OPECULATION & INVESTMENT JN STOCKS AND SHARES •^ yiTH A MINIMUM RISK "pO operate on the Stock Exchange profitablyor , in other words , increase one ' s capital , limited though it be , may suggest itself as not very easy of accomplishment . Quick perception , however , tempered with experience and a true knowledge of the influences in force , will , in many cases , render the process comparatively simple . To purchase a stock or security of any description mi g ht not always prove judicious and safe , even were the position and prospects in the particular case the most sound and promising , because an immediate improvement , or , indeed , the maintenance of the prevalent market value would be improbable , if not impossible , so long as the account remained a weak one , or one showing a heavy preponderance of weak operations forthe rise . In like manner a stock might be intrinsically worth little or absolutely nothing , but from the fact of it having been largely oversold the price remains apparently firm .
