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 .
