Investment Market Broadening
Rapidly Says Babson; Urges IS.
Protection for Small Investors

800 bond in a railroad, utility OF
industrial concern or, more exactly
has fractional interest in hundreds
of such companies. By that very
fact he is just so much more inter,
ested in political and social develop
mehts calculated to safeguard his
investment.
Money Is Easy
Extreme ease in money is an
encouraging factor to the man who
has been delaying purchase because
of question as to possible reaction
In this connection there are such
factors to be considered as heavy
prospective flotations of foreign
bonds in our market, transfer of cer-
tain funds from investment to busi-
ness channels in case of any worth
while business recovery, and gold
expectations.
1.-The path of the small investor is
not wholly free from thorns. Obvi-
ously there are bad, as well as good,
bonds. Attempt to get more than a
conservative yield, not around 5.5
per cent to g per cent, inevitably
means acceptance of risk. 1t is
folly for the sake of per cent or =
per cent extra return to jeopardize
safety of principal. 1t is not in
bonds, however, to any such degree
as in stocks that the greatest dan
ger faces the buyer.
So-called Blue Sky Laws exist
in many states and unquestionably
have their favorable influence. On
the other hand, they do not, as a
class, go far enough nor have suffi-
cient teeth in them.
Moreover, this is really a mat
ter for federal action. While per
haps locally beneficial, it is no great
advantage to the people of the Unit
ed States as a whole that the fraudu-
lent promoter, kicked out of one
state, can hop over the border and
be undisturbed in peddling his cer-
tificates in adjoining territory. In
cidentally, at the 18th annual con-
vention of the Investment Bankers
association, September % to "A, a
committee report recommended, in
view of most states now having blue
! sky commissions, that arrangement
| should be made whereby when any
security is disbarred from any one
state or any security is investigated
in any one state and found to be
fraudulent notice could be sent
to all other groups. d"

The ability of the investment mar
ket to absorb tremendous and al
most continuous stream of new is
sues has puzzled many students of
finance. When questioned today re-
garding this unusual condition. Rog-
er w. Babson gave \at least one
good reason for the apparently in
satiable appetite for bonds-and
more bonds.
"We are rapidly becoming ma
ton of investors" says the statis-
largely put out in 800 and $500 as
well as larger denomination in order
that they may have more wide
spread appeal. The flotatiofs of re-
cent years have reached truly extra,
ordinary proportions and the ease
with which new bond issues have
been distributed indicates that the
market for Investment securities has
by no means reached even temp
orary saturation point.

masses was. carried on through a
relatively indirect route. A number
of investors put small sums into
the savings bank. The bank then
invested these combined funds LII
bonds. This same procedure is, of
course, going on today. More and
more, however, the increased atten-
tion given to the small investor Is
resulting in direct sales and the JOY
of clipping coupons is today by no
means confined to the man whose
large income puts him i'll the surtax
group.
Liberty Bonds Responsible
'STho situation brought about by
war conditions must be given credit
for supplying the greatest impetus
to bond buying among the lower sal
aried and laboring classes. For tens
if not hundreds, of thousands or res
idents in the United States, liberty
bonds constituted the first invest
ment purchase. The sales campaign
of 1917 and 1918, in connection with
financing of the war, almost ovel
night added tremendously to the
number of prospects for investment
houses.
'An interesting experiment has
recently been inaugurated in one
of the largest cities of the country
A store for bonds, similar to &
store for provisions, dry goods, fur
niture or any other product, has
been opened. The man on the street
is invited, through advertisements
and window displays, to come in ano
buy any bond of any denomination
that he may desire.
