Where Your Treasure Lies: Biblical Wisdom for Peaceful Investing

  Where Your Treasure Lies: Biblical Wisdom for Peaceful Investing Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."                              I remember the first time I was offered an investment from another person. It seemed so great. You can probably guess my frontal lobe wasn't fully developed so it was the best idea I had heard. I made some smaller investments prior with Vanguard Funds, but let's just say they did not make me any money. Again, terrible decision making. After I started investing in the "best investment ever", I quickly learned that it was costing me more money without making but some money. Almost the opposite of what a mortgage is! That investment turned out to be Premium Life Insurance... Do I need to say more? We have all been given the Opus Mutiny that Premium Life Insurance brings great wealth upon retirement, or that it is a great way to have ...

Book Of The Week: The Richest Man In Babylon.

     Book Of The Week:  The Richest Man In Babylon.                              Personal finance. Important. Personal wealth. Important. Not starving. Also important. For this weeks book of the week, I chose the first true personal finance book I ever read. The Richest Man In Babylon by George Samuel Clason. This book is a true classic, and has been read some two million times. More than likely on the three million side at this point. It has some 36,000 reviews on Amazon, and can be found at most book shops. This is a book about personal wealth, and the laws that come with saving, and growing the money you have earned.                The story takes place roughly 4,100 years ago in ancient Babylon. We are introduced to a few characters within the story, but the main character is Arkad. Arkad started his life poor, and was hopefully to become r...

What Is Happening To Big Banks This Week?

      What Is Happening With The S&P500 Finance Sector This Week? End Of The Week Check-In.                   Good early Friday afternoon. I hope you all have some nice weather where you are. It is snowy, and brisk here. I think the S&P decided to follow suit this week. There was lot's of action this week in the stock market. We saw a few Fed meetings, Q4 releases for household debt, and dividend reports. The S&P500, or $SFX, showed some promise prior to Thursday's late fed meeting. As we approached the midweek, we notice a larger decline for the month as the Fed's meet, and as we see a slowing in economic growth. The S&P500 is down 1.38% for the day, while Lincoln National is down 1.49% on the day. American Express is down 1.51% on the day which is surprising since it has been up 14.40% on the month. We see some changes as we enter the midday of trading on Friday with the S&P500 down 0.28% f...

Great Sources For An Optimistic Outlook.                                 If you are new to the world of personal investing, or if you have been around for one year or more, you might be seeing news about the bear market. After one day of bear market news, you might come across bull market news. It can be confusing and there is no denying it! I am going to share some healthy, and refreshing links to try and show where the market is at today, and where it could be headed for the year.                     I spend most of my time tracking the S&P500, $SPX, but primarily the financial sector of the S&P.
