When the news is'bad and the public is frightened, stock prices are low and yields are high. This is almost invariably the time that stocks should be purchased for investment, but it takes courage to buy them in the face of discouraging.news and general lack of confidence. When the news is good and the public is optimistic and confident, stock prices are high and yields are relatively low. This is the time that investors should sell stocks and take profits to avoid ensuing decline, but investors are usually reluctant to sell when everyone is confident and feels sure that continued holding would add to profits. Due to the recent drastic break in the Securities Market, we feel that consideration should be given at this time to of certain common stocks, which, during periods of 1^ will give maximum appreciation possibilities. We shall be pleased by correspondence. ••* GUIDE TO COMMON STOCK INVESTMENT" | _—^—^^ i , . I • Thomas Darst and Company "Planned Investment Programs’’ Greensboro, N. C.

Futures prices generally were up from $2.70 to $5.00 a bale and the October 1947 position traded at 34.42 cents a pound above Fri day’s closing quotation. Heavy buying was attributed to a growing belief that the govern ment cotton crop report due Mon day would not show the slight im provement in prospects indicated by private reports in recent weeks, but would be about in line with the Aug. 1 government report. Another factor contributing to the buying wave was said to be the urospect of heavy textile sales within the next few weeks under new' OPA ceiling schedules which mills say are favorable.
