Investment and Speculation – A Description of the Modern Money Market and Analysis of the Factors Determining the Value of Securities by Thomas Conway

March 22, 2010

EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION

It is no part of the purpose of this volume to teach the reader how to speculate. It is hoped, on the contrary, that the book will discourage speculation by the emphasis which it places on the importance of patience, intelligence and foresight in the art of investing. In the minds of many people speculation is a very sinister word, and a speculator a man morally no better than a gambler. It is the purpose of this volume to make clear the distinction between speculation and investment, to explain and illustrate the conditions which determine a safe investment, and to describe and illustrate the hazards inherent in all forms of speculation.
