be willing to spend your money for an 
imperfect jewel, and content your

small one, and won't show much any¬ 
way”? You might ease your mind by 
such a statement if you had bought an 
imperfect stone unknowingly, but not

just as efficient in proportion to its size, 
as a large one, if built right. 
The man who goes carefully into 
every detail of his $10,000 investment, 
and passes slightingly over several 
$1,000 items, is hardly what would be 
called a “consistent investor.”
