EDITORIALS 13,500,000 Stockholders It is I'.stimatt'd that t he number of in dividuals who now own .stock in the United States has climbed past the 13,500,000 mark. If this is an accurate estimate, then the number of stockholders has doubled in the last eight years.' It has increased by fifty percent since 1956, and it is esti mated further stockholders have in creased bv 1,000,000 since January 1st, 11)55). Also, it is said that the stock purchas er today is relatively young and that he is buying for the future. Most of the buy ers of stocks in recent months have been younger people the majority in their thirties. Some husband-and-wife teams buy together, and many younger than thir ty years old are buying stocks. This indicates that stocks are being bought more and more as a hedge against inflation, and as a long-term investment in the future of the country than as a .speculative move. The buying of stocks in this trend is encouraging, since it reflects a confidence in the future of the United States and long -term financing, based on the belief that the country's economy will expand and grow. Certainly the growing number of stockholders in our country is a healthy in dication of the success of the free enter prise system, where so many own a little part of the big corporations which were once owned by so few.
