form of integrity in the marketplace...Each day one lucky person who visits the NYSE will be given an opportunity to meet the trader on the card he or she receives and the trader will autograph the card and it will become a "special" - "Picture card"of the "NYSE Trader card collection". In addition, the "cards" will be produced with a real genuine face value, redeemable and payable to the bearer on demand, in the form of a steel-engraved NYSE check, issued from a special account of the New York Stock Exchange, wall street, Manhattan, NY. The value after issuance of the card may be determined by the NYSE member/firms and is subject to the buyers best bid/ask prices...The only required responsibility on behalf of the NYSE is to regulate and guarantee payment in full on demand, representing face value of the -the-"card", which however, as with any collectible, a market will create and dictate it's own value...This Proposal is hereby declared to have been written and constructed by Kevin McMahon and made public on Mother's day 2003 in the interest of helping, the state of Integrity, of Individuals, Companies, The New York Stock Exchange, the United States Government, Governments abroad, International Commerce, world financial markets and on behalf of "stoomzee" and it's affiliates..

STAMP, COIN AND BASEBALL CARD COLLECTING ARE AS IMPORTANT FOR THE SOUL, PEACE AND PROSPERITY OF OUR CHILDREN, AND THE NATION, AS THE POST OFFICE, US MINT, BASEBALL GAMES AND AMERICAN APPLE PIES - THE AMERICAN DREAM IS - OUR INTEGRITY - AND THE BELIEFS THAT OTHERS TRUST IN US, IS WHAT IS, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN, - IMPORTANT - SUCH WAS DEMONSTRATED FOR OUR ANCESTORS, AND SHOULD CONTINUE - KTM

Footnote on stamp collecting: Many of the most sacred, special personal achievements and internal sense of serenity in one's life can be attributed to one's childhood. There has never been a time, place or event in the history of Man, more important, than the life and times of a child, growing up, of which only innocence and beauty they possess. Parents should never underestimate the power of imagination, and always remember the lessons learned when they were young. One should always realize at this moment of time, that all that is left, when you are gone, are the effects, accomplishments, pictures and memories, you leave behind for others to see, cherish, learn from, and appreciate.

Commentary on Integrity" If it turns out that it's business as usual on wall street after the dust settles and things are forgotten, in time, which could happen, it would be nice to know that a genuine attempt has been achieved, to protect peoples' interest, through the simple art of exercising integrity and respect for our future inhabitants of the markets.
