Canada and India are both unlike Australia 
in their trade movements ; while in North 
Europe, Belgium and Switzerland, although 
near neighbours, show similar differences in 
their respective trading conditions (see chart 
of price-movements in different countries). 
Indeed, by consulting a financial expert who

be arranged in any quarter of the globe 
where it seems to be expedient. This is a 
very important point to bear in mind when 
it is desired to realise any particular stock 
which has shown a substantial appreciation. 
We will proceed to illustrate on the map how 
these realisations and re-purchases should be 
carried out in practice. 
Let us suppose that the stock which is 
represented by the pin in Italy shows a 
realisable value considerably above cost price. 
That is to say, suppose that after a period of 
trading prosperity the increased purchasing 
power of the Italian investor has carried the 
price of Italian stocks up to a point where on 
their realisable value they return but a low
