King Solomon didn’t play the stock market, part of the reason for this being that there wasn’t one in his day, but there were plenty of ways to invest and he did lots of that. Land, horses, precious metals: the good king had quite a property investing career going while he sat on the throne. The problem today, for biblical students and others alike, is that too many of our minds go straight to the stock market when talk turns to investing. The reason is obvious – Wall Street has created an entire industry around the dissemination of skewed information that would lead the average citizen to conclude that’s the place to stick your extra cash. Long time followers of this blog know this is not even close to being the best investment you can find.
