THE KEY VOL 84 NO 4 WINTER 1967.Pdf

OF KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA WINTER 1967 N O W LET9S TAKE STOCK COLLEGIATir'S QUALITY INTERESTS CO. Sto~k Portfolio Revien' An advisory bulletin Dear K. K. G.: You write that you are considering the following holdings: General Chaos Panic Craft Kappa Industries La Trivia Broadcasting Bell Voca-line Tempus Fugit Associates Guff Oils Notone Controls Hi-Pressures Mfg. My findin gs indicate that this stock list is too highly speculative and is not balanced with any Blue Chips with the exception of Kappa Industries. I would recommend, instead, that you build your portfolio around stocks better able to withstand the pressures of today's market. Although many of the above (especially General Chaos, Bell Voca-line, GufJ Oils, and Notone Controls) have been going up, their earnings are down, and they are due for a bad dedine at the end of the current quarter. My recommendations are: Hold Kappa Industries, but balance your holdings with: Think, Inc. Oriented Concentrates Multi Resources Lerner Research Applied Data Processing Consolidated Action Audio-Tone Control Time-trol Super-cope Corp. Value Consumers It is important to point out that your continued holding of your very important Blue Chip stock in Kappa Industries will be nicely balanced by the acquisition of Consolidated A ction. I would advise, however, di scriminate purchase of the latter, for you will want to have enough resources left to make the other investments mentioned. If, as it is rumored, Think, In c. and Applied Data Processing merge, these investments are due for tremendous growth, and commensurate appreciation in value. Multi R esources is on the verge of some new di scoveries which, if realized, promise un limited rewards, and an almost positive assurance of ability to keep pace with any new de velopments. My recommendation to replace Notone Controls with Audio-Tone Control is based on Audio Tone's superior performance and better management. Speaking of excellent manage ment, Super-cope Corp. has shown absolutely phenomenal gains over Panic Craft. All experts agree that these are the result of performance on the executive level. GufJ Oils' reports are suffering from a credibility gap and their reserves are dangerously low. Value Consumers has proved to be a much more sound investment. Oriented Concentrates, Lern er R esearch are out-performing La Trivia Broadcasting and Tempus Fugit Associates and are marvelous investments for long term gains. Last, but by no means, least, Time-trol has discovered a process that has proved to be much more effective in dealing with pressures th an the out-dated methods used by Hi Pressures. Good Luck!!
