A Werth-WMe Selection Must Be Based en Facts Statistical Research is a Specialist's Problem The Invester is best satisfied who j-enHzec'that the. comparison of bend values, In a practical sense, is beyond the facilities of an individual, and se accepts the advice of these who specialize in that work. The time involved, nnd the research work performed, requires the undivided attention of trained statis ticians. Fer an individual te attempt a selection would result in a comparison of statistics, the cost of which either in time or money would be se high as te inake personal selection a barrier te satisfactory investment.
