  2. Actually much of the Bible deals with wages and profits. There is an xcelent book called The Treasure Principle that deals with in depth the multitude of references to money et al.

    Solomon, Biblically professed to be the wisest man ever, said "The love of money is the root of all evil."

    I always find it interesting the context that this is quoted, although it is usually misquoted as "Money is the root of all evil."

    There is a huge difference between the actual quote and the misquote.

    Another true quote is...

  3. The most important thing is to let God stand on your side, not naked women.

  7. Not only was Solomon the wisest, he was the richest. Noone ever had as much stuff, money, or women as he did, before or since. So, I don't suppose it makes sense to listen to anything he has to say about any of this.

    "Of what use is more money? You spend up to the limits of your income anyway."

    "I've had it all. Here is the bottom line: Fear God and keep his commands."

    paraphrasing.

  8. The naked women are part of trading?? Wow, I still have so much to learn about trading. Thank goodness there's so much to learn about trading on ET. Gives a whole new meaning to "going long" during a rally. I feel sorry for the guys who "go short." Ok, these are lame. I'll stop now.

  9. No definite answer. Some traders are. Some aint. It's like asking if you find a briefcase full of hundreds in your backyard, would you keep it or give it to the police.
