Bought 400: at 121 1/2- sold at 121 1/2- even----$.........

Less commissions and taxes.........................$ 650.00

Net profit............. ;$97,045.00

New operating capital..$121,145.00

1500 short: at 121 1/2

We can now be very conservative and increase trading to 2000 shares and should we have ten consecutive losses of three points each, we would still have half our capital left to operate with, and ten consecutive losses are highly improbable.

(We are going to bypass the years 1917 through 1927, as those years are a repetition of what has been written, so far. Starting 1928, the operating capital stood at $1,634,177.50.)

In the earliest part of July, the stock crosses 194, the highest in history, and not having broken an overnight bottom since the low of 162 1/2 shows strong up trend. As we have 30 points

Crofit in the first purchase at 165 1/2, we start a new pyramid and uy 2000 more at 195 1/2. Buy 1000 at 200 1/2. July llth, low 197 1/2. We raise stop on all purchases to 196 1/2. The advance continues, and we buy 1000 more at 205 1/2. July 20th and 24th high 209 3/4 and 210. July 22nd, 24th and 29th made lows at 204 1/2. We raise stops on all trades to 203 1/2. Stops were not caught. We buy 500 more at 210 1/2, 300 at 215 1/2, 200 at 220 1/2, and 100 at 225 1/2, August 9th, the last low was 213 1/2, We raise stops on all trades to 212 1/2. The



advance continues with no change in trend on the Overnight Chart. August 14th, high 245. August 15th, low 235 5/8. We raise stop on all trades to 234 5/8. August 19th, low 237 5/8. We raise all stops to 236 5/8.

The rule to follow when you have big profits on a double pyramid is, do no guessing; wait until the Overnight Chart closes your trades by catching a stop one point under a previous low or follow up with a stop 10 points under each days high level. This rule is to be applied only in active fast markets. For example, from August 14th high to August 15th low there was deoline of 9 3/8 points. Therefore, 10 points from the next extreme high level would indicate that the trend was getting ready to turn down.

August 24th, high 260 1/2. August 29th, low 251 1/2, just 9 points decline, and would not catch a 10 point stop. We raise all stops to 250 1/2. September 3rd, high 261 3/4, and a stop 10 points down would be 251 3/4. We sell out all long stock at 251 3/4.
