reminiscent of last July. when
the Summer bull market cul.
minated. But while this fact
should be noted, and should pre-
pare one to become cautious in
due course. it remains true that
no definite indications of a re.
versal of trend are apparent yet.
In view Of the trend of the
market and the strong infla-
tionary forces now at work, it
does not seem necessary TO
worry about any important re-
action until the usual signs Of
accumulation appear. Since
do not find such signs, con-
tinue to expect higher stock
prices.
The composite averages are
now right under the peak of last
July, and some resistance may
thus be experienced, but condi-
tions favoring an inflationary bull
market are much stronger than
then, and seem likely to carry
through.
We have had the usual first
wave of anticipation of initiation
in which the inventory stocks"
were leaders. This was followed
by the usual reaction last fall,
Now begins the actual initiation,
and all stocks participate on the
ground that dollars are actually
devalued, and that freer spend-
ing is going to stimulate business
and increase the number of dol
lars earned.

WASHINGTON TIMES. TUESDAY FEBRUARY 9. 1s3l
Bull Market Reminds
Haney of Last Boom

Last summer there were little
confidence" Now confidence
is restored. Business Is going to
be stimulated. The day Of "gOing
through tk" wringer" has been
Indefinitely postponed.
For example, look at bonds.
Last July one bond index reached
70, and now it is 81. think that
this means that fears of nquida-
tion, defaults and reorganization
have been cast aside. Instead Of
a thorough deflation. we are going
to have relation"
So bonds and preferred stocks
which had been diScounting re-
ceiverships have been soaring re-
gardleSs of the inflated (devalued)
dollars which they pay. .
In some cases, perhaps, there
has been fear Of a "50-cent dollar
or even less, and the "59-eent dol
lar" then looks big.
Some good preferred stocks
are cumulative" and are in ar.
rears on dividends. If business
stimulation is going to enable
them to catch up on these ar
rearS, the size of the dollar does
not make SO much difference.
Probably such preferred stocks
still present some of the most at
tractive purchases for this phase
Of the market. But of course one
must consider carefully the capi.
tai structure Of the company and
its earnings prospects. An exam
ination Of the preferred issues OF
Wilson & Co., and American
Woolen will show what I mean.
Meanwhile, funds are pour
ing into the country and their
main objective is to secure
speculative profits. 1t Is very
misleading to call this move
ment a Repatriation" and GER
tainly there is no patriotism
about the movement.
Our Government is bidding a
very high price for gold. SO
gold is shipped to make a profit,
Our Government is trying to
make dollars cheap and to put
prices up, and begins by making
the dollar cheaper abroad than
at home. So foreign funds rush
in to speculate.
Some day they will take profits
and rush away again, but not
just yet, I think. Meanwhile, the
bull market will continue with
only minor reactions.
