<It seems impossible to avoid the conclusion that the purposeful pursuit of wealth and prosperity are counter to the will of God. Responses?> I think the key is motivation. Whatever separates us from God is wrong. If the stock market separates me from God, then the stock market becomes my Idol (or God). This not only applies to the Stock Market but other things too (e.g. Stereophile Systems, TV, Football games, Girlfriend, Boyfriends, etc). It is interesting to see such a thread on a news group system dealing with stocks. The stock market is moved by greed and fear. These are two emotions which are contrary to God's will (I have had to struggle with both in the stock market). If we are controlled by greed or fear we are not free (we are slaves). Knowing the truth shall set us free. The funny thing is that successful traders seem to have removed greed and fear from the equation. Does this mean that by learning the truth we become better traders. Maybe. Matthew
