THE PROBLEM BE- comes acute during holi- days and other peak flying periods when relatively few reservations are broken and demand exceeds seating. Before most airlines bump passengers,:: they: ask: for IF VOLUNTEERING doesn't free enough seats, passengers will be denied boarding involuntarily — and will be eligible for DBC, That may not be as bad as it sounds, because DBC passengers are, in ef- fect,, given a free flight or generous discount on their fare — up to a $200 maximum and a minimum of $50, IN THE U.S., AIR- lines must arrange an al- ternate flight which must arrive at the passenger's next stopover no later than four hours after his origin- ally scheduled arrival time. If they can't make that deadline, the passenger's . compensation is doubled.

By LAURA JAMIESON - If you had a choice between $50,000 paid to you immediately or one cent doubled each day for the next 30 days, what would you take? The latter is the best choice; that little penny will have grown to over $5 mil- lion in 30 days. Such is investing, the subject discussed in a sem- _ inar at the Metropolitan Toronto Legal Secretaries Association conference. Presented by Nancy .G. Thomson, director of a course Investing For Wom- en held in co-operation with the Investment Dealers As- sociation of Canada, the seminar discussed invest- ment vehicles available to Canadian consumers. - Women are investing as never before, both in numbers and the amount of money involved. They have become such a force in the marketplace that some fi- nancial institutions have al- tered their investment pol- icies, making it possible for these with less money to learn about investments. minimum, they might work with a $1,000 minimum, for instance. “We work hard for our money and should treat it with respect and make it grow,’’ says Thomson. “Some financial experts suggest taking 10 per cent off the top of your income and setting that aside for Rather than a $5,000 - ow to investments. That will be an individual decision, but you should be thinking of _ future security and making your money work for you.” . To illustrate, she cut a © -dollar bill in half, and threw one half away, representing the taxes that are pald. She ‘then divided the remaining half into two equal parts and discarded one part as housing expenses. A re- maining quarter of the ori- ginal dollar was again sliced in two, and thrown away as living ex- penses. The remaining portion she kept as the money available for savings and investment — one-eighth of a dollar. “Start with a Sayings plan,’’ advised Thomson. “At current in- terest rates, a savings plan is good because it is at least . keeping up with inflation. Bank interest rates are , about 10 per cent on a sav- ings account. “Some experts sug- gest keeping two to four months’ salary in a savings account’ for ready money and because it keeps up with. inflation. But you don’t have to leave all your money there.”” An insurance plan wag mentioned as the second possible source of saving, although most plans have not been keeping up with inflation. “Homeowner, medi- cal, accident and life in- invest your surance are necessary to some extent. Many women have more life insurance than they need. Remember that what you could buy with a S100 bill 10 years ago, will purchase about half that aac now and in another 10 years. it will probably buy about that half again. ,A pension plan was mentioned as a third aven- living, and home ownership ‘as a fourth form of saving. Home’ ownership is con- sidered one of the best hedges against inflation be- cause it builds equity and ther is no capital gains tax when the property is sold. “A form of savings should be the first priority and an investment plan the second prudent course of action,’’ notes ‘Thomson. “The stess is on prudent — do it wisely and with pro- fessional help. ‘ “There are several reasons to have an invest- ment plan — to make money by using money, to cope with inflation and to help the economy of Can- ada.” _. “The best time to start is right now. It might seem that you don’t have enough money to get involved in a big way, but that is the magic of compound inter- est. It all adds up.” Thomson outlined the four following principles as {mportant considerations in determining what kind of investment plan is best suited to you: 1. Security. Consider the safety of the principal. If you can’t ‘afford to lose’ money, don’t take on the stock market. Instead, try Canada Savings Bonds. 2. Growth of capital. Choose an investment ve- hicle that will give a return that will keep ahead of in- flation. . 3. Liquidity. If you can't afford to tie up the money ‘in something like antiques, coins, stamps or art that will take longer to get money from, invest in savings certificates or Can- ada Savings Bonds for short. period or time or liquidity on demand. *. 4, Amount of income needed. Determine how “ much it might take for you to build up enough assets to live comfortably in future and thus how much you are Boing to have to accumulate. in an investment program. : “Knowledge will be your most important as- ‘set,’ says Thomson. “Make yourself as much of. an expert as possible and don’t just give your money over to someone else to handle. Nobody is as in- terested | in your money as you are.” The following were outlined briefly as possible sources of investment, in.a pyramid with savings ac- counts, insurance, pension hard-earned money _ and home ownership as the ‘most secure investments at, the base of the pyramid and- a decreasing degree of - security up to investment in ‘gold at the pyramid apex. (in her course, Thom- son dwells in detail on each of the investment vehicles. ‘Two seties of eight-week courses are held in winter and spring in Toronto with a $100 registration fee.) * - — Canada Savings Bonds. A very safe place for ‘investment, they are liquid at any time, have generally been keeping up with inflation as the gov- . ernment gives coupons to maintain their competitive- ness as an investment source. The best buy is compound interest bonds which accumulate divi- dends and pay interest on that. — Savings cortificntss, term deposits, Income certificates. The first two are recommended because they are for shorter terms. Three months is cur- rently the optimum time period because. interest rates are changing quently and you can take advantage of higher rates by frequently turning over term deposits and saving certificates. it and Government corporate bonds. They. usually require larger amounts of money, but are & sound investment. — RRSP’s. The Regis- tered retirement savings plan allows those in a high income bracket to put aside money now, that faxed in later years at re- tirement when they don’t - have such -high incomes. RRSPs are considered .a " good investment for every- one, and can aren't in one basket. There ‘are usually management fees involved. — Quality growth stocks (‘Blue Chips’’). _ Considered to be the safest in the stock market, they are stocks belonging 10.e.. blue chip company with time. — Silver, coins, Money is not in order to make a wise pension plans. Compound interest is again a. prefer- able element. — RHOSP»s. Register- ed home ownership savings plans, if you don’t own your own home, enable you to put aside 51,000 per year over a 20-year period with a $10,000 maximum without paying taxes. Also consid- ered a good plan, safe, and can be cashed in if you want to buy a home without paying taxes on the money. — Annuities. Highly specialized plans for high income earners or those with major profits in one year. Investment prop- erty. - Holding mortgages and buying teal cate. al generally good retu: money, but lacks the Tiquid- ity, requires more manage- ment and larger sums for investment. — Quality Investment fands. Mutual funds, re example, area good way of getting into the stock mar- ket. You buy into a com- pany that has a good record and return record for five to 10 years, and with a diversification of holdings so all your eggs good profit reputation and good divident payment. Such companies usually try not to cut dividends be- cause they want people to continue > investing in fecte They are not liquid and may take time to realize profits. - — Commodities. Foodstuffs, like pork bellies and coffee, soybeans and corn, commodities are a form of invest-. stocks. These stocks Show a faster than average growth, but don’t have the same degree of security from an established reputation. They tend to plough profits back into company growth rather than giving large dividends, but stock value can grow by leaps and bounds. ¢ Computer companies, for example, have had ag- gtessive growth stock in the past decade. So have Mc- Donald's ment. About 80 per cent of investors lose their money. — Options. Risky also. You stand to lose the soe in writing covered Not recommended for the general investor. — Gold. The highest area of risk, but might prove to be a good place to invest money as along term hedge against inflation. Prices have soared and fal- fen in recent months. There are many ways to buy gold Thomson suggests that women as consu- mers are closer to the pulse of the marketplace and ex- hibit good judgment in ag- gressive growth stocks based on their own experi- ence as consumers. Risky stocks, so don’t count on making money because they have no profit repu- tation. A good speculative stock, however, can make a lot of money and go on to become a good growth and —asa as op- tion, coins, stock in gold ‘companies. Thomson advised wo- men interested in starting a savings and investment plan to seck professional — guidance from an account- ant, a retail sales manager of an investment firm or specialized investment counsellor. Investment plans can be tailer made to suit the unique needs of each individual. Canadian
