    In The Market as God, theologian Harvey Cox draws an intriguing analogy between The Market (capitalized as a deity) and the biblical God; Cox argues that The Market has taken control of our world like God to the religious, and as such has become the main religion in the world today. He draws a variety of parallels between the treatment, actions, and powers of The Market and God, and uses these parallels to draw conclusions about how to relegate The Market to a more appropriate role. His central thesis is that humans created markets for specific purposes, but they have now has grown too prominent in the psyche of its adherents, and thus has expanded into The Market, a deity that is not only intruding on other institutions but is ineffective…

The second way to look at being conservative is waiting on a stock to see a trend, such as the STRT stock, as it had a positive trend for the past three weeks, which then involved myself investing in another twenty-five stocks for the final week. The major benefit to a conservative strategy is you’re playing it safe…
