Chapter summary
This chapter examines Investing In Mortgage Bonds, using the author’s early-twentieth-century investment framework to explain how investors were expected to judge security quality, income, risk, and market conditions. It opens from the chapter’s own discussion: There are now a number of companies formed to purchase first mortgages on new buildings, apartments, etc., and resell them to the small investor for a series of payments. They specialize on first mortgage bonds.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter as historical investment education. The market rules, disclosure practices, securities, commissions, interest-rate conditions, and investor protections around saving, Investing, Mortgage may differ sharply from modern markets.
