Don't SpecuIate: Invest

Leslie's: My first advice to the
man who has saved a few hundreds
FOR thousands is-invest it and don't
speculate with it. Investing is merely
putting your savings back into The
common fund of the country for use
in increasing production. Practically,
investing is buying securities with
the intention of retaining them for
the sake of their returnin dividends
or interest. Specializing Ito use a
polite term) is buying securities with
the hope Of selling them later at an
advanced price. Most people are not
in a position to speculate without I'M
due hazard. They might, by a mere
stroke of luck. buy certain stock
and sell it at just the right time to
make big profit, but the gambling
instinct would lead to similar trans
actions in which luck would change
and the money so quickly gained
would be as quickly lost. 1t is most
to the community to invest their
savings. The question is, What to
buy?
:. The main production Of the coun-
try is carried on by the big corpora
tions: their securities are well known
and full information regarding them
is available, and, generally speaking,
they are safe source of investment
for the small holder. The securities
of lesser corporations or firms, when
known locally to the investor, may
be safely bought.
The bonds of our government, our
states and our cities, Of course, lead
the list of investments as to safety.
The secured bonds Of good corpora.
tions or the unsecured bonds Of very
strong corporations come next, while
preferred stock involves less risk for
the holder than common stock. The
possibilities for returns are, of course,
generally in inverse ratio to the safe
ty. Any type of these securities of
good and established corporations.
however, are prudent investments.
The main point is, that after such in
vestments are made, the securities
should be put away in ones strong
box, and whether their market price
goes up or down should not seriously
worry their possessor. The facts to
watch and have some real knowledge
concerning are the value of the as
sets Of the corporation and the eff
cheney of the management

Steel was heavy from the outset and
it continued to drag it's weary way
