The stock market plays a
very important role in our
capitalistic system. It gives
everyone in the country an
equal opportunity to own
a portion of the nations'
businesses, and there are
millions of people just like
yourself that do have such
ownership.
There are, however, some
guidelines that need to be
considered before invest
ing in the stockmarket.
These guidelines will help
keep you solvent
1. Never use savings dot
lars to invest in the mar
ket.
2. Be sure all other needs
are met. hedged, or cov-
ered by savings.
3. Be sure house payments,
car payments, medical
expenses and all other
necessary family items
are covered by savings
for at least 3 months.
4. If you have all of the
above items covered,
then, and only then are
you ready for the stock
market.
We want you to know
