Show NOT MERE LUCK "Bill Jones is certainly a lucky fellow, anything into which he puts his money seems to turn out well! The next time you hear this remark, look up the record of activities ac-tivities of Bill Jones. You will probably .find a man who considers an investment from many angles before placing his money in it. Instead of taking a chance he gets first-hand information . on the proposition. He does not simply take the "seller's" word as to the merit of the undertaking, but he goes to outside sources and checks up to see if the "seller" has a good reputation and whether or not the facts bear out his statements. It is probable that Bill Jones knows more about a proposition offered him than the "seller" himself. Bill isn't lucky, he just uses common sense and avails himself of the experience of others. Almost anybody can earn money by following recognized rules that apply to business undertakings, but few can invest money profitably if they rely solely on their own judgment, because they do not have the experience on investment matters to guide them. That is why sharpers can fleece the public out of millions of dollars annually. Investment losses can be avoided by asking advice from reliable re-liable bond dealers, investment bankers or investment departments of general banking institutions. |
