Horton, chief executive officer of BP America d MURRAY. The front line of a lot of businesses is whoever answers the phone - so they're pretty important. And what a lot of people want when they call to do business is to talk to someone who can give them some - you see, answers they want results. But what do they get when they call? Well, it does like this: The receptionist says something off the wall like, Will he know what this is about? That's right, youve jst contacted someone whos asking you if you can predict that the boss knows what this call is about. Weve actually got someone on the line who thinks the caller is a practicing psychic -someone somewhat able to sense executive thoughts -- The Funny Part And, in addition to that (this is good), they also think their own boss is very smart too - that he, too, does business by guessing what the caller wants - even - get this - even before putting the caller through. Are we kidding about this7 No. Anybody can attest to it. But why does it happen? Who knows? Well, the telephone answerer probably has to come up with something to say (Oh gee, what shall I say?). So they say, Will our leader know what this is about? They actually say that. Come on now, is anybody, anyway, supposed to know if the person theyre calling knows what this is about? Wed like to say, yes so we can get put through faster - but we cant predict. Its just too bad we cant say, yes every time. So you see, the only thing to say is Huh? Or you could try, lets get the boss on the line and see if he knows, which is what we want anyway. The Real Answer Boy, what do you say to all that? You might try, sure the boss knows! Hey, of course the boss knows! Dont you know that? Don't you know that the boss knows what Im calling about? (This is actually crazy, isn't it? So dont take any of it seriously. Lighten up and have fun with it. Thats really the answer. Have fun and play around with it. Thats the real advice, every day of your life. Remember, its going to happen to you soon. So have fun.

You choose the security or mutual fund that best meets your objectives. Discipline is all important in dollar-cos- t averaging, according to Mulcock. You cant give up dollar-cos- t averaging when you see the market dropping, he said. You have to be consistent and persistent and follow the dollar-cos- t averaging system because in the long run thats the only way dollar-cos- t averaging works as planned.

Dan Rovig, vice president, - Cost Averaging Plan Best For Investors SALT LAKE. The most common pitfall of investing is buying high and selling low. The instinct to buy high and sell low is just human nature, according to Larry Mulcock. branch manager for Fidelity Investments of Salt Lake City. "The word goes out that a stock or a given mutual fund is hot and the price goes up to reflect that excitement, he said. "Everyone wants a piece of it, even if it's When it starts to fall, everyone wants to get rid of it, even at a dismally low price. To avoid this, Mulcock suggests a dollar-cos- t averaging plan. Dollar-cos- t averaging provides the investor with three major benefits: relief from having to time the market; a forced investment program; and an opportunity to even out costs on investments over the long run in hopes of profiting by selling shares at a higher price than what was originally paid. averagBasically, with dollar-cos- t ing, instead of trying to time the highs and lows, you invest the same amount of money at regular intervals over a long period of time. You end up buying more shares when the price is inexpensive and fewer shares when they are expensive. There are two major considerations an investor should take into account before committing to a dollar-cos- t averaging program. First, assess whether you hav e the financial ability to commit to a constant investment every month (or every quarter) no matter what. Secondly, determine whether you have the discipline to stick with the plan, even when you see the market changing. J. Colin E.
