    Phil – "Sorry if this has "nothing to do with the markets" but it has to do with life on Earth."

    There are days when I just want to grab you by the nap of your neck… and lay a big ol smooch on your forehead. Brilliant AM rant, you are correct, and yet, it has everything to do with the markets….

    Seek margin in video games, or cars, or stereos or durable manufacturing, etc. or by starting or investing in a business that produces tangible product or services, NOT R.E. or financial instruments tied to the necessities of life.

    The money shufflers in the Temple Market of Jerusalem profited greatly from the exchange rates that they charged worshipers for shekels to pay the priests, and then from the priests to convert it back into Roman money. In effect, they were "double ending" every deal; and they also profited exorbitantly from 300% loans that they made.

    In this prophets only recorded act of violence, he flipped over the tables and destroyed the marketplace in the temple, and he would not allow any one to carry anything through the temple. And he taught, and said to them…

    "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."

    Who is Yeshua bar Joseph, and have we learned NOTHING in the 2000 years since?  Greed is good? Greed turns people, their mercantile, economic, social and political institutions into monstrosities capable of perpetrating infinite evils against those whom they purport to serve.  To serve Man, comes to mind and Out.
