Omitted, it is a rehash, and God knows we already have enough of those when it comes to Cream.

To me. ami I'm sure many others, he is un excellent musician, that's sill; Hut, a musician who can lake me anywhere at will with his I'm sure vou get my point by now. The "History" album is a bit pretentious in that it, by it's very nature, places Clapton up as. the rock star-god -oh wow. it's Kric Clapton, figure.

I mean really, "HISTORY 01' lilllC CLAPTON" all that title needs is a few chariots under it and it will be ready for the credits in "lien Ignore thai, if you can. and, i the fact thai your favorite Clapton lunc has been left off. because it probably has. Instead, plop down in a rnom lighted by only a candle and get into (as they say) the music. Play the game along with the producer of the record, it really isn't that bad of a trip, really.

How much of her bonds may she cash in any one year without becoming subject to income tax? A. She may exchange all her or II bonds on one day iind still need not pay any income taxes on the past interest accrued on the bonds. The lotal current value of the bon- unreduced by taxes will thus be earning interest in II bonds. The tax liability can be deferred until such lime as she cashes in the I I bonds. Q.

1 am 50, single, wilh $50.000 lo invest. How? A. At 50, the emphasis should be on capital gain and inflation protection. That means common shares or debentures or convertible into common. You should begin, now, to acquire sound commons (or mutuals).

Just because "you've now decided cash is not enough does not mean the entire $50.000 should be put into stocks on one day. Q. Please give me your opinion of International and Mining warrants. A. In the first place.

I've never heard of eilherone. Second even if 1 did know them there is no way for me to get my opinion back lo you since you included no stamped, self-addressed envelope. I cannot mention these wild speculations in a newspaper column because: unscrupulous brokers have used such a mention for touting the stock and. furthermore, the fact thai you paid 16 a share and it is currently selling at 3 may lead some i i a readers lo believe il is now a "bargain." Sorry. Q.

I have five $25 face value bonds bought several years ago. Should I convert to II bonds? I'm elderly, need income. A. 1 estimate your bonds are worth about $160. 11 bonds are issued in $500 minimum amounts.

So you can't make the switch. 1 think this money should go into a savings account deposit. Q. I retired nn small income. My problem is 100 shares of an electronic company 1 bought some time ago at It is now $15.1 hate 16 lose that much by selling out.

Bui it pays no dividend, A. Ihc fact is you've already tost the money. You nowhavcSl.500 invested for no return in a company which has been showing deficits. It's time for a change toanincome situation. CJ.
