INVESTMENT WISDOM.

Investment problems are never
solved to stay solved. The manager
of an investment fund. like the man
ager of a business. must always be
on the lookout for changing condi-
tions, and he must take advantage
of them or they will take advantage
of him. Roger w. Babson. the we'll
known statistician. writing in Forbes
Magazine. cites the following ex-
ample of investment wisdom:
A man sold out his business, re-
firing with 100000 in 1901, select
ing with good judgment such in
vestments as Lake Shore 3as, Illi-
nois Central 41.s, and General Elec-
trio AVS, all around 101. giving him
an income of about $500 a year.
with which he was content. AL
though there has never been the
slightest question about the security
of the issues in which he invested.
in 1920 his principal had shrunk to
100000 and the purchasing power of
his income had been cut in half by
rising prices.
Another man, starting the came
way, read the signs of the money
market and. in 1912. began to make
exchanges out of his old bonds, keep
ing up with the increase in return
to per cent and then per cent
basis. from 1918 to 1916 he
switched over completely into short
term notes with high coupons. AS a
result, he maintained his capital
fund at s100 900 and arrived in 1920
with an income of $1,000. Then. fol-
lowing the reversed trend of money
conditions. he changed his holdings
into old and 5 per cent bonds, SELL
ing at great discounts, which would
give him an income of $1,000 year.
That man today has more than
double the buying power of the
other. And his principal. instead of
being now around 100000, could be
marketed for 100000.
1t is such advantages that may
be obtained by careful study of the
investment situation.
