While milking the other morning my mind wandred off into some unknown and strange places. I can't remember what sparked the thought but I began to ponder the stockmarket. The basic question was centered around whether I as a christian should participate in buying and selling stocks. Currently I don't have any stocks or ever have had any stocks. My reason for not having any has nothing to do with religion or what I believe. However, the thought that went through my mind was this. Is their a difference between the New York Stock Exchange and playing the lottery? Would I not be taken a gamble by buying stocks? Or is it okay because one, stocks, would be a buisness venture and could be a wise thing to do. The chances for success would be much greater, I guess...
How many of you have stocks and how does it work? Maybe my ignorance on the subject can explain why I don't see much difference between the two.

Glen, you really need to go to vse.marketwatch.com and try their virtual stock exchange. That said, investing usually requires that you have some wealth to invest. Ergo, I don't have much experience.
Isn't your 'live STOCK ' and farming venture a gamble? I have always heard farming is a gamble.. I Don't know much about stocks either, but I do know we have some.Don't get excited...there's not that much there...
