On Speculation

It is not easy TO form a correct
statistical conception Of the pro-
gram of speculation. Thomas Glib
son investigated 1000 brokerage
accounts spread over a period of 20
years, and found that so per cent
of the accounts showed final losses
Leaving interest charges, commits
sions. and taxes aside, il. would thus
appear that so per cent bought at
higher prices than they sold. while
only 20 per cent sold at higher
prices than they bought. Or. in a
larger sense, an overwhelming nl2-
jority bought in a boom and sold IL
a crisis, while a minority bought in
a crisis and sold in a boom. The
reason for this illogical procedure
is doubtless to be found in the fac
tor Of crowd psychology as the
average investor buys when every
body buys. and sells when every
body sells. while the shrewd invest
or buys when everybody sells. and
sells when everybody buys.
There is a big panic about every
seven years, as the years 1914, 1907.
1900. 1899. etc. have amply demon
strated. and within these large
swings there are medium swings.
If il were possible TO educate "a part
Of the investing public 10 adopt the
Hetty Green system OF keeping
cash balance in the bank till a vio-
lent break occurs, and then 10 step
in. the aforementioned unfavor-
able loss percentage could be most
happily readjusted Aside from
material advantages a great eco
nomic benefit could be attained by
stabilizing the security markets. and
incidentally the errstic earnings o.
brokerage houses. There is no sci
entidc reason why the business OF
speculation should be subject TO
higher loss percentage than any
other business. OF course. there are
those who will say that the best way
10 speculate is not TO speculate az
all.
As 20 short selling. Francis W.
Hirst. former editor OF the London
Econoaast rightly said that no code
Of ethics can make a valid distinc-
ton between betting that a horse
will win and betting that il viii

yond your purse when things look
cheap. or 20 sell more than you pos

is exactly the same moral objection

Southern PnCifc.

G. l. B.-Southern Pacific. as you
doubtless know. is a high grade IN
vestment issue. and TO any one who
would hold this stock for a perma-
nent investment our advice would
be that there is nothing TO fear. as.
under government control, divi-
dends and earnings are assured at
least as long as the war lasts. South
ern Pacific is paying dividends Of
SO a year and yields 1913 percent
on its present price. The company is
guaranteed around lis percent in
earnings, based upon the average
for the last three years. Such earn
ings are sufficient TO insure the pay
ment Of the dividend even when
government control ceases.
