there were reactions of or 10 points

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Declining Stock Tempting.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

A rapidly declining stock market
presents a. temptation to the man
with money to invest am not speak
ing of spectators. the traders who
are in and out Of stocks all the time
trying to make living out of price
fluctuations. These people learn to
take care Of themselves: either that
or they soon pass from the scene.
But there are always small capitalists
who wish to take advantage of breaks
in the market by buying outright for
cash a few shares of some standard
stock.
This ia perfectly legitimate am.
bition. Opportunities Of this kind do
present themselves and may often be
taken advantage Of with profits. The
difficulty is to determine just when is
the time to enter the market. If the
operation Is to be successful stocks
ought to be purchased when they are
real bargains and not simply when
they are lower than they have been in
the Immediately preceding period.
There are two or three hints, which
may be helpful. One of them is to
remember just as speculative market
always goes up farther than funda-
mental conditions warrant so when it
turns downward it goes below any.
thing justified by changes in the out.
side situation. The reason Is simple
Spectators who have overtraded find
their capital impaired and must liqui-
date regardless of cost. Moreover 1t
is the nature of the speculator as
cOntrasted with the investor to want
to buy when every one else is buying
and to be in a rush to sell when every
one e.se is selling.
So the buyer of stocks for perma-
nent holding ought to keep in mind
the fact that a setback in the market
once initiated is likely to go long
way. Another rule from which he
deViates only at his peril is to remain
an investor and not turn a speculator
when he enters one of these declining
markets. II he allows himself to be
persuaded to take on more stock than
he can afford simply because he be-
lleves it is now so low that the next
move must be upward he is in grave
danger.
