then, however, something gives it a
shot in the arm. Any hypodermic

The recent $100,000,000 loan to
China and the talked-of loans to
South America are illustrations. If
we repeal the Johnson Act, allowing
loans to Great Britain, this will boost
foreign trade for awhile. While

of companies having real assets in
the ground look good to me. These
include oils, coppers, pulps, chem-
icals, and certain steels. Insurance
stocks appear to be a safe group
with good prospects—especially the
fire insurance companies which are
building up a conservative casualty
business. During the inflation era
following World War I, insurance
good business. But you say: ‘The
government takes 509% of the pro- |
fits one year, but does not share |
the loss another year.” This is true |
to a certain extent. Hence, to get
out of debt and avoid future losses
should be one aim of every business-
man in 1941—except those to whom
the government is allowing heavy
plant charge-offs.
capital basis the Excess Profits Tax
applies only after 8% is earned.
Have you ever figured what 8 %
will give you when compounded an-
nually? For instance, $5,000 at
8% compound interest would
amount to over $50,000 in 30 years.
When you multiply the amount by
10 or by 100, the result is stupen-
dous. Moreover, it makes little dif-
ference to a conservative investor
or businessman whether this 8%
goes into dividends, or to plant im-
provement, or to debt reduction. I
once asked Thomas A. Edison who
was the world’s greatest inventor.
He flashed his eyes and replied:
“That chap who invented compound
interest!”
Outlook For Utilities
Although the eastern railroads
should do better during 1941, so
many banks and investors are wait-
ing for a chance to unload. I do not
foresee much prospect of a boom in
railroad stocks. As for utility stocks,
the situation is only a little better.
The increase even in normal taxes
will hurt the utilities more than any
other group. Utilities, moreover,
cannot raise their rates, at least dur-
ing 1941. Therefore, the increase in
normal taxes from 20% to 24%
or more, comes out of the stock-
holders. This is not the case in
many industries where the increase
in normal taxes can be absorbed by
higher prices of finished products.
The only hope is that the increased
consumption of electricity will offset
this tax increase or else that the
commissions will be more lenient as
to depreciation.
Bonds And Industrial Stocks
High-grade, long-term, low-cou-
pon bonds are today in the same
dangerous position as were the blue~
chip stocks in 1929. They can move
in only one way; and that is down.
May not an investor be crazy to tie
up his money at 2%, or even 3%,
for thirty, twenty, ‘or even ten
years? There is justification for an
insurance company, which knows
that in 1960 it will need so much
money and can base its premium on
a 2% rate, to buy these good bonds,
but a bank or private investor has
no right to do so. Also, I am not
very keen for second-grade bonds
except in special cases with which
I personally am fully acquainted.
stacks stood up almost the best of
any group. Some of the banks and
investment trusts, where the assets
can be bought at a discount of near-
ly 50%, also look attractive. I be-
[lieve 1941 will see very much high- |
| er prices for certain stocks.
