WALL. STREET POOLS
BY A POOL MANAGER, AS TOLD TO JAMES ABELLR

lions had been gained In the bull mar
ketS of 1927 and 1928, two years Of
almost uninterrupted expansion in stock
values, during which the market en-
countered no long spell of severe flnan-
cial storms. These men were brought
together by q banker with whom thy
all had relations. The banker suggested
that they combine the several pools into
one and turn the management over to
more seasoned market operator.
Amateurs Refuse to Take Loss.
But no operator of established success
could be interested. The list OF stocks
held was not attractive and the gentle
men of the group, now much humpleo
in spirit, were advised to close out their
commitments and charge the loss to
experience account" This they did not
wish to do, and it was finally suggested
that they consult the young man have
mentioned, who was then floor trader.
He had been in charge of the execution
OF orders on the floor OF the STOCK EX-
change for number Of important pools
and was known to cherish the amoltlon
to run a pool" of his own
He was not at all interested in the
proposition laid before him. But he
saw that the group were very wealthy
men and might be persuaded to finance
a counter proposition. He was con-
vinced that the market was facing an
impending break (thiS was early last
march,, He also believed that, follow
ing the anticipated reaction, number
of active stocks with which he was IA
miliar would enter upon new and
rapid advance. He suggested that the
stocks held by the crowd" be liqutdated
under his direction, as rapidly as pos
sible, and the money transferred to OPP
erations in the big stocks" which he
favored, when the right moment ar
rived. He promised to get back the
money lost by the rich dilletantes, II he
were allowed to put through his own
program. These men had already sunk
about S., 100000; but the enthusiasm OF
the young trader won their confidence.
They turned the deal over to him, put
ting up an additional million dollars for
trading purposes.
The first move of the new pool man
ager was to engage small staff OF
statiSticianS and investigators. These
men made an intensive study of num-
Der of stocks, checking up the facts
upon which the expected market ad-
vance might be predicated. Some of
the original selections of the operator
were thrown out aINd two or three other
issues were substituted. The result was
q list of about dozen active stocks
which he was prepared to buy in guam
ties as soon as the current reaction def
nitely touched bottom. Meantime he
had closed out the previous commit
ments Of the pool members, using the
million dollars of fresh capital which
they supplied to facilitate liquidation.
March 20 found him with the pool re-
sources in cash.
