Invest, Invest, Invest! by E. C. Moanee
Invest, invest, invest! That’ s what everybody is doing, and if you aren’ t, you’ re falling behind. To put it frankly, the stock market is the best thing that happened to the American economy since the invention of the telegraph, and you’ d be a fool not to take advantage of it. You want some Ford stock? Buy it. You want a piece of US Steel? Buy it. Don’ t need a piece of US Steel? Buy it anyway. Even if you don’ t have enough money, you can pay for part of the stock now and part of it later. It’ s that easy! The market’ s booming right now, get in before it’ s too late.
Now, for all you enterprising entrepreneurs out there who already poured their savings into stocks( a very wise move, I might add), you may have a question. With all my money in the stock market, how do I buy that new Ford I want, or how do I buy that house? Simple. Buy it on credit. Buy the car on credit, buy the house on credit, heck, buy a second house on credit! You won’ t regret it. Credit is a way for you to get what you want, whenever you want it, regardless of financial status. Don’ t worry about the money, you can always pay that back later. What matters is you get what you need when you need it. Credit is the new way of buying. As Mr. Ford himself said,“ Every American home should have two” of his cars, and the only way to do that is to buy it on credit.
In conclusion, my fellow Americans, if you can buy a stock, buy it. If you can’ t afford it, buy it on margin. These stocks are rising and are showing no sign of stopping, and are bound to make you fortune very quickly. Now, for those cars and expensive items you need, use credit. Buy now, pay later, that’ s the motto of this great age in the American economy, and it’ s one you should be following.
