EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
When to Buy Money.

1t is generally agreed that the time
to buy is when other people want to
sell. provided what is purchased ha
real intrinsic value. This rule applies
10 commodities and to securities. For
when everyone wants to sell the price
is forced down and eventually down
below actual value. The reason that
people sell at the same time is be-
cause it always looks as though the
price was going Indefinitely lower.
Now there is no way of asCertaining
when the ultimate low Is reached. The
time factor is the unknown factor in
the equation. In the case of com
modities, when the price is ct or be-
low the cost of production purchase is
generally advisable. 1t is not so easy
to recognize the low points for secur-
tiles But there always comes a time
when everything unfavorable in the
situation has been discounted in the
price.
All these principles are well known
TO spectators and to intelligent in
vestors. They may he applied to a
commodity not generally thought of in
this connection, and that commodity is
money. The best time to buy money
is when everyone else wants to sell
What is meant by selling money?
People sell money when they rush
head-long to exchange it for something
else bonds, stocks, wheat. cotton
sugar or what-nOt. Sometimes they
sell not only their own money. but
money they borrow from any one who
will lend.
When this sort of mania seizeS in
vestors and spectators alike it may be
advantageous to separate oneself from
the crowd and consider whether or
not it would not be wise to buy in
stead of selling it. How can one buy
money? 1t may be bought by the
sale of securities or commodities. That
is in effect what the speculator does
when he goes short" of the market.
but that is not the only way When
the price Of securities is abnormally
high and an investor disposes of his
holdings he is actually buying money.
That is. of course. much safer oper-
alton than speculative short selling.
There is no way of telling just when
il is the most profitable to undertake
this operation, but that there is such
a time admits of no argument, and that
4, time is always when everybody else
wants to buy securities or commodities
regardless of price
