FINANCIAL REVIEWS.

In the last article in this. series it
was pointed out how systematic

always be begun with the daily re-
view or leader on the financial page.
Now this review, from the nature of
the case, confines itself almost ex
clusively to deveiopments@of one day,
In itself this gives only a partial and
incomplete idea of the financial situa-
ton as a whole
. 1t must be supplemented by more
general articles, such. as the. weekly
summary which practically all news
papers print at the end Of the week
on Saturday or Sunday. Here YOU
find the developments of six days
classified and interpreted in a more
general way than is possible in any
daily. article. and once more let me
emphasize the importance OF some
acquaintance with the financial sit
uation as q whole before one can in
telligently inform himself as to the
status of any PARTICULAR investment,
whether stocks or bonds The mis-
take the inexperienced investor makes
is almost always connected with the
error of taking a security out Of its
setting.
Having gone this far. the investor
can extend his knowledge by taking
up monthly reviews published by the
large banks of the country, reviews
