The Truth About The Stock Market

"But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many fool
ish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the lov
e of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have er
red from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou,
O man of God, flee these things..." 1st Timothy 6:9-11
Billions of Taxpayer Dollars Stolen, Paid to Wall Street Thieves
Greed - A Road to Destruction
Many people have destroyed their lives by living to make money. Notice carefull
y that the Scriptures are speaking here to "they that will be rich" (That is--th
ey are NOT rich yet). Millions of people have "pierced themselves through with
many sorrows" by trying to retire early or "get ahead" in life. In case you hav
en't figured it out yet, kindly said, the rich men who control our government an
d economy DON'T want us to prosper. I mean, when you have to pay for 3 houses j
ust to buy 1, something is dreadfully wrong!
When we have to keep paying into the social security system while being told rep
eatedly that it may NOT be there for us when we retire, something is very wrong!
When we heard of Enron retirees being cheated out of their life-savings, we de
finitely knew something was wrong (some people personally lost over a million do
llars). The most sickening part is that the politicians in Washington condoned
Enron executive's crimes by doing nothing to prosecute them. This is because En
ron made large campaign contributions to those politicians. God will judge thos
e evil people!
In light of all the corruption, government scams (like $59,000,000,000 being sto
len from the HUD program), corporate crimes, deficit spending, increased taxes a
nd so forth...I have no desire to even try to play their game anymore. I have n
o desire to "get ahead" in life. I could care less about working overtime, but
that's me. I don't live to work. I won't do it. I want to spend the time with
my wife and children. I'm not a slave to their system. I've never bought a lo
ttery ticket in my life and don't plan to start now (it's just an added tax on t
he stupid). I don't gamble at casinos and wouldn't be caught dead betting on ho
rses (why give those greedy men and women your money?).

The Stock Market is a Scam, Controlled from Within
I also avoid the stock market, it is a man-made invention designed to take away
the public's wealth, it is a scam. This has been documented (if you read beyond
the newspaper). Read the following article from Richard Ney's book titles, "Th
e Wall Street Gang" (temporarily out of print).
"The hard-hitting market critic, Richard Ney, has written three books that I kno
w of. His first, and probably most famous, is The Wall Street Jungle, written in
1970. He next wrote The Wall Street Gang, published in 1974 by Praeger Publishe
rs. Chapter 2 of the latter book opens as follows:
"It is no accident that most investors lose money in the stock market. Their
losses are an inevitable by-product of their ignorance of how little they know
about the invisible world of the Stock Exchange. Like machines dominated by exte
rnal influences, they are capable only of mechanical action.
Regrettably, the arrangements that exist to preserve the traditions and lega
lize the frauds of the security industry are inseparable from the general organi
zation of a society controlled by the financial establishment, a society whose l
aws and principal customs have been contrived to serve the special interests of
the financial community. Thus, although the Stock Exchange's most profitable pra
ctices clearly compromise the freedoms granted others by the constitution, Excha
nge Insiders are granted immunity from the legal obligations and penalties that
should be imposed on them."
In 1975, Ney published his third book, Making it in the Market: Richard Ney's L
ow risk System for Stock Market Investors."
Would You Pay $100 for a Gallon of Milk?
I have read so many website articles which speak of the stock market as a scam,
but then they proceed to tell you how you can make money by following their advi
ce (don't do it!). I studied the stock market long enough to know that it's all
a big scam.
In the first place, the whole concept of a P/E ratio (price-to-earnings ratio) i
s a joke. People are suckered into paying 20, 30, sometimes even 100 times what
a stock is actually worth. There is NO true value. People are taught by Wall
Street con men to pay outrageous prices for a stock (because someone say it's a
good deal). In reality, it's a foolish game of money swindling that has robbed
the public of trillions of dollars. If you think about it, there is basically N
O value to the stock market (If you were to take all of the thousands of stocks
on the various stock market exchanges and average their actual earnings together
, you'd find their total value to be less than 1% of what the public is actually
paying for those same stocks).
In other words, your buying NOTHING! The public is taught by the greedy people
who operate Wall Street that it is a "GOOD DEAL" to buy stocks with absolutely N
O EARNINGS. This is absurd! People foolishly buy into these lies. These greedy a
nd ungodly Wall Street crooks (especially the bankers) have created a SYSTEM of
smoke and mirrors over the years that utilize a series of economic and governmen
ts REPORTS to manipulate alleged "sentiment value" of the stock market. They al
so use any public news release available to justify a market move. I've heard e
very excuse you can imagine for the stock market going up or down (and it's very
humorous to listen to day-by-day).
Wall Street Criminals Use News Releases to Manipulate Their Victims
Wall Street said on one particular day that the stock market went down for fear
that the Iraqi Freedom war would take longer than expected. The next day they c
laimed the stock market went up because Saddam Hussein was missing (thinking he
was dead). It's utterly ridiculous to think that the public is stupid and gulli
ble enough to believe these lies...but they soak it up!!! Where do you think th
e news media gets their information on the stock market? They get their news fr
om Wall Street's crooks! The rule of Wall Street is simple: The people who cont
rol Wall Street will do whatever it takes (even a radical move if need be) to en
sure that 95% of the public losses their money. I've seen bad stocks with NO ea
rnings soar sky-high on no news at all.
I've also seen very good company stocks go south on great news. I recall recent
ly that Harley Davidson posted their best earnings ever and the stock tanked ove
r $5 in one day. Can you say scam? I remember reading the internet news on IBM
a couple years ago, the stock had jumped up like $15 in one day because of a do
zen fantastic reports released on the internet. No kidding, the next day the st
ock tanked over $10 and the news was nothing but the sky-is-falling for IBM. Wh
at had changed overnight? Nothing, not one stinking thing.
Can you say scam? Several Wall Street Investment Firms were just fined 1,400,00
0,000 for cheating people (but they made hundreds of Billions in profit, a conve
nient way for them to keep getting richer. They do this stuff on purpose, expec
ting to get caught. They could care less because they know they are making hund
reds of BILLIONS). This type of criminal behavior (where the punishment never f
its the crime) is plaguing many of our American industries. It's sickening to a
ny honest, hard-working American. People are being CHEATED on purpose, but the
victims rarely ever see a dime of the lawsuit money.
The "Herd Mentality," Running into the Slaughter House
I read another book by Richard Ney titled The Wall Street Jungle. Mr. Ney docum
ents how the stock market is a fraud, controlled by scheming con artists. He sh
ows how the stock market went up for several weeks straight, in spite of an over
abundance of bad financial news. He then documents the same process, but with
the stock market going down in spite of consistent good news. The point here is
that the news media is deliberately given bogus news by Wall Street cons to mis
lead investors.
People hear bad news and avoid the stock market, meanwhile the market is going u
p and the public is missing out. The opposite is also true, the public runs in
(with a herd mentality) to buy stocks on good news, while in reality the market
keeps progressing lower and lower. People are like ignorant sheep, it's their o
wn fault for not THINKING outside the herd. Kindly said, you MUST READ BOOKS an
d learn to THINK FOR YOURSELF.

The Stock Market Bubble Will One Day Burst . . . a Total Crash!
A day will come when money will be blowing worthless in the streets of the Unite
d States of America! Already, the U.S. dollar has lost 30% of it's worth since
the year 2000. I've already mentioned that the entire stock market is a big mir
age (something you see that is NOT really there). It a mirage of false wealth.
The big bubble could pop in one day! Gold has real value! This is why China i
s wisely buying up the world's gold supply. Gold retains it's value, stocks do
not. A commodity has real value! I can eat corn or bacon, I can't eat a stock.

Listen friend, the entire stock market is a big fictitious man-made invention of
arbitrary numbers which mean nothing if you give it even a little thought. It'
s a big scam! I have also mentioned that people are paying 20, 30 or even 100 t
imes what a stock is worth (P/E ratio). This goes against good business sense.
Sure, I know there are people like Warren Buffet who made billions on Coca-Cola
, but his father was a stock broker and Warren began investing at age 9. He was
very fortunate and he'll admit it.
However, for every Warren Buffet there are ten thousand wanna-be rich men who ha
ve ended up losing their jobs, marriages and even their lives. The stock market
makes some people lose their minds by inspiring their fears and greed. These a
re NOT wise emotions for a Christian to subject him or herself to.
People ignorantly put their money into the stock market, having no comprehension
that the stock market is controlled from within...not without. I've heard time
and time again on the early morning news such statements as, "INVESTORS decided
to take early profits this morning" or "INVESTORS decided to sell at the openin
g of the market this morning."
Do you really think there are that many people up at that time of morning placin
g stock trades? No! The "investors" they are speaking of are the "insiders" on
Wall Street who make millions upon millions of dollars a year. They each pay $
2,000,000 just to have a seat on the New York Stock exchange.

The Best Things in Life are Not Things!
The purpose of my article is simple friend...AVOID the stock market! There are
NO secrets to outsmart the greedy rich men at their rigged game (and your in fo
r a financial loss if you think you can). Oh sure, you might make some money at
first, but more than likely you'll be sorry down the road. I realize that ther
e are investments which are considered "safer" such as the S&P 500 and utility c
ompany stocks (some of which pay nice dividends). However, there is NO guarante
ed "SAFE" investment in the stock market. These would be the only two investmen
ts I'd might consider if I were going to invest in stocks, but personally I don'
t want anything to do with the stock market because of all the insider corruptio
n.
Trying to "get ahead" has ruined many families, I'm happy with what God has give
n me. As my old pastor Dr. Jack Hyles used to say, "There's two ways to be rich
: Have all you want OR want all you have." That's a good statement. I want al
l I have; therefore, I am a very rich man indeed! If you're frustrated (as a lo
t of people are), you need to learn to relax and stop letting life frustrate you
. If your burned out, sell your stocks and forget the stock market before it de
stroys you. Trust me, in time you'll thank yourself. Do you want true peace in
life? The first step is to decide to be content with what you have.
"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing i
nto this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and
raiment let us be therewith content." 1st Timothy 6:6-8
We were born empty-handed and we'll die empty-handed. You can't control everyth
ing, but you can avoid the things which may ruin your life. It's ok to work for
a living. Some people drive themselves insane trying to find a way out of work
. Your going to end up ruining your life because of your greed to make money (R
ead 1st Timothy 6:9-11 again). An extremely small amount of investors have been
lucky in the stock market, but nearly all the people who have played the stock
market have lost money (many their shirt and pants as well).
The Bible has much to say about money, mainly that we're better off without it.
Notice 1st Timothy 6:11 says "But thou, O man of God, flee these things..." Go
fishing, take your family to the park, sit out in the yard...but don't waste yo
ur life pursuing filthy lucre (and anyone who tells you that you can "be a bette
r you" if you had more money is a LIAR!). You CAN be a great person without mon
ey!
Money has ruined many people!!! The fact is that most of the people who posses
a lot of money are not very great people. You don't need money to be happy in l
ife, but you do need God.
