For aTO* *PPlled discussion of stocks, although still generalized.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON BONDS
In the receding letters It has been suggested that commoditise
and stocks ar rise with the progress of inflation.
A comm notion Is that bond prices fall as commodities and stocks
rise This isiot generally true.
During he Civil war bond prices rase during the entire period
of the war, si fell along with commodities and ttocka after the war.
In the riod between 1896 and 1901-02, commodities rose 25% and
at the same tie bonds rose 10%.
In the iriod between 1914 and 1918, commodities rose 40% while
bonds held upuid in fact gained between 2% and 3%.
Perspecre on bonds, using the Standard Statistics index of 60
corporate bon:
Index inow 88. It has risen from in average of 69 in 1933. the
low point onn annual average basis. Previously, in 1931, the index
was 96; In 19 was 96; In 1927 was 99; in 1920 was 81.
Index in pec ted to rise to 106 again in 1936.
Later, fiber rise to a new peak, perhaps 104 or 106, according
to our compos estimates.
When, w high peak? Calculations are based partly on history
of past perfoanres during tunes like these times of rapid credit ex
pansion and «y money rates. The record of 1898 to 1901-02. above. Wtl
suggestive of t present. Forces which worked then are working now7
The experlentof these periods, plus recognition of other factors now
operating, sugu that—
New pe; should be reached in 1937 or 1938 or 1939. It la impos
sible to be anjiore specific as to time In the future.
GOOD BONDS ALWAYS DESIRABLE
Factors ilch rapport bonds: A great portion of the country's
savings (bondtoney) is in the custody of insurance companies and
savings banks These Institutions are required by law to Invest large
ly In bonds -iterest paying bonds. And the funds in the hands at
these institute are growing rapidly, promising to grow further. The
dearth of newmd issues, the low rate on government bonds, and va
rious other face make for avid demand for good bonds.
Weak p« of the future: Eventually, when business geU to the
boom stage, sas and enterprisers will find new use for their savings,
will want to vsure more, then banka and others will begin buying
fewer bonds, wtell some of their bonds, and a gradual downturn in
the bond markwlll start. Such a downturn usually precedes a down
turn of the geal business trend by about 6 to IS months.
Dollar v« of bonds vs. purchasing power of tho dollar*!
The thing to cember la that the purchasing power of money repre
sented by bondicllnes during a period of rising commodity prices and
rising costs of ng. You probably can get as many or more dollars
from your bomb 1938 as now. But these dollars will buy less; it may
take 1% bonds juy what you could now buy for one bond.
Thus, coier relative values, not dollar quotations only.
