HOW TO INVEST, YOUR MONEY BY BAYARD DOMINICK. President of New York Better Business Bureau. Convertibility. Bonds are sometimes sold which are convertible within stated periods into stock of the corporation {ssuing the | bonds. Occasionally the exercise of the option is not to the advantage of the Investor and before availing him- self of the convertibility feature the holder of the bonds should Inform himself fully as to the actual value of the stock he gets in the exchange. Inveitments should never be bought primarily for the promise which {s offered of market profits. However, preference should be glven to investments of improving qual- ity and which might reasonably be expected to show a gradual appre- clation in value over a period of years. (Copyright, 1924.)
