Have you heard the term, “The bull walks up the stairs but the bear jumps out the window”
I’m watching the bear jump as I write.
If you own stocks or have assets tied to the stock market, you may know what I’m talking about. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has given up 4,000 points since April 19th. That’s a lot of points in just 3 weeks. 6,000 points lost since the 52 week high in the 1st week of January 2022.
If you look at the charts, you will see what typically happens in a crash. There is not a peak with a freefall all in one day. You see a short fall, followed by a slight recovery, followed by another fall, followed by a slight recovery. This repeats 2 or 3 or 4 times, with each fall landing a little lower and each recovery fall short of the previous recovery’s high.
And then you see the bear make his final leap right out that window. With a bumpy fall.
Will it continue to fall? Or will it do another slight recovery?
One indication that this may be the big leap out the window is that today the bear crashed through the floor. We set a new 52 week low. Go look at the 1 year mountain chart and you will see it is possible the bear is in freefall.
Of course, I will be very happy to be wrong.
By the way, crypto currencies are taking a beating as well. The very popular Bitcoin is down over 60% from it’s high in 2021. As are many of the digital coins. The LUNA currency just shut down all trading today. Complete shutdown. I have not seen the numbers yet, but that indicates a total crash of that coin. It probably just vaporized, as can anything digital. Digital by definition means not real, not tangible.
In a way, that is how the stock market works. Your “asset” can dissipate – not exist anymore. What we are witnessing right now is the dissipating of trillions of dollars worth of stocks and currencies. Poof. Gone.
This affects all of us, whether we participate in the markets or not. It is an indication of where we are on a timeline that will have real consequences in our daily lives.
Did you feel the effects of the crash of 2008? That crash gave up 3,600 points in three weeks, with the overall loss of points from the 52 week high around 8,000.
When the bear leaped in 2008, the Dow lost 777 points that day. We have already seen a day last week with over $1k loss. As I’m writing today, the Dow is down nearly 600 pts.
I’m paying attention. I know the money printing and interest rates indicate troubled waters ahead. I now the Bible tells us in those days the black horseman brings staggering inflation and food shortages. Are we in a precursor to that rider? Do I hear hoofbeats in the distance?
Whether the end of days or troubled times of recession/depression, it is time to be wise, seek the Lord for what you are to do, and get ready to provide. Not only provide for your own household, but for others that do not see the train coming and are lollygagging on the tracks.
We are about to experience a great moment in history. If you have your ear to your King and obey, He will be able to use you to do mighty exploits and glorify His Great Name! The darker the days, the brighter He shines.
In the natural, get your fiscal house in order.
Behind the veil, look to the author and finisher of your faith and heed the call of Revelation 13:10.
“Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.”
