Financial analysis programs on super computers are attempting to predict which of these two views will prevail in the markets around the world every minute of every day.&#160; It\u2019s like watching a herd of antelope running in one direction and then suddenly one in the herd detects danger and moves the whole herd toward a new destination.<\/p>\n<p>When faced with an unknown event, our two year old granddaughter looks to mommy or daddy for safety.&#160; If they project confidence, the child is comforted.&#160; If they look uncertain, she begins to fret.&#160; Investors are looking for someone who is truly confident of the future\u2026 and they are not finding that person.<\/p>\n<p>Those in power of the money supply are like a child with a new chemistry set.&#160; There are experiments that will prove to be successful but the ingredients for those are already used up.&#160; Now the child still needs to see some results so he begins to mix chemicals without knowing the consequences of his actions.&#160; Adding hydrochloric acid to water is relatively safe, adding water to hydrochloric acid may produce a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>The universe is constantly expanding and the sun contains an abundance of energy beyond this planet\u2019s greatest need.&#160; However, we do not have the knowledge or infrastructure to take advantage of this abundance.&#160; Our petrochemical infrastructure has peaked and will use up more of our resources to maintain our current paradigm.&#160; This will increase uncertainty and curtail expansion of the economy.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Reserve continues to shrink the middle class by bailing out those who failed to maintain prudent investing and borrowing practices.&#160; Near zero savings rates are designed to extract wealth from savers and give it to the financial institutions so that they can improve their balance sheets.&#160; This policy forces savers to seek a return on investment in riskier instruments in hope of stable income.&#160; This spells disaster for that middle class person who spent their entire life saving for retirement only to watch it confiscated by low rates and\/or risky investments.&#160; What a travesty!<\/p>\n<p>What does one do in this environment?&#160; Turn to Our Heavenly Father.&#160; One Word from HIM produces all the confidence you need to pursue a direction.&#160; Fear, uncertainty, and doubt melt away as HIS Word goes forth.&#160; Why?&#160; We know HIS Word originates out of Love for HIS children whereas politicians tend toward self interest at the expense of the populous and our long-term interests.<\/p>\n<p>Where is the best place to invest?&#160; In those areas sanctioned by Our Heavenly Father.&#160; If you are in business, invest in your calling.&#160; If you are in a ministry, invest in your calling.&#160; If you are in neither, invest in a calling that is producing good fruit.&#160; Either way, lay up your treasures in Heaven where there is no corruption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the world of Economics these opposing forces are observed and analyzed on a moment by moment basis.&#160;
