    Pride Month

    Sinners are going to sin...I DONT CARE about other's sins...I care about mine and the organizations that I belong to. Those are the ones I am responsible for.

    Ring of Fire

    Thursday morning in North America and possibly Russia there will be a lovely solar eclipse in the morning hours. This is the kind where the moon is farther away from the earth enough that when it eclipses the Sun that a ring of the sun is visible...a "Ring of Fire". It's going to be visible...

    Pride Month

    What a JOKE! All kinds of commercials showing men and women engaged in sexually suggestive acts that show some company's pride/endorsement of the LBGTQRSTLMNOP community. And on top of this all kinds of various churches these days seem to be more endorsing of homosexual relationships and...

    Thoughts on what a False Prophet is?

    Prophesy has three types: Preaching... Forth telling... absolutely the truth. Always bad news when the prophet came to tell you something. Meaning you need to repent. Fore telling... always bad news about the future. I've added nothing. You do seem to leave things out... cutting out...

    Marriage Is Not For Everybody

    Corinthians 13 is read at most weddings for a reason. It explains and defines love. And if you don't have love...then you don't have a marriage. It's not a warm fuzzy feeling but it can lead to those. It's not a biological desire. But those can be sated in a marriage. And God has said "It is...

    Thoughts on what a False Prophet is?

    When someone distorts the gospel message or God's message to us...that makes them a false prophet. Things like "gold dusters" or "winds of doctrine" that are so prevalent in churches. From political positions to medical advice...those things are not part and parcel with the message of God...

    Traders and Investors

    IPOs and capital fundraisers are very very short term plays. Two days is usually my limit. A lot go to three...but them guys got more guts than brains IMHO. One is usually good enough for me. IPO s have a very particular chart formation... and you have to understand that institutional investors...

    Traders and Investors

    It's probably only going to go down another one percent or two now. See the long wick on the candle...it's on the bottom. New trend line since last earnings. It might hit 75 again but...chances and indications are that it's going to meander back up to 81 now. It's a highly profitable company...

    Traders and Investors

    Any stock...no matter what. If you buy in and it goes down over 2% you dump it... That's called the 2% rule. You buy stocks to make money...not lose it. And even if you have made great money in a stock of it tanks 8% you dump it...that's the 8% rule. You can always buy back in at a later time...

    Traders and Investors

    If it does...then you are in good shape for a 25% return... you are up... and usually after around a 20-25% run up I'm ready to begin taking profits. It takes a lot of good signals for me to hang out much after that. (Like stronger accumulation signals than when I bought into it) I used to be...

    Traders and Investors

    See, the thing is that if you choose well and buy at the right time...you get every penny of every mortgage payment you make back in your hands when you sell it to move again. Plus your down payment... That's a lot of money to most people... eventually when you one day retire you live in a...

    Traders and Investors

    And don't forget about coffee.... There's real issues with it this year. Spring/summer is generally a low price time of year for it...but prices are already at a 4year high. I'm heavily invested into JO which is an ETN (similar to an ETF but it's sole function is coffee futures using bonds) I...

    Traders and Investors

    You are out there more than I... able to see better than me. I know about malls...and I agree with you about going mall shopping in general. Kohl's is hit or miss around here... you might catch them full or empty. (Free standing store). I was thinking more about the strip malls than the type...

    I'm Pretty Sure That Jesus Wasn't Talking About This

    Oh...all kinds of thugs that couldn't keep outta jail are there for me...they are used to following what I say...I got friends in high and low places.

    Microchips Under the Skin

    In Revelations it talks about those in the inner courtyard receiving a seal ("Holy to God" like the Levites wore on their turban while working in the Temple or Tabernacle)...very different than the coin stamp of the beast for carrying out commerce. Understanding yet? One is for worshipping the...

    I'm Pretty Sure That Jesus Wasn't Talking About This

    And if someone hits me? Smack that idiot to the ground and use my steel toe boots to leave a sore place on his buttocks that he will feel every time he tries to sit down...I mean make it deep and to the bone. And attacking one of my loved ones? He needs police protection...there is safety for...

    I'm Pretty Sure That Jesus Wasn't Talking About This

    Woah now... Major misunderstanding of the difference between suffering and accepting of abuse...I think James said something about this.... maybe it was Paul. Suffering is far removed from abuse. Abuse is the worst thing you can do to anybody and gets the worst punishment from God possible...

    Microchips Under the Skin

    Let's put it this way... If for some reason you needed an organ transplant and someone had one for sale...but you discovered that the organs the person sold were obtained by killing poor people in an impoverished country...do you look past your own poor health and refuse to buy the organ? How...

    Microchips Under the Skin

    You are correct up to a point... Cheap labor or highly skilled labor are the commodities desired. (And everything is a commodity) We need cheap labor currently in America to help with the housing crisis. There's a huge demand for houses but not enough supply. Then housing has gone up 20% in...

    Microchips Under the Skin

    All that I said before was to help understand a point... A medium of exchange must be both secure and have high ease of usability for exchange of value. Microchips implanted can't and won't have that. There is no technology currently available that will accomplish this. Credit cards and...
