this is the residence of fred's and me he's a family man who enjoys the peace and quiet of his little home they has a good job sandy yes and his family enjoys their standard of living his souray keeps up with the cost of living and he owns some of those work saving appliances we all that myers so much finchley always checks to make sure he gets his money's worth but after paying his his savings account and life insurance premiums there never seems to be enough money left to pay for that but there's a time for dreaming and the time for working so every workday morning thinks as you can see things they could not be called but he always gets to work right on but i don't money may in time depreciate or you could spend it on a couple of nights out a week with the  wife seems like a lot of fun but with this kind of life you would depreciate so why not put your money to work but my money to work as right to think you can own a share of american business over twelve hundred companies listed on the new york stock exchange companies which employ more than eleven million people produce half of all of the good made in america and pay about half a nation's dividends many of these companies have been paying dividends for twenty five years or longer tyco neither are most of the people who own shares in american business three out of four of all share owners are in families which make less than ten thousand dollars a thousand dollars every month or every three months under an i v so why not the member firm of the new york stock exchange and get some practical advice on how to own a share in america before you invest can just think with sixty bucks a month spokane wants to sell his stock in the same company to get cash say for a new tractor the atlanta broker for the buyer and the spokane broker for the seller paid the orders to their exchange members on the floor of the new york stock exchange when the floor broker representing the buyer bids the price asked by the four broker representing this our friend's action is made when you sell security he's on the new york stock exchange  cash by the buyer every day millions of dollars of listed securities are bought and sold on the new york stock exchange you can check the price of your stock in a daily newspaper or by getting the latest market go to him from a member broker like myself well how do i get the facts before i and before you buy stock in a company you want to know among other things its record of sales for previous dividends it has paid and its prospects for the futurists of course we can't foretell the future but we can give you many facts and figures to help you select a suitable st f how about this monthly investment plan maybe i want to invest only about fifty dollars a month well set up for people who want to buy stocks on a fifty dollars a month can build up my little nes suppose you take a trial run the legendary investment group in my box selling for one hundred dollars a share let's say you invest fifty dollars each month in a stock selling for twenty dollars a share at this price almost two and i have shares a brokerage commission that if the price of your stock strive to get discouraged providing you believe the long range price trend will be upward of course you can sell it any time you lose on a stock that costs you more than to share in addition you have to pay the brokers commission on the sale it's an opinion the plan repayment of fifty dollars buys three and a fraction shares of stock at fifteen dollars a share of twenty seven dollars a share if you sell here you have a profit on the shares that cost you less than twenty seven dollars it's your fifty dollar monthly payment buys one and a fraction shares of stock at the price of twenty seven dollars of course the price of a stock can go down as well as up but with a long range monthly investment plan your fifty dollars a month buys more shares when the price is low fewer shares when the price is high to average out the price of all the stock you purchase you can quit the planet any time mr eventually and take the shares you have purchased but the idea of the monthly investment plan is to invest every month on a long range base in the stock of a company that you think will have good earnings and pay dividends it's take for example a company whose stock is selling at twenty dollars a share if that company over the past year paid out a dollar a share the dividend yield comes to five percent you can keep the cash or if you wish the dividends can be automatically reinvested for you now the investment group you're traveling is a good one because the stock has paid satisfactory dividends and even with its ups and down a long range price trend has been upwards looks pretty good thank you but before i invest i'm going to study the facts myself that is right list eventually all investors should study the facts carefully before they buy any stock and remember the monthly investment plan is designed especially for people who want to invest as little as forty or fifty dollars as well as for those who want to invest up to one thousand dollars every month or every three months there are many promising investment routes to travel many companies who stocks are listed on the new york stock exchange have helped to build our rising standard of living by constantly creating new job services and products therefore french lady and all those who can assume the risk of thinking dividends and profits can put their dollars to work by owning their share of american business through the money great investment
