hello uh I believe we're recording okay welcome to today's rant and I titled it the Titanic and the stock market not because I think the stock market is about to sink but it's the opposite uh I really think now I'm saying this as an investor uh I've invested in the stock markets for uh between 40 and 50 years and I you know was a day trader for a period of time i I loved it i loved it too much that's why I got out of it and uh and but I'm not speaking to you as a professional uh I have for a long time took all the time and attention that I was putting into investments and just focused on doing the Lord's will in the ministry so my advice may be good advice it's my advice i'm not saying thus sayaith the Lord i'm saying thus saith me uh but I think I have some experience and I think I may be right about this uh I think I am right about this or I wouldn't share it with you but you know I think this is the best time in many years to invest in the stock market um you know the the most successful investing strategy is buy low sell high stocks have been way too high for a long time to in my opinion jump in the market or invest in the market they're just now getting to a place where I think there's a big upside coming now I think there's going to be some turbulence for quite a while uh because of the tariffs and all i think it's a good thing not a bad thing i am so thankful to have such a bold leader in the White House that he's willing to do the right thing he's willing to sacrifice some short time short-term pain for major longtime gain also believe as I follow the business world I follow the economy i love studying it uh when I stop you know just focusing on stocks I start focusing on the world economy because it has a lot of very crucial things that we need to understand but there can be a big disconnect between the economy and the stock market i think the disconnect started decades ago in America were things that would drive the stock market up would think be things that are not very helpful to our overall economy and uh the things that would really helpful for the long-term health of our economy were down down you know would create a negative influence on the stock market and invest in stock market stock market is extremely shortterm uh sensitive and um I think what is going on right now with our administration should have been done a long time ago you know many um decades ago and if it had we could have done it in small increments and over a period of time and it would not have been so disruptive in the short term but that's what we've got going on that we came to a point I think where the whole world economy was tottering on the brink and still is but uh I think what had to be done had to be done boldly and swiftly and it's going to bring a lot more short-term pain to do it that way but it had to be done the alternative was really not not anything we want to consider too many of the world's economies are about to go over the cliff one of them is China's i think America's was right on the edge before Trump became very proactive very intentional and I don't think we've had a leader in the White House for you know a long long time maybe ever that had the courage and the boldness to do some of the things that he's done that could straighten out our economy get us back on a very healthy secure standing as secure as you can be in this present world but um you know it's going to take some short-term pain i'm sorry but that pain can turn into extremely good gain you know uh it really can the u the best investment strategy is buy low sell high like we said and this is uh right now is the time to buy even if the markets keep going down for a while now I'm telling you I'm not just giving you advice i'm telling you what I'm doing okay i believe in this enough that I this is what I'm going to do what I am doing um I'm very excited about it i see the potential for us to be much healthier as an economy than we have in decades uh I think the whole world has a chance to do that virtually you know I think the the nations that have tried to retaliate instead of reciprocate and just do what Trump said whatever percentage of tariffs you put on us that's what we're going to put on you that's fair isn't it well that is I think it is and I think it's what is needed uh throughout the world but uh those who have retaliated and said you could raise them on us we're going to raise them back on you and they start this neverending thing we've already got China being subjected to over a 100% tariff and they're trying to do more on us well that's just going to mean nobody's going to buy Chinese stuff anymore it's not going to happen we're going to shut them out of the US market which is probably the best thing we could do for the US market um just get it over with quick it there will be some pain no doubt about it there will be having to straighten out some disruption and everything else but listen it is going to be far worse on China or any other country that tries to do that we don't need them we can survive america is the biggest market in the world it is bigger than the rest of the world's market just about and uh we can survive within ourselves now we do need some things like rare earth minerals we need uh to bring a lot of our manufacturing back we have proven how fast we can do that world War II we shifted from making refrigerators and cars to making bombers almost overnight i mean when there's an emergency America has proven it can really respond fast and I think we can and I think we will and that is a healthy thing that can mobilize the country like we haven't been mobilized in a long time and need to be it can make all of this that would have been economic challenges and a big economic reset into a trade war and trade wars can be really devastating and they can be but you know the prepared will prosper in any conditions and I think we're better prepared than any country in the world number one factor almost nobody's talking about is we still have the reserve currency of the world and there is no currency in the world that can take its place as much as many have been trying and even putting theirs together in a basket with other count's currency to rival America's never worked can't work nobody has the backup that our currency has And you say "Well our currency is not backed anymore." It's backed by the faith people have in our markets in our economy in our country nobody else has that is anywhere close to what we have in the world the yuan has come close to crashing the world's mark uh economy several times and um I'm just saying the you know communist government of China still insists they can just put a currency out there and determine what it's worth tell people what it's worth and the whole world will believe them and the world never believed them they would accept that and deal with China because they wanted access to the huge Chinese markets not because they believed in the yuan but the yuan has never been tested on the open market and you can never know what it's really worth until it's allowed to float on the open currency markets of the world the Chinese have never allowed that to happen it could crash it could go to zero it could become stronger than they even think it but you never know until you do it well that's the big Achilles um heel of the Chinese nobody really knows what the yuan their currency is worth and they're the biggest competitor to the US well you know this could be absolutely crushing devastating to the Chinese it could topple everything most Americans are aware what happened the Chinese real estate market that has tanked and uh the biggest real estate maybe biggest real estate company in the world came to America to file bankruptcy because they had no way to file bankruptcy in their own country say we're insolvent we can't keep going they came to America to file bankruptcy and of course we have very generous bankruptcy laws because almost no one could really play the game of uh the free markets without a backs stop that says if you make a mistake and you lose everything we're going to help you get your feedback on the ground it's going to take a few years you're going to have to really we're going to have to know you learn what you should have learned through this but America has bankruptcy laws that that don't utterly condemn you for the rest of your life they help you restructure and get back your feet on the ground and uh but I I'm just saying I'm throwing out a lot of different things here but I tell you across the board I think this whole shakeout it's going to reveal a lot of things it's going to reveal our true friends those who are not true friends it's going to re reveal the true condition of economies around the world and uh and I think America is going to stand um now you know you say what about all the other things you said about the I did write an article article in 1987 about the Titanic in the stock market how you know um there were things that happened the 1987 stock market crash that reflected what happened to the ship the Titanic it was almost very remarkably similar but I don't think where we are today is like that and I do think from my own interchange with Trump President Trump and watching him closely there may be nobody else in the world that really understands what's happening better than he does and he not only understands it he knows what dos knobs to twist that and will bring what effect on the world the world economy and he's I think he's using that knowledge brilliantly and um I think we're going to come out of this stronger than ever with a much more realistic thing and you know what stock prices will fall for a time that's a good thing we were titering so close to you know there can be other factors driving stocks up or down other than the condition of the economy for example we're America is just about the only safe haven in the world for for resources for wealth and all that and everybody that's why Trump's able to these green cards for $5 million each i mean that that's incredible but it's bringing unbelievable resources into a country on day one they had applications for 1,000 of those do the math on how much income that brought to our country and how bad people want to be a part what we have here because they see in spite of some of the disruption all they see America is far more stable than anywhere else far more so and we have the ability to impact the whole world now this is something we've got to get because that that's not always a good thing for the rest of the world many there there's a saying that Um if America sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold and then it went to if America sneezes the rest of the world catches pneumonia well um that's true and very few of our presidents our leaders I believe very few maybe one or two politicians in Washington even understand basic economics and I've been saying that for decades i still believe it i think there's abundant proof that's true uh you know they make major decisions affecting incredibly big things having a tiny bit of knowledge a tiny bit of the information anyone should have to make those decisions that's one reason I'm so thankful Trump's in there he really gets it he gets it on worldwide bases he gets it on the micro and the macro levels and I think he's doing an incredible job managing these things uh but I think because he understands it so well he had the boldness to actually do what should have been done decades ago it would have not not have been as disruptive uh but it had to be done now i really think it's going to end up bringing us much more stability and then you're going to see the markets go up but there's going to be reality under them you know now you know for a long time what was driving up our markets there was nowhere else for the world's wealthy to put their resources that was safe enough and it ours weren't very safe yeah our markets can go way up and way down but it was safer than anything else out there just about and um now I think right now you know the safest thing is to invest in the American economy and that is in a major way very different in some ways from investing in the stock market now when we buy stocks and American businesses we're be buying stocks in America it really is an investment in America but for a long time the stock markets have been about short-term uh resources making short-term gains and investing in things that would bring about long-term problems for the economy and this is going to bring a reset that I think reconnects in a much closer way the stock market Wall Street and Main Street the stock markets and the economy and they are two different things we really need to get that and if you know what a price earnings ratio is that's what everybody usually when they investigate a stock or some company they want to invest in one of the first things you're taught to look at is the price earnings ratio called the PE ratio there's a formula for it that's price compared to earnings and if a company's earnings are so low that its price is 30 or 50 times more than their earnings per year that stock's set up for a crash uh that's what happened in the 1929 stock market it was not the terrorists that did that it was the PE ratios of stocks got so exorbitant because everybody was invested in stock market many who had no clue what they were really doing it's just they saw it going up up up like ours had just been doing so they were driving it up investing in companies that weren't worthy of those investments at that time their price earnings ratio was way out of whack just like some of ours were getting to be this correction I think in many ways was a very good thing for our long-term health but I think if we get it and when all the dust settles from the tariff wars and everything else I think it's going to be a much greater potential to have the markets go way back to where they were and even higher um in a much more healthy way because the economy be will be so straightened out the companies will be making more so they're the price earnings ratios are they can have uh you the stock price can be much higher than they were but still the PE ratios come down because the earnings in that equation have come up so much companies are actually making much more of a profit that's what Trump starts talking about the golden age he's really right i believe he is totally right this is where we're headed if we don't bulk if we don't panic and shut down he's the captain of the ship now we elected him let him do his job let him steer us where he wants to i believe he has the wisdom i believe he is a godsend to give our country to give the world more time and to get us established and a little bit further away from that cliff we were all about to go over economically but um now on on the other hand one other factor it can be extremely healthy uh also and a foundational strength for our stock markets to be high to be strong that reveals a uh strength and a health also that can be really helpful i mean it's not helpful for everybody to lose so much money in their 401s and 403s but you haven't really lost anything if you have if you've stayed the course and you will make back on paper you've lost on paper and you'll make back on paper and in a real way everything you've lost if you just hold the course markets go up and down anyway and this is not even a measure we've had much bigger corrections than than this in our path weathered them and come out better and stronger and healthier but for me myself I'm trying you know I don't take a very large salary uh I don't have too much capital myself i invest in the kingdom but whatever I have and I can put together I am going to right now invest in the stock market uh in some stocks that I think are good and healthy reflect a vision for our future and stuff like that but I I just feel like this is what we've been waiting for so we can buy low and sell high but don't try to hit the absolute bottom you'll miss the bottom you'll hold on said "It's going lower i'm going to wait and it'll turn north and you'll think pretty soon it's gone further than you can reach." So I'm just saying I think it's unhealthy and I think it's actually unrighteous to try to ring every little penny out of an investment i used to pride myself when I bought a stock at its lowest possible price and I did that a few times i mean I nailed it right at the bottom and it turned north started going up and I made a lot of money and then I prided I had pride in selling it right at the top you know what the Lord said he said said to me one day "That's unrighteous." Uh when you want to sell at the absolute top you're not leaving any gleanings in the field for the one who buys from you to make anything you've made it all you've rung everything out of it so he said the righteous thing to do is to set what you want to make on it and what you think is a fair for your investment and be sure to sell it at a low enough price that whoever buys it from you is going to be able to make something too does that make sense to you and you know what that did to me right away it helped take the greed out of my heart i was getting greedy and I was so getting so attached to certain standards of you know what I should make in my investments and but when I did that and just start thinking of other people I want to buy it at a fair price i don't want to rank I don't want to devastate them by giving them my lower price i do that in real estate too i never try to beat down anybody for real estate beat them down below what is fair market value i want to pay the fair market value nothing less now I don't want to pay more than that either but I want to pay that that's what King David said he will not offer to the Lord that which cost him nothing well I kind of it's not exactly the same thing but I want to give people a fair shake i want them to always feel like they got a fair deal from me and uh and I think that's righteous i don't want to have any guilt about not paying someone what what some something for what something was worth um I hope that makes sense to you but that's how I feel and if you're going to wait for the absolute bottom it it can be um smart to wait and see the market turn back a little bit a lot of people do that i think I believe in dollar cost averaging which I don't have time to really explain right now on this video but uh you know certain ways where you you invest all the way down just like you invest in stocks that are going up and you can make way more doing that than you can just investing in in a stock that's going up sounds crazy it really works trust me but uh I will explain that one day but look it up dollar cost averaging it's a basic easy to understand strategy that is one of the most brilliant ones there is so you don't care if stuff's going up or down you would rather it go down while you're buying in like most people right now just invest in their retirement accounts while you're building your retirement account you want price to go down you'll buy more shares for the investment you have to make and then you want to go up when you start taking it out to retire or whatever that's how that works but I'm saying you should be really happy right now that now there are many many great stocks and great companies that are worthy of investing in for your retirement accounts or whatever that are at a very low price or a very good price and you will probably have a really big upside because of this market correction um okay i hope that helped that's a question I get a lot so I decided to just spew on you what I think uh if you want to know what I think that's it and but I am no professional and I've just been on the outskirts mostly observing these things for a while to understand the prophetic significance or where things were headed but uh you know so I am not claiming any insight from the Lord on this it's just stuff I learned okay what Paul's the apostle wrote one time this is my opinion he said I think I have the Holy Spirit on this but I'm not sure it's my opinion take it as my opinion it's kind of where I'm coming from and I hope this is helpful for you a lot of people are dramatized by what's going on i get excited when I say this i get really excited and thankful i feel like the Lord's setting a lot of people up to do very well and to maybe you know have a really good nest egg for the retirement i don't believe in retirement i don't want to retire ever that's why I've you know not done much with even my own accounts but occasionally I do get engaged and this is one time I am so thank you i'll quit rambling and ranting but thank you for joining me today join us in Hearn Hut Germany this June the greatest adventure begins when we obey the voice of the Lord as we seek the Lord's blueprints for Europe and his higher calling for each of our [Music] lives a new season of reformation begins now scan the QR code to learn more and register today [Music]
