Seems it was early summer of 2006, I "heard" the rider on the black horse had been released or would be released, and the economic repercussions would begin to become evident. It was then, that I did two things. First, I posted what I'd heard on my Yahoo 360° blog. Remember Yahoo 360°?
After posting the warning of the coming economic calamity, I then called my stock broker and told him, I had changed my direction for stock investment and asked him to seek the divestiture of my portfolio. He talked to me a few minutes, reminding me of my age, growth potential of the companies, recommending that perhaps I should give further consideration to this, maybe come in and talk to him . . . I thanked him for his time and said my decision was final.
It's been over 7 years now, since I changed my "stock" investment, and so thankful that I didn't let him talk me out of that decision. I'm still not sure if my particular investments would have been worthy of the taxpayer bail out! Even with a bail out, I don't think Wall Street has matched the dividends I've received. Since that decision and phone call, I've increased my land holdings by more than 500%. Seeds that didn't even cost as much as his selling fee have produced harvests to fill a fruit cellar. I started three businesses after purchasing a milk goat, which cost less than the commission the broker charged per transaction. Stella was quite the "stock" investment.
I've truly sown into what I believe I'm supposed to be doing and what the people of YHWH will find to be a beneficial harvest. As these end of days unfold, and the 1% and 98% squabble over money and a living wage, I've found some solid stock investment, not on Wall Street, but rather; Outside of Mainstream and Off the Beaten Path.
