Everyman’s Investment A warning which it seems neces- sary to repeat over again and again is that against sending good money after bad in promotion stocks, Ap- parently guileless would-be investors will never learn to write off as a to- tal loss money sunk in these fake stocks. ‘The favorite trick of the promoter is to write his victim a form letter tell him that the “XYZ” Cil Develop- ment of the ABC Mines, as the case may be, unfortunately have not turned out quite the way it was ex- pected but that the stock can be ex: changed for shares in some similar enterprise the prospects of which could not be brighter. So far s0 good. Doubtless the “investor" would be as welloff with one kind of stock as another, that is, if he buys 1t from the same promoter, but there is always a proviso added that before the exchange can be made a “small” cash payment must be made. Sometime this cash is re- quired to cover the costs of the ex- change and sometimes it is required for something else. But it {s always required, Without this new money nothing can be done and while the form letter does not devote much space to this phase of the subject it is the only one which fs of any in- terest to the promoter. If you are so unhappy as to have been caught in one of these nets and are struggling to get away, this part about the extra money you are ask- to put up ig the only thing to which you need to give attention. Omit all the glowing descriptions and give your whole thought to working out this problem. If you have lost $100 will you be any better off by losing 25 more? Looked at in this light the solution is not difficult. Bear in mind these observations apply oly to promotion stocks for which there is no market or no market except the one quoted by the man who had the stock originally to sell. Other considerations apply when a company legitimate in character has failed and reorganization becomes necessary, I shall discuss such cases in my next articl BUSINESS BRIEFS PHILADELPHIA-—Bullders. here are renewing operations Interrupted by the severe weather in January.
