Excerpt from The Stock Exchange: A Short Study of Investment and Speculation In an old Pennsylvanian almanac of the eighteenth century two qualities were postulated for success in business: first, application or industry, and second, thrift or frugality. The first without the second often leads to nothing. "A man if he knows not how to save as he gets, may keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a groat at last." The old proverb, A fat kitchen makes a lean will, should remind us moderns that not only excess in eating and drinking, but luxurious and expensive follies of all kinds may drive the hardest worker into debt and difficulty, until after long enjoyment of a good income he ends his career in poverty and dependence. This book is not concerned, however, with the moral value of thrift, or even with the advantages which savings bestow upon the individual.

Excerpt from The Art of Wall Street Investing Lthough the popular impression is probably the reverse, it is certainly a fact that a greater sum of money is annually lost in this country through unwise investment in Wall Street, than through pure speculation. While fortunes are daily jeopardized and dissi pated through speculation in stocks, bonds, grain-futures and like ventures, yet the many sums, large and small, which annually leave the pockets of actual investors are far greater in amount. Indeed, I would almost say that the losses incurred through unwise Wall Street investing are easily tenfold the losses occasioned through mere speculation on the exchanges.

But it is not easy to draw the line where investment ends and speculation begins. In Wall Street such a line is drawn, but it is an arbitrary division. When a security is bought and paid for in full, put away in a place of safe keeping and held for the income it yields - that is called an investment. The great bulk of the dealings in bonds are for investment. When a security is bought on margin and held for sale as soon as the price advances - that is speculation. The bulk of the dealings in stocks is speculative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Duncan on Investment and Speculation in Stocks and Shares In presenting this work to the public our object has been to explain the technicalities of the Stock Exchange, and to clear up such difficulties as have hitherto lain in the paths of inexperienced investors. We show the principles upon which a capitalist, large or small, can obtain the highest return for his money, and point out the comparative risks he runs in investments of various qualities. Without expressing our own views or indicating any particular securities as suitable for investment, we have endeavoured to place a capitalist in the position to judge for himself and employ his money according to his means, his requirements and his intelligence. We hope we have succeeded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
