Title:: Chapter VI - The treatment of existing investment lists

Collection:: Economics Books

102 Investors who are unfamiliar with work of this kind will be well advised to have such a table prepared for them by an expert, as it is of indispensable importance that this table should be correctly made out in every detail. As soon as the Table is complete, the investor should examine the examples of investment objects given in the preceding chapter, ascertain which of these examples represent his own case the most accurately, and then compare his own list of holdings (as shown by the Table of his own investments) with the recommendations given in such example. The investor will now have two pictures before him, the one showing how his money is actually invested, the other how it ought to be invested so that his capital may be safe and his investment objects obtainable. When ever it is found that an investor’s own list differs widely from our example, then prompt and drastic action should be taken, and the list rectified without delay. Our examples are based on a life-long experience, and have proved themselves in practice to be correct. On the other hand, we have hardly ever known a case in which a badly-constituted list has produced the results which the investor himself has desired.
