Successful investing by David R Sargent
A novice investor should time entry near a two year market low and hold profitable positions. Saxon Industries offers 90 percent profit but shows erratic earnings and debt risk. Athlone Republic Terra and Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting shape a mixed picture with weak demand in stainless steel and a bright long term outlook for Terra due to low cost production and gas contracts. Anheuser-Busch is poised for market share growth and new sugar substitute production, with 1980 earnings projected around $1.90 per share.
