Jopon's Exports
Highest Since Wa

TOKYO. April 8 (AP).-Ja-
pans exports in March, based
on letters of credit, totaled $376
million. the largest monthly
figure since World War II, the
government announced yester-
day.
Instrumental in reaching the
record, the government said,
was the boost to $133 million
in exports to the United States.
This was also the highest, far
eclipSing the previous record of
March 1861 of $116 million.
Total imports for the same
period was $277 million, or a
favorable trade balance of $99
million.
Government officials, how
ever, continued to be cautious
on the outlook of Japar.'s trade
balance, attributing the favor
able trend partly to seasonal
factors.

Permanent's regular quarterly dividend has
been credited to every account. Bring your

That's such good way to accent the positive.
For instance, if your dividends bring your

You're on the threshold Of
investing, one of the over 20
million who, New York Stock
Exchange surveys indicate, are
seriously considering buying Sc
curitieS. You have savings in
cash or its equivalent, you have
insurance for protection, you
are ready to put some of your
savings in stocks, a mysterious
area in Wall Street. How can
you intelligently decide what
stocks to buy?
There is no rigid formula for
this. and if you seek one you're
going out of your way to in
vite disappointment. There are,
though, fundamentals whic h
will help you. What's more,
the guides are simple.
The first, most important
thing is to select a reputable
broker. No one can guarantee
that a broker will be everlaSt-
ingly honest, much less that
his Judgment will be consist
emily good. But a broker who
belongs to a leading stock ex-
change is expected to meet
specified standards of knowl-
edge, experience and ethics.
Tell All Facts
Second, once you've selected
your broker, tell him all the
facts about your personal fl
nances-and don't kid him or
yourself.
You should volunteer the
significant details about your
cash position. other assets you
have, the stability of your in
come. the debts you owe. A
reputable broker will ask you
questions which will reveal this
pertinent information, and he
must have it if he is to aid
you in buying stocks intelli-
gently. AS an illustration, the
right stocks for a young man
with no dependents could be
totally wrong for an older man
loaded with responsibilities, or
for widow.
Third. figure out what your
detectives are in investing in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-04-03
YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Deciding What Stocks to Buy
BY SYLVIA PORTER

stocks and tell your broker pre-
cisely what these detectives are,
If your aim is a steady in
come, you belong in certain
groups of stocks, but if your
aim is to see your cash grow
and you're willing to take risks,
you belong in other groups. If
what you want is maximum
safety and 4 to 434 per cent
income a year, your broker
might tell you to bypass stocks
now, just put your cash in saw
ings institutions.
Fourth, ask your broker for
advice on stocks to buy and
try to learn about the compa-
mics suggested, the reasons for
his advice.
Your broker will give you
much of this information. You
can attend courses to learn the
rudimentS of investing. You
can get excellent, easy-to-read
booklets free from leading bro
kerage firms and stock ex-
changes. You'll probably fol-
low your brokers' advice, and
when a reputable one knows
your setup and aims he'll do
his best for you.
Fifth, on your own make up
your mind that as long as you're
an amateur you're going to stick
to stocks of companies which
abide by Stakeholder Bill of
Rights" and let the SophiSti-
Gated do otherwise.
Reports Are Vital
This means the companies
periodically report financial
data to stockholders. provide
voting privileges for owners of
their shares, and their officers
and directors give facts on Sin
slider" transactions. All COM
panies listed on the New York
Stock Exchange do this, and
many sound companies listed
elsewhere or not listed on any
exchange also follow these pro-
cedureS.
But the law doesn't require
unlisted companies to give this
sort of information, and facts
on volume of trading and prices
of their stocks often are in
adequate too. This double
standard" is certain to get
thorough scrutiny from the Sc
curities & Exchange Commits
sion during it's full-Scale probe
Of the stock markets this year.
In the meantime, as an anna
teur, stay with the companies
which give you the facts you
need to reach sound invest
ment decisions.
Ignore the get rich quick
tips or, if you're really tempted,
let your broker check on the
tip, help you decide what to do.
Over years of investing, these
are the only rules my family
has followed. and our invest
ment account has risen stead
lily in value through good times
and bad.
