A Sound Principle for people of moderate means who are anxious to make 5their money earn them 'El more money, is to diversify their invest ments as far as possible. In the homely, old-fashioned phrase, "don't put all your eggs into one basket." But the average individual does not know how many bonds of a given type would be best for him to purchase, or how to bal ance his investments so tfiat they will bring him the best returns. That is one very good reason why the experienced investor always seeks advice from a reputable financial institution. How much more then must the inexperi enced investor get competent advice.
