seven are below the price at

2. The most sensational gains
in Winchell's list are in stocks
he mentioned many months ago
when the public wasn't follow
ing tips. The stocks he has men,
toned since November-when
the market has been in an up
surge which has few parallels in
history-have turned in a per-
formance much interior to that
of the general market! Out Of
10 stocks he has tipped since
October, six are quoted below the
Monday openings. The one ex-
ception here is his last tip
Webb & Knapp, which admit
tedly has been honey.
3. The stocks he has been
mentioning recently clearly are
not of the "blue-chip variety
(4) In nearly every instance.
the stocks he has mentioned
have sold up on his top, then
sold lower. then gone up again.
(5) And possibly the mort GO
rious criticism of all was this
from a leading investment AZ
wiser in New York:
Without his knowing it or
suspecting it. a Winchell tip
could be of benefit to people
wanting to get out of their hold
ings or to make a killing in a
certain stock. He wouldn't be
able to trace the source of the
tip. But it could happen" I
heard this criticism in various
versions all over Wall Street.
Mr.. Winchell has boasted
about his record. Here it is in
detail and effectively analyzed.
Mr.. Winchell has suggested Wall
Street secretly loves his activi-
ties. Here is Wall Streets re-
tort-in the words of its leading
men.

Pushcart business was a diff

Few Carts Remain
Flower carts operate elsewhere
in the District. but the Eighth
street lineup is the biggest single
settlement. And it is hardly
populous. Even on the busiest
days, only a half-dozen or so
carts are parked there.

Wall Street Comment

Wall Street Comment
With this record in my hand.
I have gone around Wall Street
in the last few days asking two
questions: What's good about
the list?" and, What's bad about
ita"
TO be fair, first here's what's
good about the selection:
~ If an individual had bought
q block of every one of the
stocks mentioned and held the
stocks through subsequent de-
clines, he would be way ahead
of the game. He would have had
to invest tens of thousands. of
course. But assuming he had
the cash and acted. he would
have a widely diversified list of
stocks in basic industries and
he'd own a piece of some of the
best-known companies in the
world.
(2) If an individual had been
lucky enough to put all his cash
in some of the hottest ones, he
really would have a wad of paper
profits now. When Mr.. Winchell
boasts about his mention of
United States Gypsum and Gen.
eral Lynamics, he has something
to boast about.
But. having said these two
good things about his list. you've
covered it," remarked one of my
tnformantS.
Bad Things Listed
What's bad about the list?
Here are some things bad"
/. It's an empty boast to
point to the overall rise in the
list. Out of over 1000 stocks
listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. only Al went down in
1854! Out of Winchell'S AZ,

It includes AZ stocks listed on

Stock Exchanges which have

since the start Of 1854.

list emphasizes that while a
person would have made money
If he had bought most OF the
stocks mentioned Cor just a

and held them-he would have
made out just as well or better
II he had bought any of several
hundred stocks which have risen
in an almost perpendicular line
in this period.
List is Submitted
The "Winchell stock record"
is being exclusively submitted
because it is now to be carefully
scrutinized by the Senate COM
mittee. 1t was the extraordinary
circumstances surrounding one
of his tips on Pantepec Oil
in January which led Senator
Fulbright to call for this record.
The tip on Pantepec Oil was pre-
ceded by simultaneous buy-and-
sell orders which suggest that
some people made a killing" on
the stock.
You will find all the names OF
the stocks below-plus the prices
at which they opened the Mon
day after the Winchell tip. the
low prices since and the closing
prices as of March Z, 1855.
