THE PREMIUM ON SAFETY
(Copyright, 1914, by C. M. Keys, New York.)
In all the Investment markets of America there is to-day a decided
demand on the part of those who have money to Invest for a gwjd
big rate of Income plus a very large degree of safety. It is, perhaps,
curious to note that as a result of three months In which there has
been no market open for men to trade In and speculate, in the invest
ment public has come to place a relatively much smaller value upon
convertibility than It was accustomed to place in previous periods.
As a matter of faot, the very first demand that arose In ihe
markets after seven or eight weeks of almost complete stagnation
was a demand for short-term securities, the Idea of the buyers being
not to have something that could he sold again, but to have some
thing that could be held until maturity or until paid oft. Simul
taneously with this demand there was an awakening In the mortgage
market, a great many men going out to look for safe short real estate
mortgages Into which they could put their money with a definite
expectation that nothing evil would happen to it for two or three
years at least, or until the mortgage had matured.
Gradually as the market was opened up this principle has been
extended. In the bond markets of the country they trade in all sorts
of bonds, some of them with a dally market under normal conditions,
others just a reasonable market and a good many others that could
hardly be marketed at all. During the time when the markets were
closed up all these classes were about on the same footing so far as
market was concerned, and the revival of business began not In the
standard bonds that have always been known In the market-place,
but In the quiet, unlisted securities which have always been bought
and sold purely as investment issues. That was, perhaps, a natural
development out of* the circumstances, but It was about the last thing
looked for by the critics, or, in fact, by the dealers themselves.
The psychology of the Investor is a curious psychology. One ob
serves always that men who live in New York Boston. Philadelphia,
Chicago or St. Louis seem to like bpst of all, In normal times, the
standard listed bonds with an active market. If you pin them down
to facts y«u find that the large majority of them have never in their
lives availed themselves o<t that market and sold bonds, or even used
them to borrow money on. Nevertheless, they are perfectly willing
to pay n much higher price for bonds that are quoted all the time
than for bonds of equal security that are not quoted. When, there
for, one comes In contact with Investors In smaller cities and more
particularly in what Is loosely called the country, It Is discovered that
the value placed upon these dally quotations Is In almost direct ratio
to the size of the town In which the Investor lives and reaches the
vanishing point when one comes to the real country Investor, who
generally wants a mortgage or a very quiet bond secured by a direct
first mortgage, the money valuo of which he will not know at any
time during its lifetime.
It is, of Coursfe, not wise to make sweeping deductions from a
phenomenon like the strong demand for quiet securities. If one is a
dealer in this class of securities and makes a great deal of money by
buying and selling them, It le easy and comfortable to draw the con
clusion that from this time onward the investors of the United States
are going to prefer some quiet public utility bonds to the standard
bonds of the good railroad systems and the great municipalities. The
argument, no doubt, will appear In many forms in thfc>. literature of
such dealers. Of course, it is not a very sound argument, because
the premises upon tyhich It is founded are a phenomenon that has
been, so far, of short duration and that itself was caused by extraor
dinary conditions. In all probability the markets of the world will
hardly again be In a normal condition before a groat many of the
people who now are willing to entertain the idea of buying very
quiet bonds and stocks will again come back to their old fields and
want their dally quotations. Possibly many of them, in fact, will be
dissatisfied with what they have bought during- the period of sus
pended quotations and will seek, quite unreasonably, as free a mar
ket In the quiet bonds as they have in the past enjoyed In the others.
There is, however, some good sense to be deduced from the facts
in the case. It Is a fact, for instance, that people who during this
period of disturbance and distress have held perfectly good quiet
securities upon which they never expected to get a quotation have
enjoyed greater peace of mind and have been less disturbed than
men and women whose fortunes were Involved in the markets. That
is something to think about. It raises the valid question whether
In making investments a great many people did not pay a lot for
something that they never can use or never do use—namely, the
quick convertibility of the bond market. It raises another question—
whether the true investor, who puts his money away for safety and
for a reasonable income, is not, after all, the wiser man of the two.
These are not questions
drawn from the present conditions, but It appears obvious enough
that the experience of this year has at least lent further color to the
theory of safety and income as against safety and convertibility.
