Worthless Stocks Might Hold Hidden Value and Paybacks
Babson advises readers not to discard old stock certificates found at home. He recounts a broker who bought many worthless certificates yet uncovered that one in fifty could be worth up to $1,000 due to dissolutions or consolidations. He urges checking with a broker, tracing old mining firms, and updating company records if moved. He warns against rushing to sell defaulted bonds, noting some recover to par after patient investment.
