eomiic; vessiou of ( ongress; and It will surely he made retro-
active to January l, 1964. The tax cut should help consumer
buying; il may even, increase general business.
4. C1VII. RKiffTS. SotiH- sort of a civil-rights hill will V
passed by‘Congress during 1964. The Administration wants to
please the south and hold Its Denuicratle votes there, but the
elvll-rights hill now before Congress Is not satisfactory to the
white |»i'opie of the .North. Therefore, I forecast that whatever
civil-rights hill is passed Vfiw the elccHon of 1964 will be con-
siderably watered down. c.
i. NfiGRO PKOPLE. The Negroes will continue to make
progress and gel more, hut I predict that the gains will have
in* come largely through changing attitudes of the people.
Otherwise, the situation will be much like the prohibition prob-
lem which the good people of the nation thought could he solved
by hglslation. Such reforms take place only as tl«‘ minds and
hearts of the people are changed for the belter.
«. GOVERNMENT SPFNIHM.. Of course, in tV long run.
the survival of a nation should depend upon its spending less than
it takes in. Nowadays, however. It is unfashionable — far
consumers or government - to have balanced budgets.
Therefore, I predict that 1961 will see a bigger deficit than this
year’s.
7. DEPRESSION. Whether for better or for worse, the voters
have been taught to Iwlleve they can aad should get something

9. DOW JOYES fNDt'STRI.U-S. | foreeast that the stork
market Is nieasureti by the Dow-Jones Average will make a
new high in 1964, hut may sell lower after the elections. How-
es er, readers must remember that the Dow Jonrw Industrial
list, which everyone seems to think repre«entx the market, may
he very, deceptive.
19. SPECULATIVE STOCKS, Of the ippmxlmateiy 15M stocks
listed .m the New Vork Slock Exchange, a majority have been
xoing down while the Dow-Jones list of .36 which everyone watches
have been going up. This Is due to the purchase of Dow-Jones
Issues today largely by trustees, pension funds, mutual caoi-
IHinies. and others that prefer fairly coos**native and dividend
l*ylng companies. I forecast that stocks not in the Dow-fonew
list will do better proporrionately in 1964 thun they did this year.
11. SWITCHING. Based on my above forecast, and having :
learned that only buying can send stocks up. I predirt that 1964 *-
may prove to h*- a good year to switch from some of the over-
crowded Dow-Jones slocks into other Issues that are now over-
looked. *' :.',,'^Litsar-* :* ■■Is-*-. ,, -V
13. GOVERNMENT BONDS. The only governmeat bonds that ^
interest me are the long term ones which may now he purchased
at a discount to use in payment It par for death taxes. I lorreanL
that more governmenU will he Lssued during 1164 and that their
prices may gradually sag as money becomes tighter,
13. CORPORATION BONDS. Thosr buying corporate bonds
should either stick to l«*nes of under five yenrs’ maturity or
keep their money in the savings bank. I predict, that long term
corporation bonds will drop In price In 1964 as interesl rates rise.
I 14- TAX EXEMPT BONDS. Likewise, 1 predict that long term -
tax-exempt bonds will decline next year. They are even more
overpriced than corporation bonds, because of heavy bank buying
during the past two y ears. |. do not look for this to he repented
in 1964. Therefore, I would certainly confine buying of tax-
exempt* to short maturities; and I would avoid revenue bonds.
15 tVTfTjIXT RATER. I forecast that Interest rate* will
continue at least a* high a* today, and will possibly rise through .*
1964 in order to keep gold here In this country and uphold tht*
value of the dollar. . -
16. DEVALUATION OF GOLD. I forecast that there trill he
no devaluation of gold during 1964. 1 am pereaMRy
with conditions In Africa, arid will say that those who wish
speculale In gold mines should conrider American South
Investment Co. Ltd. Renders should remenAer, however,
