EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By George T. Hughes
TENTH ARTICLE.
Who Should Put Money Into
Oil Stocks.

In the previous article on oil pro-
the hazards in oil production which
| account for the enormous losses of
| inexperienced spectators. Undoub-
| tedly Misrepresentation is at the bot
tom Of most Of these losses. The
risk has not been fully presented or
has been misrepresented. If buyers
of oil stocks had been correctly in
formed Of the danger, incompetent
or dishonest enterprises would not
have obtained their money The in
vestor or Spectator must deal with
persons who will truthfully present
the complete picture if he is to invest
or to speculate Sanely in oil securities.
All Common Stock Proposition.
Oil production is essentially a COM
mon stock proposition. There is
nothing of certain and commensurate
value that may be mortgaged as
basis for bond issue. Likewise the
uncertainties of production and the
certainty of ultimate exhaustion of
fields desposits forbid a preferred
| stock issue. Buyers of preferred
stock naturally anticipate a sound
liquidating value of their stock and
could be taken up by future returns
from oil wells.
But oil production has become such
an essential to modern life that 1t
must be financed. The very nature
| of the business calls for common
stock financing, with purchasers of
stock knowingly assuming the risks
and depending on large profits to pay
for them. Obviously the person of
moderate means and with virtually
| no way of obtaining dependable, ex-
pert Information, has no business
dabbing in oil. The money should
come from professional operators.
from large oil companies or from
well-to-do business men and bankers
who can and will employ honest, ex-
perienced oil men to conduct opera
| tfons, and who thereby expect fair
chance to obtain the possible large
returns.
Small Investor at Disadvantage.
But the small investor, who goes
out after the large returns, cannot
afford the loss, which is always pos
sible even in the most expert and
usually'is unable to know whether
he Is putting his money into a
| thoroughly honest and competent en-
terprise. He is in no position to
Judge as to the efficiency of the oper-
ators or to determine whether they
are honest or of the large army of
professional oil stock swindlers.
Established, oil companies do a
good deal of exploring and develop
| ing and employ the most dependable
known methods They can afford the
certain losses that occur because their
| other developments will pay. Stock
| in such sound, established enterprises
| is well worthy of consideration, if the
| investor is able to assume the risk.
The fact that an oil operator is a big
league base ball player, a minister,
| or the son of a governor, a senator,
| general or a dry goods prince
| doesn't mean anything. The oil bust
| ness requires oil experts, not profess
sional athletes and family trees, If it
| is to be conducted profitably.
