Three children, White Mi Are you planning to invest in stocks or bonds? Then you may be thinking about your first trip to a broker's office. Many people don't know what to expect And a good deal of what they do expect often turns out to be fiction.

Check yourself on these key points: Fiction: Brokers aren't interested unless you've got lots of money. Fact: A great number of investors, especially beginners, are small investors. So don't let that bother you. Fiction: Brokers want you to plunge for all you've got Fact: Not so. A good broker does not want you to get in oyer your head.

The best way he can keep you as a customer is to put your interest first Before you invest, allow for liv ing expenses and emergencies, then tell him how much you can consider to start your program. Perhaps you'll prefer to invest systematically on a budget The Monthly Investment Plan of Member Firms of the New York Stock Exchange permits you to invest with as little as $40 every three months. Fiction Brokers have a few pet stocks they want you to buy. Fact A good broker will be glad to suggest stocks he thinks will fit your personal goals. Some people seek extra income through dividends.

Others set a goal of long-range growth in the value of their stock. Still others aim for some combination of the two. And some prefer the greater safety of principal and stability of income which some bonds Fiction: Brokers just play their hunches. Fact: Facts, not hunches, should be the basis of a sensible recommendation. Nobody can know all the facts, and no one can tell how a company will fare.

There are always risks in investment Prices go up and down. But your broker expects you to want to know about a company's past performance-sales, profits, dividend record. And, after considering many factors, you can decide what the company's prospects appear to be. Fiction: All-brokers are alike. -1 Fact: Far from it.
