A kind of financial advice book, this guide to investing, according to a review in The Economic Journal of 1937, promotes speculative investing in the hopes of making great gains. The review praises the book's continuation of the homespun wisdom that 'Securitas' provides in his columns, and cautions that while the optimism about financial gains might make inexperienced investors lose money, the reviewer hopes that 'he and his followers will continue to score bull's eyes.'
