Total Investment $16,800
It will be seen that $16,800 will handle a ten-share lot of Western
Union Telegraph through a regular "Black Friday" panic, with a
resulting investment as stated above. It must be borne in mind that the
average prices of these purchases is 80, giving a dividend of 6% on the
investment, but when the market has resumed its normal condition (90),
the profits will be $2,100, exclusive of dividends.
If lots of 100 shares each were purchased, there would be profits of
$21,000 exclusive of dividends.
_The shares of the American Sugar Refining Company fluctuate 4,900
times their par value every year, and our method applied to them will
give a profit of from 200 to 300% per annum, exclusive of
dividends._
While we refer to the possibilities in making investments in Western
Union and American Sugar Company's shares, we include in our operations
a number of different securities, all at the same time.
For instance, when we would purchase one hundred shares of one stock,
we divide it into five or ten different lots and do the same thing in,
say, ten or twenty different stocks all at the same time; therefore,
instead of having on hand a few large lots, we have two or three
hundred small lots, purchased down to the lowest prices, and by
purchasing outright a large quantity in little "lots" at different
prices, the average cost eliminates the risk of loss and insures
certain profits.
According to the results of speculation and manipulation, the twenty
different stocks that we deal in do not usually all go down at the same
time. Some are going up, while others are going down; therefore, we are
receiving profits in one, while making advantageous investments in
another.
_We have been established in Wall Street for a number of years, and
we know about the various stocks on the market, their value and earning
capacity._ We know the stocks which are most sought after by
investors, and the stocks which are used by speculators to make money
out of the public.
