Dear Ray:
Is it okay for a believer to invest in the stock market, bonds, mutual funds, CD's, and all the rest? Thanks...
Dean
Dear Dean:
It is not possible for me to answer your question properly, as I believe it would depend on numerous factors. The Stock Market is a form of legalized gambling. I will paraphrase Andrew Tobia from his book: The Only Investment Guide You Will Ever Need. He said something like this: When you bet that you will get 21 in Blackjack, that's gambling; when you bet that your team will win in football, that's gambling, when you bet that a certain horse will come in first, that's gambleing, but when you bet that a certain stock will go up, THAT'S BUSINESS; see the difference?
God be with you,
Ray
