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.
We now offer to the public the best plan for a legitimate investment speculation. We have an authorized issue of $500,000 debenture bonds due and payable in three years, with interest at 5%, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of buying and selling stocks and securities as dealt in upon the stock exchanges of New York.
In consideration of one-half of the net profits accruing from these investments we guarantee the bonds and interest at the rate of 5%, and conduct, manage and direct the business.
We distribute the net proceeds on the first of every month, one-half to the bondholders and one-half to our company.
These bonds are issued in sums of $25 and upwards, as purchasers may direct, and are transferable only upon the books of the company.
The first thing to be sought is absolute safety in investment. Only sound, dividend paying securities will be bought and only at a bargain when it is known beyond question that the price is below their actual earning power. Having purchased and paid for the securities the bondholders become the owners of them, and they will be placed in our vaults until such time as they can be sold at a handsome profit.
No get-rich-quick methods will be used, and no speculation indulged in.
