Actively trading on the stock market. Godâs will, or selfish gambling?
Main Post:
I see other Christians trading stocks, and donât judge them. They are looking after their families, or not being a burden on others. And itâs a fairly normal activity.
When I think about actively (eg. daily) trading for myself, however (no kids), it doesnât seem to have the usual qualities of Godâs will, such as helping others.
Have others prayed on or wondered about frequent trading on the stock market? What have you discovered?
Top Comment: I have traded in the stock market and I have had a commission only job, and I have started business that failed and that made lots of money. When Jesus was a carpenter he probably didn't receive a w-2 at the end of the year. In those days Jesus probably bought the wood and his tools to make the stuff he did to sell to make a living from carpentry. That was a gamble. He could have lost money trying to learn carpentry or could have messed up the wood and had to start a project over and the project will now lose money. Nothing is different than stocks or starting a business. That doesn't mean go blindly in like a casino. Learn first, make small trades, make mistakes, learn, make bigger trades, learn, ECT.

Max selling gold in market
Main Post:
For some reason, when I sell items at the market stand, no matter the item, the max price I can get is 3 brass. Is there a way to up this?
Top Comment:
Nope. To charge more than 3 gold for items, you have to buy a Goods store. I guess it's their way of making you progress into buying stores.
What Happens when you have a 3day Gold Hold and a Controlled Market

Top Comment: I wonder how bad the charge backs were that is really the only reason I can see them doing this
Whatâs the benefit of all the current investment in gold?
Main Post:
Gold is at its highest in decades...
I was at Costco the other day, and noticed a sign for gold bars. I asked the cashier, and she said that gold bars have been flying off the shelves lately. People are buying an upwards of 100K in gold bars just at Costco, and they canât keep them in stock.
What is the point of this?
Say our economy goes to hell: is a gold barter system even reliable?
You canât just shave off a piece of gold every time you need to buy food or necessities
Top Comment: It does have one very valuable property - if the dollar tanks then gold can be easily exchanged for other currencies that presumably haven't devalued. If the entire world goes to shit then it's probably not going to help, but if it's just your currency (e.g. as the result of a default) then Gold might just give you a leg up in whatever currency replaces it.
Where in the world is the best secondhand solid gold jewelry market?
Main Post:
Edit: thanks for the replies so far everyone! Iâm specifically looking for countries / cities, where I can combine the secondhand jewelry shopping with some of my travels upcoming year :)
â Hi all, as the title says: where do you think is the best supply of solid gold jewelry from secondhand / antique / vintage sources? The most accessible, affordable, diverse?
I LOVE solid gold jewelry (doesnât have to be with gemstones) and am a bit bored with a lot of the styles available where I live (the Netherlands). Likely is because we donât have a big tradition around gold jewelry, so there is not much supply.
Excited to hear what your take is!
Top Comment: eBay! I have found so many gold pieces at a fraction of what I would pay at any store.
Why does anyone actually buy and sell physical gold?
Main Post:
A friend of mine was telling me theyâre gonna start buying physical gold as part of their portfolio. Theyâre using TD to buy the bars. (by bars I mean fractions of an ounce).
This just doesnât make sense to me. Not to dive into why or why not gold is a good investment. I think thatâs a topic for another day. I donât think physical gold is as liquid as just buying gold in the market. Itâs not tax advantaged (like a tfsa). Having physical gold bars at your house seems like an unnecessary risk if anyone were to break in.
The only reason the friend gave was, if theyâre investing in it they may as well have the physical investment. Something tangible on their property that can be seen. Opposed to it being a number in an account.
Would love to hear PFCâs opinion on this one
Top Comment: There are many people who believe that the paper gold certificates out there arenât actually backed by physical gold. They believe that there are many times more paper certificates than there are ounces to back them therefore the paper is âworthless.â In a crisis if they wanted to redeem their paper for the gold it supposedly represents they believe they wouldnât be able to redeem for physical gold. Alot of gold bugs are also sceptical of fiat currency which by definition is a piece of paper promising to be a store of value. That scepticism transfers over to gold certificates which ultimately are just paper (or digital) tokens which promise to hold something of value. Iâm not saying itâs right or wrong. Itâs just how I understand the goldbug thinking.
âItâs a sign of impending warsâ: Why a tense world is betting on gold
Main Post: âItâs a sign of impending warsâ: Why a tense world is betting on gold
Top Comment: War is happening all the time and we have been told to âinvest in goldâ or âbuy goldâ for decades. And people who have been in real wars will tell you that they traded their gold for potatoes.
Can someone explain how true this is?

Top Comment: But you could buy a starter home in Hammond, IN for $80,000. Added bonus, if you raise a kid there from Jr. High to completing high school, they get free tuition at a public college for free.
