EVERYMAlN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE .. HUGHES.
BaIancing Bond. and Stocks.


We have seen that the investor buys
a bond on the Pre- mise that his money
will be returned to him at a certain
time plus interest and that the CO..
poratiop behind the bond Is not con-
cerred with the purchasing power OF
the money in which the security is
paid off, II the cost of living Is higher
at the time the bond natures than 1t
was when the investment was made
the bond buyer sustains a loss even
though the borrowing corporation
keeps its word in every particular.
The situation with the investor
who puts his money into stocks is en-
tirely different. He becomes a part
ner in the business and there Is no
obligation expressed or implied to pay
him back at any time or at all. II he
wants to realize he must sell his stock
in the open market for whatever 1t
will bring. Suppose now the cost of
living advances and commodity prices
90 up. The bondholder has no
recourse. but the stockholders in such
IN event expects, and with reason, that
his dividends will be increased to meet
the new conditions. 1t would seem,
then. that the risk of a change in the
purchasing power of money was taken
only by the bond buyer and that the
stockholder (and here is meant COM
mon stock not preferred) had all the
advantage. That would be so II the
cost of living always went up, but it
doesn't. If, for the sake of the argu-
ment. the cost of living should go
down it would be the bondholder who
would gain and the stakeholder who
would lose.
Now, the cautious investor who
wants to minimize risk and is con-
cerned only with stability in the buy
ing power Of it's income can insure
himself against the fluctuations by q
judicious distribution of his moneys
between bonds and common stocks.
It takes unusual discrimination to Sc
lect common stock to balance bond
holdings, but the principle is sound
and it is the fashion just now to do
that very thing, some advisers even
going so far as to urge investing in
common stock to the exclusion OF
bonds. That. however. is specializing
on the assumption that the purchasing
power of money viii continuously fall
