EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
TINE TO PLAY SAFE.

The first of the year is the tradi
tional time for investment. Men of
large wealth take this occasion, or
at least they are supposed TO, to re-
invest interest and dividends from
their securities in other holdings.
Now. the large capitalist needs no
advice from me. He knows what
chances he can afford to take and
what stocks or bonds will best round
out his security list. The small-sal-
aried man or wage-earner may not
have a large sum TO invest at this or
any other time, but it is far more i'm
portant to him that he make no mis-
take than 1t is to the rich man. This
seems a good time. therefore, to re-
capitulate the principles which gov
ern a choice of securities.
I find that too many of the in
quirers who come to me for sugges-
tions are considering stocks, daZZled
by the advance in the stock market
which followed the election. They
want to buy something that ''is going
up In other words, it is the spec
ulative lure and not solid investment
worth that attracts them. Cndoubt-
edly there are plenty of stocks which
some day will be quoted higher in
the market place than they are today.
1t Is equally certain tndt IneT0 are
many stocks that sooner or later
Will be quoted lower. | know that
| am in no position to separate the
two groups with any degree of GER
tainty and / doubt whether many of
my readers are. Meanwhile, I do
know that there are plenty of sound
bonds and good preferred stocks to
be had, yielding anywhere from }
to 61a per cent. and that these are
being overlooked by the people who
need safety before anything else.
So my earnest advice to those who
have small sums to invest at this time
of year is that they be conservative
in their ideas of what Is fair return
on their money, knowing that such
conservatism will pay richly in the
end. Above all do not be led into
the fatal error of buying promotion
stocks, that is to say, stocks in new
concerns. which have only the rosy
dreams of the sellers of the stock $
to recommend them. Once in hun
dred time you may win at that sort
of game. the other ninety-nine times
you will lose. The quick wealth to
be made in these schemes goes to the
seller of the security" not to the
buyer.
