sToCKMARKET ASALsIs
Present Upward Turn Not "Tempest
In a Tea Pot--Parallel Marget
Positions In proof Of II.


Sometimes the biggest mistakes are
made by the very people who ought to
know better. For example, the pro-
fessional trader who is expert at SELL
ing short in the final stages Of a de-
cline has learned that after nearly
every upturn he can always rely on
enough reaction to get him out even
on short SALE
Continued success following a given
method usually induces an erroneous
belief in the infallibility OF the method.
Ever since the stockmarket started up
on August Goth, last, many people have
persisted in regarding this steady,
general upward movement as merely a
tempest in tea pot" The argument
generally brought forward by such
people is that no improvement in bust
ness conditions have taken place sufli-
cient to warrant an upturn In the stock
market.
The fallacy Of such argument is APP
parent on the face Of it. The official
records show that for many years past
the average stock has invariably been
a purchase when conditions were bad.
in proof of this, you will remember the
panic OF 1907 when, in spite of the
teuac .ous business depression follow
NJ the average stock was an excel
.ent purchase at the $40 per share
level, seeing that these same stocks
adv anced in 1909 to the $110 per share |
level! In the summer of 1916 this same |
stock average receded to the $S7 ped |
share level, advancing in 1917 to about
500 per share, receding the same year
10 about $50 or $50 per share, only to
ADVANCE in the midsummer months of
1912 to the $1O5 per share level.
Then long decline started and in
1914, when the average business man
md investor thought the business
world had almost come to an end
lfter Germany's declaration of war -
hese same stocks on the Curb market,
when the New York Stock Exchange
vas closed, fell to the $73 per share
evel. Times were very bad then, and
perhaps that was why few investors
bought. If they had only had the fore
tight and courage, or, let us say, hind
sight many of these people might
nave loaded up with Bethlehem Steel
md Ctner stocks, which advanced in a
nest spectacular manner Regardless
If the numerous profit possibilities
which might have attached to the pur-
,hase of particular stocks, this same
general average heretofore mentioned
advanced to approximately the Sis
per share level late in 1916. When we I
say general average" we mean the
general average OF the very same
