an if for CARLING PILSENER BEER Vol 8 No 71 Control Board or by tho Covirnmmt of Brilllh AN EDITORIAL Toronto stock racket Once again rackets are underway on the Toronto Stock Exchange Companies with very small material assets and many without assets of any kind are changing hands at valuations of hundreds of thousands of dollars because they have listings on the Toronto Stock Exchange The formula of the promoters is to buy control of one of these companies and then acquire some kind of mining prospect It is then that the boiler shop operators go to work Hundreds of thousands of shares have been traded in a matter of days frequently the equiva equivalent � lent of more than the entire capitalization of the company Some of these shares that have been acquired by the promoters at 4c or 5c per share in a short time frequently are traded at 500 to 1000 more than the price they were acquired by the pro promoters � moters The Toronto Stock Exchange does not appear concerned as long as they have members who are interested in this type of business The Ontario Securities Commission should put a stop to these practices and insist upon a complete overhaul of the Toronto Stock Exchange methods In the meantime investors should be wary of buying any of these high volume trading stocks no matter what glowing reports are broad broadcast � cast The promoters are not inexperienced in sell selling � ing such wares In fairness we should say that the executive officers of the Toronto Stock Exchange are more gullible than dishonest The president is an ex army officer who has as far as can be ascertained no qualifications what whatsoever � soever for the position he holds Most of his assist assistants � ants appear to be within the same category Air dispute THE WORLD The Indian
