Title:: Chapter II - What influences the realisable value of stocks

Collection:: Economics Books

27 the prices of all large and representative stocks, we append a chart showing the price- movements of twelve representative British stocks from the year 1893 down to the end of 1906, the last year for which completed annual figures are available at the time of writing. In this chart the horizontal straight lines denote the £50 intervals in the price levels of stocks and the vertical straight lines mark off the yearly periods. The zigzag lines are a faithful pictorial presentment of the price- movements of the individual stocks. In order to keep the zigzag price lines at reasonable intervals apart and within the limits of the chart, we have so arranged the quantities of the stocks that the range of prices commences at intervals between £500 and £1,200. It is, of course, obvious that the quantity of stock dealt with does not alter the relative movement of the lines. Beyond this, the chart has been left to tell its own story ; and the reader who scans the names of the securities we have chosen before he addresses himself to the study of the respective price-movements, will admit that a more varied selection of stocks could not be found amongst all the British stocks habitually dealt in.
