But the big Guy with one Trade can change the Price of any Stock on the Market while the Little Guy can i even get his broker on the s True the larger investors get in and Oul of a Stock much More quickly than you can but you have inc advantage while waiting of watching Louis Rukeyser on to. The Street respects the Little Guy because he does t go blindly into the Market throwing his Money hither and s because As a Little Guy i m investing in the future of America while the big Guys Are buying an Selling to make three cents on soybeans. The 1 re shoot ing craps with the country s Economy. I said you re being too harsh on the big Guys. Al they arc trying to do is create some excitement in the Market. Years ago there were a lot More Little Guys than big Guys on Wall Street. It had a sluggish Bonne Pace. The volume was pitiful and neither Dow nor Jones was anything to while Home about i enjoyed it the Little player said. But the big Guys took Over the game and suddenly the Market is now a vibrant healthy heart stopping name where billions can be made or lost in Market is no longer for weak men or women and by god when you play it today you know you pc Benin a but to can the Little investor know when to buy and sell when the Large investor is speculating at whim it s not easy. The big Guy counts heavily on Rumor any Rumor whether True or not. That s Why he i called a professional. As a Smalt investor you have to watch where the big fellow is going and follow him."1 Don t mind following him but How do 1 know when to turn Back that is what separates the professionals from the amateurs on Wall makes a professional most of them Are under 30 years of age went logwood business schools and Wear raincoats from Burberry they know much no but they have Dandy Yuppie worries me is if one of their computers makes a never make i have nothing against the big Guys playing against me on Wall Street. 1 just want o Enow what their game plan is so i won i get wiped Oul he said. I feel i m Invoker game where i have two chips and the other Guy has 20,000. What do i do now maybe you should give your two chips to the big Guys and let them shoot crap for i like to invest my own Money. It s fun to sit in the ground floor of a broker s office and watch the lighted Stock prices flashing Over my head. Besides whal gives the big Guys any More qualifications to be experts than the Little Guys for one thing they go to better restaurants Ilia you do and order finer wines. Secondly the big is rarely play with their own Money so they can be a lot older than the Little investor. And thirdly when you re tossing around billions or dollars people assume you re an How can you Tell whether a big Guy knows what heis doing you look at his portfolio and if it s gone up he is Brilliant investor and if it s gone Down he s just Mak ing a Market Congress Perks under attack by Dick West Washington although both houses of con Gress Voled against raising the pay of lawgiver he salary increase presumably became effective anyhow. Still pending however is a Bill to broaden their parking privileges in the District of Columbia. The pay Wise proposed in president Reagan s new budget presumably became effective because the House voted against it a few hours too goodness the Resolution gave other Public servants a pay boost As Well. Otherwise in the Case ofic Federal judiciary we might have been treated to continuation of the spectacle of Lawyre making More Money then judges. It remains to be seen whether out senators and representatives will be equally self sacrificing with respect to parking legislation offered by the District s non Vot ing Delegate. Waller Fauntroy. Fauntroy introduced the measure while the capita was still recovering from two snowstorms that dumped up to 14 inches on the snowfall which unfortunately covered Capitol Hill As Well As the rest of the City May have pointed up the need for looser parking restrictions. Other motorists stalled in traffic need 10 encounter the Auto of a congressman snowbound but ticket less in a no parking zone making driving conditions they could get behind Fauntroy s Bill to lid restrictions on congressmen with resp it to Rush hour parking building entrances and other no parking about pressure if senators and House Mem Bers in the face of administration efforts vote against Reagan s move to raise their annual base pay from the old Levy of $77,400 to the new 189,500, Youcan imagine the president s reaction if they started turning Down Perks As no mistake about it. Fauntroy s measure clearly comes under the heading of perquisites. Al present members of Congress and certain of their aides can Park free at such places As the Capitol an airports. They still would not be allowed to Park in the District s fire or loading zones. But the proposal definitely makes it easier to find a place to put the car when the want to Stop at some spot for a Quick one before head ing rest of us would continue to ask fines wheel boots or towing if we parked in a restricted Congress Luis its Back on Fauntroy the next thing we know members will be repealing the provision that allows representatives to keep 30 percent and senators 40 percent of the fees also known As Honor aria they receive for speaking or writing. Should that happen there surely would be internal attacks on other congressional Perks we. Want our Law givers to have such As travel and mail could blame the president confronted by such provocations with feeling a.
