Pastor Kevin Swanson makes two good points.
1. American stocks are overvalued.
2. There will be a big correction in 2024.
"Are American stocks overvalued?
The NASDAQ stock index has hit an all-time high, closing Friday at 16,826. That’s up from 1,204 in 2009, a 14-fold increase.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed for the year 2023 at 37,690, up from 7,060 in 2009. That’s a 5-fold increase. Meanwhile, almost every other stock market in the world hasn’t come close to these valuations.
WolfStreet.com reports that the Chinese Shanghai composite is still where it was in 2009. Japan’s Nikkei is leveled off where the index stood in 1989. The UK FTSE Index is up about 50% since 2009. Spain’s IBEX index is still where it was sitting in 2009. Canada’s Index is up about 40% from 2008.

U.S. economist Harry Dent told Fox Business: “Since 2009, this has been a 100% artificial [economy], with unprecedented money printing and deficits; $27 trillion over 15 years, to be exact. … We’re in a dangerous state. 2024 is going to be the biggest single crash year we’ll see in our lifetimes.”
The economist forecasts an 86% crash in the S&P, a 92% crash in the NASDAQ, 96% for crypto, and significant deflation on housing prices.
But Jesus said, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” (Luke 12:15) Our Savior also said, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)"
Well, it's not "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius."
It's $400,000 Bentley automobiles. A lot of them. Of all the dealerships in Europe, the one in Kiev is in third place for sheer volume.
Take note of this tragic truth:
"Foreign aid is a mechanism by which poor people in rich countries are taxed to support the lifestyles of rich people in poor countries. The aid primarily serves three Ms—: munitions, monuments, and Mercedes for leaders and cronies."
--- Peter Thomas Bauer, a Hungarian-born British development economist:
Donald Trump this morning announced that “VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST” have taken place between the U.S. and Iran over the past two days.
As a result, the president has “INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD.”
