Wall Street Chatter
NEW YORK UPI Invest
ment advisers Thomson & Mc
Kinnon believe that, at the mo
ment, it would seem sensible to
follow a policy of study and se
lection a policy encouraged by
the nature of the number of stock
market advances against the
number of declines.
This has been an almost ruth
lessly selective market, it notes.
Certain equities of an essential
ly cyclical nature such as steel.
non-ferrous metals, paper and
chemicals seem attractive now
since they are relatively reason
able in price and should be at
the center of the anticipated up
ward movement in the economy,
the company says.
Bache & Co. says that while
the current correction appears to
have further distance to run. it
sees no reason to change its bull
ish longer term view.
Goodbody & Co. says there
'are no longer any specific re
sistance points or overhanging
areas of supply to confront the
averages on the upside.
Martin Gilbert of Van Alstyne
Noel & Co. says that "at this
point, there are no indicaions nf
any change in the upward trend
and apparently the most sensible
course is to maintain substantial
positions In the market." Gilbert
believes that tlie Dow-Jnnes in
dustrial average will continue to
give an excellent account of it
self.
