As many investors know, although an extreme lack of growth is
generally associated with
weak markets, outside of recessions there is a very
weak relationship between stock market performance and economic growth.
The love commandments of Jesus and his concern for the
weak and helpless impel us to political and economic action in our time, although it is
generally admitted that what Jesus was talking about was not particular strategies, but the relation of persons to God and to one another in every human
relationship.
