A Million Dollars from Nothing
By ALBERT W. ATWOOD

HAVE heard considerable talk about the
fortunes made in Bethlehem Steel. 1t is
stated that with Skilful broker million
dollars, or at least half a million, might be
made by manipulating $500 or $500 to the
best advantage in Bethlehem Steel stocks
If this is true, or one tenth true in years
time, will you kindly explain how It can be
done? e. +. D.. Buffalo.
DERHAPS the writer of this letter has
heard the expression running a shoe
string up to tannery"; perhaps he
knows what "pyramiding" is; and maybe
he has heard of "paper profits" 1t would
be necessary for him to work all these to
the limit of their capabilities to make half
a million dollars on 5000 in one year.
To say whether it is possible theoretically
to make 5000 turn out $500, 600 in Beth
lehem Steel would require rather long
but simple process in ordinary multiple
cation. However, am inclined to doubt
whether arithmetic is much help in solving
the problem. What are its elements?
In January, 1914, Bethlehem Steel
common sold as low as % %, and rose UNI
til October %, 1915, when it sold at 600.
Now, suppose when the stock was at 20 q
broker was willing to take a tive-point
"margin,' that is, IS a share in payment.
This means that by paying SIS share
person could have bought 40 shares with
5000. Let us say he sold out when the
stock reached 40. He would be entitled
to all the profits, minus commissions and
interest on the money the broker lent him
to complete the purchase, This would
mean profit of $500, roughly, which,
with the original sum, would make 5000.
Theoretically it would be possible to
continue this process all the way up
to 600. Whether the exact paper"
profit would be $5O0,OOO or less, there is
no way of telling without figuring it all
the way up, and that is waste of time,
for the simple reason that, practically
speaking no human being would have the
self-control and calculating wisdom to
speculate in this way.
To begin with, there is a practical diff
Guilty in that, as the stock reached very
high prices, brokers were extremely re-
luctant to buy it on margin at all. But
far more important than that is the in
disputable fact that, with stock rising
from 291s to 600, it would be humanity
impossible to buy and sell at exactly

ting into the papers-though she couldn't
help that. But what got his goat was this
suffrage business, parading the streets and
making speeches and going on those
hikes they had. And what finished him
was her mixing up in that shirt-waist
strike two years ago. She was doing
picket duty for the girls and got arrested

regular intervals or steps on the way up.
One man would become excited and think
that the stock, after touching 600, would
go to $1,000 share before it dropped to
500, and would hold on. Which was
wrong, because the stock, after touching
600, fell to nearly 400 (early November).
So of course that man would lose heavily.
Another man would take the view when
the stock was selling, let us say, at 100,
that, considering the fact it had never
paid a dividend, it was too high; and he
would sell out, thereby of course failing
to make half million dollars. Only a
mechanical toy or an automaton could
have worked the speculative game" the
way my correspondent suggests, and an
automaton would probably have lost.
because, while the stock did rise from 2912
to 600, it had occasional severe setbacks
in price, and the machine could not have
allowed for these and might have been
"wiped out" as a result.
Some Shoestring Spectators
A YOUNG Spectator, one Jesse Liver
more, in his twenties or early thirties,
was once credited with making million
dollars from shoestring, but later lost
it. Two clerks, Abraham White and
Samuel Byerly, with no means whatever,
on different occasions bid successfully for
large issues of government bonds. Byerly
got $50, 600, 900 of them, and he was lucky
to sell out his successful bid to large
bank, which could pay for the bonds, at
profit of a few thousand dollars.
Even James r. Keene, the greatest of
all spectators. did not leave large es-
tate. When keene first arrived in New
York, a prominent financier said:
"He came in private car. We will
send him back in box-car."
1t was almost true.
Of course large profits are made in Il
"bull" stock market such as we have been
having, in Bethlehem Steel and in many
other stocks. Men with $4,000 or $1,000
have in many eases run that sum up to
$4,000. There are few eases where
men with a few hundreds have made
$4,000 or even more; but | seriously
doubt whether the most diligent search
would find man who has magically con-
verified $500 into half million.
