Stocks and Precious Metals Charts - What Then Are We To Do? - The Wash and Rinse Continues

"The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his commandments. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.  But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him.  This is the way we may know that we are in union with him: whoever claims to abide in him ought to live as he lived.

Beloved, I am writing no new commandment to you but an old commandment that you had from the beginning.  The old commandment is the word that you have heard.  And yet I do write a new commandment to you, which holds true in him and among you, for the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness.  Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause a fall.  Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks in darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes."

1 John 2:3-11

‘Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord', will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only one who does the will of my Father in heaven.  On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and accomplish great things in your name?'  Then I will declare to them, ''I do not know you.  Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.'”

Matthew 7:21-23

"Be not deceived— God is not mocked.   Whatever a man sows, so shall he reap."

Galatians 6:7

"The blessed John the Evangelist lived in Ephesus until extreme old age. His disciples could barely carry him to church and he could not muster the voice to speak many words. During individual gatherings he usually said nothing but, 'Little children, love one another.'

The disciples and brothers in attendance, annoyed because they always heard the same words, finally said, 'Teacher, why do you always say this?' He replied with a line worthy of John: 'Because it is the Lord's commandment, and if it alone is kept, it is sufficient.'"

Jerome, Commentary on Galatians, 4th century


Financial people and economic ideas come and go, but the wash and rinse endures. 

Stocks rallied hard taking back yesterday's losses and then some.

Gold and silver rebounded as well.

The Dollar dropped.

Trading is light.

The transfer of wealth continues, the skim on the vitality of the nation.

The proxy wars between the principalities and powers continue.

Need little, want less, love more.  For those who abide in love abide in God, and God in them.

In the end, that is all that really matters.

Have a pleasant evening.
