Chapter summary
This chapter examines XVII. Its Greatest Vindication—1917, 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: ITS GREATEST VINDICATION 1917 IF there had not been a bear market in stocks in the year 1917 it is probable that this series of discussions would never have been prepared.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter as historical investment education. The market rules, disclosure practices, securities, commissions, interest-rate conditions, and investor protections around Dow Theory, war profits, watered labor may differ sharply from modern markets.
