Buying. a Bond
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

It is one of the fundamentals of in
vestment that seasoned securities take
precedence over those in the develop
ment stage. 1t is this rule which is
applied in the New York law regarding
public utility bonds legal for savings
banks. The law requires that bond
to qualify must .e that of corporation
in existence for period of not less
than eight fiscal years.
The theory, and it is sound, is that
only over a period of time can the
stability of any industrial unit be estab-
lished sufficiently to admit its securities
to an investment rating. The individual
investor too often overlooks this essen
tial in his anxiety to reap the profits
consequent upon investment in an en-
terprise at its organization. The fallacy
lies in ignoring the record which shows
that a very small proportion of new
ventures make any profits at all. The
test of time must be applied and while
that may rule out speculative gains it
does make for conservatism in invest
ment.
The New York law further requires
that during the eight fiscal years which
corporation must have been in ex-
istence it shall have paid promptly and
regularly principal and interest on all
its funded debt. direct, assumed, or
guaranteed, as they fell due. 1t Is not
enough that the company in question
has operated the minimum number of
years, but that during this time is must
have met obligations punctually.
Carrying the standard step higher
1t is next demanded that for five fiscal
years preceding the investment the net
earnings of the corporation under
analysis must have averaged annually
not less than twice the average interest
charges on its entire funded debt. This,
Of course, is an arbitrary ratio, but 1t
serves as a guide TO the private in
weston bond may be entirely sound
II interest is earned only one and one
half times or even less, and the interest
may and often is paid when the
earnings for any one year are not
sufficient for the purpose, the corpora
ton drawing on surplus for the
deficiency.
Even under the rigid test set up by
the law it would be possible for a bond
to be legal if in one year earnings fell
under the twice over" requirement
provided the results over the longer
period were satisfactory and provided
that charges were covered twice during
the year Immediately preceding the in
vestment.
