A dollar placed in a corporate bond in 1967 would have gained 17 cents in purchasing power by 1979, while investment in common stock would have realized an effective gain of 16 cents, said Mr. Nilson. In contrast, Mr. Nilson said the passbook savings account lost purchasing power during the same period.
