|pensive?
! Mr.. Smith: Yes, on small stock
purchases. commissions are high
But this plan will discipline you
into regular investing and that
is a great advantage. Over the

stock fund will grow in size and
in value.

Monthly Investment Plan and
! assure you I buy in bigger
amounts than $40 a month. I'm
a professional in this field and
I am convinced systematic buy
ing Of stocks-so that your costs
average OUTS the soundest oi
all investing methods.
Favorite Stocks Listed
! You: What stocks might
properly consider?
Mr.. Smith: Well. the tor
favorites of the $4,000 NIP ac-
counts now in force are General
Electric. General Motors. Dow
Chemical. Standard Oil of New
Jersey and Sperry-Rand. think
you might also consider the same
stocks / mentioned to a young
married man yesterday--such as
Continental Can. United Gas
Corp, Safeway Stores, Radio

others which are the right type
forgou--as an illustration, East

top companies which are grow

buy.
/ You: With only $40 a month
to invest. should, I Just pick out
one stock or should I buy a
little of several?
/. Mr.. Smith: Pick out one and
buy up to 1000 of it; then shift
to another and buy UP to 81 900,
And urge you not to interrupt
your buying program except in
a real emergency.
You; But what If the stock
market goes into a tailspin?
My, Smith: For you. it would
be a good thing If stock prices
did go down because you'd be
able to buy more shares for your
money. I believe any time is
the right time to buy assuming
you buy good stocks. And if you
accumulate a big profit. don't be
tempted to take it. You're not
specializing. young man. You're
building for the long-term.
