Securities Pro.

Taglined "The Authority on African Americans in Finance," Securities Pro reports about blacks in the securities industry, "who've been hired, fired, promoted, or landed deals," says editor-publisher Tony Chapelle. Issue reviewed featured articles on a new black mutual fund, Rev. Jesse Jackson's Wall Street Project, a new black private equity fund, the National Assn. of Securities Professionals (a black Wall Street trade group), as well as news briefs on financial consulting, investment banking, sales and trading, and private equity investments.

Securities Pro Ltd. also publishes an annual report on the 100 wealthiest African Americans--which we were surprised to learn includes as its 4th wealthiest the Mashantucket Pequot Indian Tribe ("Nearly four centuries ago, white colonists nearly wiped out this tribe. Today, a hearty remnant, half of whose members have African-American ancestry, operates the largest, most profitable casino in the world. Foxwoods Resort Casino generates annual profits of $1 billion, second-largest employer in Connecticut, and largest taxpayer.")
