Title:: Chapter V - The practical construction of investment schemes

Collection:: Economics Books

of which all the component parts must pro perly balance each other, and that both in quantity and quality all the various stocks held must be on a near approach to equality. We have further endeavoured to show, unless a contemplated new purchase proves on investi gation to blend satisfactorily with the stocks already held, it is dangerous to combine it with them in the same Investment Scheme. Here we will describe the fundamental principles which should guide investors in the construction of Investment Schemes. In pursuance of this idea, we will first assume that the investor starts without any stocks in hand. Then, when we have exhaustively treated of the construction of an Investment Scheme, we will in the succeeding chapter deal separately with the treatment of stocks in hand, and show how an existing Investment List should be placed on a sound foundation. First of all the investor should make up his mind what results he desires to obtain. Almost any reasonable result is procurable, provided that the means most likely to produce the desired end are employed. To illustrate clearly what we mean we will outline and discuss a few of the typical and most frequently recurring objects of investment.
