In fact, this will be from invested
capital.
Most investors do not look at the
price at which their bonds or
stocks are selling: but only at the
dividends which they get. They
may have bought a &c stock for
500 which has gone up TO $3.50:
and hence, from mathematical
viewpoint, now yields only 4ec. Yet
they refuse TO sell it because the
dividend is still S6 per year. This
stubbornness on the part OF most
investors may sometimes be a mis-
take. Certainly it is one reason
why the market steadily goes up.
The buyers are increasing. with
few people willing TO sell.
How TO Get so
Now your banker may tell you
that the Sc days have gone by and
II you do sell sc can no longer be
secured elsewhere with even fair
safety. But | disagree with him.
Some OF the good public utilities
still earn 69t and should earn more
after World War II is over and cor
poration taxes are reduced. OF
course, you must hunt for them.
Such investments do not go beg

you insist
Why is it" you ask that one
can get go from utility stocks with
fair safety" There are three rea-
sons: % Because the Roosevelt
Administration prosecuted honest
ly-operated utility companies along
with the bad ones. This persecu-
ton has not stopped. (2) Because
most utilities are now being operat-
ed by old men who are discouraged
and disappointed. They have seen
their own fortunes fade away and
haven't the CUTS to wake up and
make another fortune. This can be
remedied by replacing them with
young men who never knew the
good old days" 60 Because many
bankers fear public ownership.
This can be insured against by buy
ing stocks selling on the basis Of
the cash Invested.

experts, however. tell me that the
natural growth referred to above
will largely Offset the handicap OF
initiation. This would surely be
true in the case Of companies which
get much OF their electricity from
water powers or natural gas wells.
l am not recommending public
utilities for profit. Merchandising
and other stocks offer far better
opportunities for buying low and
selling high. The fear Of public
ownership puts a ceiling on the
price at which public utility stocks
should sell. But for a 6ct income
with reasonable safety, | believe
that public utilities offer the best
chance OF success. Besides, re-
member you cannot have your

"The law says that the super

Mr.. Papy said.
