agements. Arrangements are apt to
be the best in companies produc-
ing useful products rather than in
the liquor business, for instance, or
even in companies dependent upon
fashion and other mtangibles.
(lO) Importance Of Correct Timing
Stock prices have always moved
in cycles Of several years dura-
ton. Each cycle consists Of four
periods: - Prosperity. Decline. De-
preston, and Improvement. Your
banker will tell you it is unwise
q buy for profit in a period Of
prosperity, as at present. or even
in decline. Wait for depression
when your friends are all bearish
and the future looks dark. Such
time will come again, to be fol-
lowed by Improvement and a per-
lOd OF great prosperity.

will hold them. you cannot be wiped

preston comes. good stocks always
come back" But those who buy
on borrowed money or on margin
usually suffer total loss.
80 Importance Of Patience
For every stock buyer there must
be seller, irrespective of the
price. Stocks go up when NOR

Ten Commandments For Small Investors

Babson Park, Mass, June 4. A
small investor should first buy a
little stock in the best bank in his
community. Not only is that safe
investment; but it gives him pres
tige and source of advice on fl
anacial matters. After buying the
stock, he should get personally ac-
quainted with the chief executive
officer, who may be the President,
Vice President. or Cashier.
Cd Life Insurance and a Home
theoretically, if we are entering
into an age Of initiation and you
are likely to live twenty years or
SO, life insurance should not be a
good investment. You had better put
the money into small home with
an adjoining vacant lot. However,
you may not live twenty years, Oh
even five yezrs. in which case
life insurance policy would be your
very best investment.
~ Buy Common Stocks
These should be listed on the New
York Stock Exchange and approved
by your banker friend or by sea
soned investment counselor. They
should be common stocks Of com
panies without large bond issues Or
cumulative preferred issues.
