points the broker will sell the shares and the customer's stake is gone. It is of course true that a rise of one point in the stock means $100 profit for the purchaser, and another $100 profit for every succeeding rise of a point. And by buying on margin one's capital goes further. Two thousand dollars will buy less than ten shares of Steel if the stock is purchased outright, whereas it will purchase one hundred shares on a twenty-point margin. On a ten-point margin it will buy two hundred shares. Thus it is seen that by buying on margin the profits are very much larger if the stock goes up than they are when an outright purchase is made and the shares are paid for in full. It is well to bear in mind, however, that stock prices have been known to go down as well as up, and when they decline the loss to the man who buys on margin is as large in proportion as his possible gains. And suppose it is not possible for him to furnish additional margin. His money is gone forever. A man invests $2,000 in one hundred shares of stock selling at par. He buys on a twenty-point margin. If the stock goes up twenty points-and he sellshis profit is $2,000. If it declines twenty points, he may have to sell, and his loss is $2,000. Another man invests $2,000 in the same stock, but buys it outright. He gets twenty shares, and a twenty-point rise means a profit to him of $400. On the other hand, a twenty-point drop means only a "paper" loss to him; he is not obliged to sell, but can hold on in the expectation that the stock will go up again. In other words, this is the essential difference between a speculator and an investor: stock fluctuations mean everything to the speculator and little to the investor. And the moral is, don't speculate unless you can afford to lose. There is, however, a safe method of buying stocks on margin, an excellent method, and one which would be to the advantage of the small investor to study. So far as we know, it was devised by five young business men, and is known as the club plan. It has proved itself a great incentive to saving for numbers of people and works out beautifully in almost every instance. The way it operated in the case of the five young men was as follows: They agreed to buy five shares of stock, one share for each member of the group. The stock they selected was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, thus assuring them of a ready market on practically a moment's notice if at any time or for any reason they desired to sell. The stock they chose cost $120 a share, so that the total cost of the five shares was $600, and they agreed to pay for it in regular monthly installments of $20 each. Their broker bought the stock, and each member of the group put up $20.50, or a total of $102.50 in cash. Previous arrangements had been made with the local bank, and one of them signed a note for $500; the note was indorsed by each of the other four, and they thereupon received $497.50 from the When your shipment goes overseas Boston offers your shipment the advantages of a shorter sea trip, favorable rates, and excellent port facilities for handling. Three important railroads have terminals at the docks. Upon arrival of goods here, The National Shawmut Bank supervises handling, insurance and forwarding. In the numerous details of establishing new foreign contacts, transmitting documents, collecting and re mitting promptly, there is ample opportunity to demonstrate that a bank widely experienced in export and import commerce is a decidedly helpful ally. Capital and Surplus $20,000,000 THE NATIONAL SHAWMUT BAN (Continued) bank, the face value of the note less one month's interest. The $600 cash was then turned over to the brokers in payment for the stock, the stock certificate being left at the bank as security for the note. When the end of the month came, each one of the five paid in $20.40, or a total of $102. The bank was paid $100 plus $2 interest on a new note for $400. At the end of each succeeding four months another hundred dollars was paid to the bank and a new note for $100 less given. When the loan was paid in full, the stock certificate was turned over to them by the bank, and was forwarded to the transfer office of the issuing company and five certificates for one share each obtained in exchange, each certificate registered in the name of one of the group of five. The person who does not regard saving as worth while might object that this club plan is too much trouble. The answer is that nothing worth while can be too much trouble, and the whole transaction here described was designed, not for speculation, but to assist five young men to save some money, and it proved so well worth their while that they have continued to buy stocks in this way ever since. Their agreement provided further that in case any one of them wanted to sell out his interest before the stock was all paid for it would be offered at auction to the highest bidder among the remaining four. In the case of the five shares of stock mentioned above the dividend rate was 8 per cent, and of course the group received the dividends while the stock was pledged with the bank. And the dividends in this instance exceeded the interest on the note by a slight margin, and also provided enough for the brokerage commissions. The bank has given these men the fullest co-operation. Sometimes they have paid as little as ten dollars a month each. But the bank has signified its willingness to loan them up to ninety per cent of the market value of good stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, provided the stock certificate is pledged as security, and provided further that interest is paid monthly and the note reduced by at least ten per cent each month. No doubt similar arrangements can be made with banks in every city in the country. The plan encourages regular systematic saving, and makes it possible for many people to purchase securities who might be unable to do so if they had to pay for them in full at the time of purchase. It is buying on margin, but it is a safe method of buying on margin. The money is borrowed from the bank, not from the broker; the stock certificate is delivered, and there is no chance of the purchaser being sold out, as frequently happens in the case of regular speculative margin accounts. Purchasers under the club plan need pay little attention to the daily fluctuations of the stock market, and so long as they stick to BANK SERVICE AND BANK SAFETY Every investor knows that banks make investments, and that every security in which banks invest is first subjected to thorough investigation. Unless banks were satisfied that these investments would be safe and yield a steady income they would not be made.
