Look at the form below. You will hear a man calling for James Clark. Fo

M: Hello, is that Paper Stock Service? It’s Moss Green.
J: Yes, hi, Mr. Green. I’m so glad you called. This is James Clark.
M: Hi, James. It’s about my capital plan. We talked about it last week.
J: Oh, yes, what’s the problem?
M: I have got 2 million dollars. What can I do with it?
J: I see. You’ve got 2 million, and that is quite a number. And your aim is a high income?
M: And the capital growth. I was thinking of buying and selling on the currency market. That’s how my father made his money.
J: Whoa! That’s highly speculative and pretty dangerous. Anyway, times have changed. Two million is a peanut in the stock market nowadays. Even on the foreign exchange market, it’s frankly not a lot of money, but I think we can make it work for you..
M: Every day I read economic column in the newspaper. I think at the moment the market is bullshit.
J: Well, it’s true that the composite stock index has been rising this week, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the big investors think it will go on rising. Warren Buffett has just sold his Petro China. Anyway, I would strongly advise you not go playing the market. Leave that to the big financial institutions--- insurance companies, pension funds, the building societies --- they have got experts.
M: I just want a good return on my investment.
J: Portfolio of investments sounds delightful. The whole point of investment is to spread the risk. I will show you my recommendation some other day.
