President Roosevelt triggers London stock boom in South American bonds
A London stockbroker warns Roosevelt’s Santo Domingo policy could spark a gambling craze in South American securities. He notes bonds have doubled in price on bets the US will force repayment across the region, predicting eventual losses for British investors and calling the move a dangerous precedent. He argues the idea may inflate worthless bonds while risking grave financial harm. The broker doubts Roosevelt intends full debt collection but warns of a market bubble.
