One of Warren Buffett’s favourite sayings about the market is: “be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy”.
Over the years, the numbers have grown, as Mr Buffett’s financial universe has expanded: from the millions to the hundreds of millions, to today’s multibillion-dollar deals.

They look to these things to “save them” — to give them the sense of purity, value, and acceptability that only Jesus can give. In my case, I was using ministry (and my own people) in this way.” Read the whole article here.
