Hughes Mr. Hughe, is a hond expert and analyst with many years' ac tive newspaper experience. Ev ery week day of the year he writes an interpretive dispatch froin New York concerning the activi ties of the day in the hond mar ket. He has prepared this series of articles for Advance readers at the request of the Consolidated Press Association. OEOKOK T. HUOMEU TWENTY-SECOND ARTICLE Caution to Small Investors | One rule of sound investment! which many people overlook is that! the smaller your capital the more conservative must be your securities. I I am otten told that this or that in-' vestor must have a large return be- J cause his capital is so small. Now exactly the opposite is true. The investor cannot afford to look for a large return, lie must have above everything else security of principal. He cannot afford to take chances no matter how small because he can- ? not sufficiently diversify his list, j Moreover the large capitalist is in1 a position where if one or two of his commitments prove unsatisfac tory it is a matter of only minor im portance. The same thing might prove a disaster to the small inves tor. It follows that what may be a good investment for one man may be strictly unsuitable for anpther. A widow with no experience in finan cial affairs and entirely out of touch with business conditions requires a different investment list from a man actively engaged in trade. This is especially the case when the widow is entirely dependent upon the in come from lier securities. She has. however, one compensation in that to her marketability is a secondary matter. The business man must have| securities for which there is a ready sale as it is conceivable he might need the money at any time for use1 in his business. Or he might want' to borrow upon his stocks or bonds] at the bank and banks loan money; only on securities with a ready mar-! ket. The widow on the other hand i requires only a steady and assured income. She can afford therefore j to take a bond or mortgage not so' readily saleable and other things; equal a slightly higher return can be obtained from the security with i a less active market. Every investor should make perfectly plain his or her own exact financial situation to \ the investment banker or investment) advisor, in just the same way as he, or she confides in his doctor or his lawyer. In this way investments can be suggested which meet the! need of the particular Individual. ] STATE BANKERS WILL MEET AT ASHEVILLE Asheville, May 30?Bankers from 1 throughout the State are expected to J attend the twenty-eighth annual' convention of the North Carolina Hankers Association which will be held here during June 4, 5, and G.. according to an announcement made here by the arrangement committee, j The North Carolina Bankers' Asso ciation is divided into ten groups, each covering a different section of the State, and it is reported that each group is trying tefbe well re presented by Its members as well as' by its delegates to the convention. | Addresses, special meetings on l different phases of banking. busi ness meetings and several 30ctal functions will include the activities of the bankers while In session here.
