Rules for InvestorsN. Y. At. Gen. Nathaniel L. Goldsteins seven rules for investors approached by salesmenMake sure you are dealing with a responsible house. Avoid glib telephone salesmen whom you have never met personally.If you do not know the man or his company, demand references and investigate. Do not be a victim of the one call system. Take your time when strangers try to sell you securities. If the salesman makes any statements over the phone, ask him to confirm in writing. If he does so, save the letter and the stamped envelope.Take any prophecy of a future run up in the stock as a warning that something is wrong. No honest broker, dealer or investment adviser claims to be a fortuneteller.Get reputable advice on the prospects of the concern in which you are asked to invest.If you are asked to sign anything, remember that the oral statements of the salesman, if not included in the document, are not binding.Insist on having a witness present when the salesman is making a sales pitch, for the swindler always insists on talking to prospects alone.Dont buy securities in a hurry, yielding to a highpressure approach.
