In the security option arena, the Mini-Nasdaq-100 option (MNX) is listed on the AMEX, Boston Options Exchange, CBOE and International Securities Exchange. 
The contract is based on 1/10th the value of the Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX). The Nasdaq-100 Index is a "modified market capitalization-weighted" index representing 100 of the largest non-financial domestic and international issues listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The index was created in 1985 with a base value set to 250. The index level was cut in half in January 1994 after reaching a level of nearly 800 on Dec. 31, 1993.
Because these contracts are fungible, contract specifications at these exchanges mirror one another.

Mini-SPX Index Options

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) introduced Mini-SPX index options (XSP), based on the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, beginning October 25, 2005. 
Mini-SPX options are 1/10th the value of CBOE's S&P 500 Index options (SPX), so if the S&P 500 Index is at 1400.00, the Mini-SPX would have a value of 140.0, and notional value covered by the Mini-SPX options (with a $100 multiplier) would be $14,000. 
These cash-settled, European-style exercise index options trade on CBOE's Hybrid 2.0 Trading System, which includes Remote Market Makers.
CBOE announced on October 29, 2013 that it plans to list a Mini-SPX Index options (options symbol: XSP) contract with a new PM-settlement feature on Tuesday, November 5. 
The XSP Index hit an all-time daily closing high of 176.21 on October 28, 2013.

Mini options

Mini options on five of the most expensive and popular stocks began trading on March 18, 2013. They are one-tenth the size of regular options, which means the costs of trading are dramatically lower and thus theoretically affordable for smaller retail traders. Each contract represents 10 shares of the underlying, as opposed to 100 shares for the regular-sized options. Apart from that, the terms and contract features of the mini options are similar to the regular options. They are American-style and can be exercised at any time up to expiration at the discretion of the option holder.
The options are initially offered on: 
* Apple (AAPL7) 
* Google (GOOG7)
* Amazon (AMZN7)
* SPDR Gold Fund (GLD7)
* SPDR S&P 500 Fund (SPY7)
Eight of the 11 equity options exchanges launched the mini options on Monday, March 18: BATS, ISE, NYSE Euronext's Amex and Arca exchanges, Nasdaq Options Market, BOX and CBOE Holdings' CBOE and C2 exchanges.

Minority stake

Owners or investors hold a minority stake in a corporation if they own a block of shares that make up less than half its total stock. Depending on the size of that block and governing laws, minority stakeholders can nonetheless exercise some influence over board decision-making. 
== Blocking scheme ==
As well as buying a large number of its shares, stakeholders can also find themselves with a minority interest in Company A if they own a controlling stake in Company B that Co. A then acquires. This minority interest must then be accounted for separately from Co. A's regular financial statements since the two are considered a single entity under U.S. accountancy practices. 
Depending on legal jurisdiction and company rules, minority shareholders that hold more than a certain percentage of a U.S. corporation's stock - usually one quarter or one third of the total stock - hold veto power over board decisions at extraordinary general meetings. Such a stake is referred to as a 'blocking minority'. In other cases, minority shareholders can register their dissent - under certain conditions - from board decisions to protect their investment by gaining the fair value of their stake plus interest.
