Huron Expositor, 2007-03-14, Page 24News DeJong recognized by Women Today of Huron Susan Hundertmark Because she grew up with her grandfather living in her house; Mary DeJong says she's always enjoyed looking after elderly people. Honoured recently by Women Today's Women of Distinction awards, celebrating International Women's Day on March 8, DeJong was one of 12 Huron County women to be nominated by their peers and families for their contributions in the commmunity. "I don't do anything more than anyone else. In facts others do more," she says of the award. But, DeJong admits she does "a fair amount" of community work "because I like doing it." As a retired nurse who worked over 40 years both in the obstetrics department and with the elderly at Clinton Public Hospital, DeJong also volunteers with Town and Country Homemakers, the Alzheimer Society, Huron Hospice, the St. James Catholic Women's League and the Legion Auxiliary in Seaforth. She also visits residents at the Seaforth Manor and the sick and shut-ins associated with the Seaforth Legion. "My grandfather had dementia when I was a child and we had to look after him. I liked staying with him," she says. DeJong takes gifts to elderly Legion mem- bers at Christmas and during their birthdays. "I've always enjoyed older people. I like their stories and I enjoy making them laugh. It's a pleasure for me to make sure they're okay," she says. "I'll try to have a joke or sing a song. I'm not a singer really but they seem to enjoy it," says DeJong.

In our previous articles we touched on topics like our professional investment process and our unique approach to investing in mutual funds. Today we would like to briefly share some of our thoughts on investing in traditional common shares. Investing in common shares can take many forms. For example, many of our clients hold positions in blue-chip companies that have multi -billion dollar market capitalizations. Alternatively, on a nearly daily basis we receive phone calls from people inquiring about the future prospects for small companies and penny stocks. Whether investing in large -cap blue-chip companies or speculating on small -caps the most important consideration for any investor is the level of risk that they are taking with their hard-earned investment dollars. Quite often investors only focus on the potential returns of the companies that they are interested in. To focus solely on returns without considering risk is a hazardous mistake. What you con expect from Gary Bean Securities is an evaluation of both the risk characteristics and return potential of any common share that you are investing in. Helping us complete this type of examination is one of our greatest assets - the disciplined CPMS analysis program. This program historically only used by very large institutional asset managers and mutual funds is now a part of the research facilities at Gary Bean Securities. CPMS has an outstanding 20 year track record of sorting the good from the bad in the common share market. We add a sophisticated tool like this to our research program for one reason only, to try and help our clients make money. To review what we have recommended in the past, please feel welcome to stop by or call our offices to receive copies of our published materials covering different stock selections. We publish our recommendations so that we have a credible record down the road and in turn you can reliably track our past endorsements.
