The article notes a sharp drop in industrial stocks last week, bringing levels to a new low not seen since May and a probable end to the downward swing. It cites a 14 point average decline from the Jan high to last week, suggesting a rally may occur before the broader trend resumes. It adds that the railroad group shows similar price movements in the same period.
The article argues that rail and industrial stocks face a downturn from last year but anticipate a secondary upswing in coming months. It highlights railroads regaining private operation with regulated rates and rising efficiency, while industrials may see large profits as stocks trade below asset values.
The Boston Post outlines its policy for answering reader inquiries on listed and unlisted stocks in New England, stressing impartiality and no market forecasts. It notes Sinclair Oil and American Can declines tied to broader oil stock trends, and Willys-Overland’s weak market performance despite a rugged motor sector.
Fr. A. Lawrence seeks guidance on selling margin holdings in Sinclair, American Can, and Willys-Overland after a recent downturn. The response notes the recent decline in Sinclair and asks about anticipated recovery and whether to cover margin calls or cut losses.
The response declines to forecast security trends or give buy or sell advice. It notes Maxwell Motors is off about 35 points from its 1919 high after merger delays with Chalmers, with partial production data and unresolved earnings for last year. It emphasizes firms cannot advise on margin risks or future prices.
