    More Americans joined the unemployment line last week than a week earlier. And consumers were under even more pressure at the cash register last month than economists thought, thanks to higher gas prices.

    The Dow Jones industrial average is down 450 points, or 2.8 percent, to 10,964. The S&P 500 is down 49, or 4.6 percent, to 1,144. The Nasdaq composite is down 116, or 4.63 percent, to 2,395.

    I was given an online newsletter from a Rabbi who’s sermons I listen to all the time & it said that during the week when the Stock Market went up & down & then up again,etc., that the numbers at EACH DAY of finish, added up to 26! The number of HaShem. No joke! Look up the numbers!

    Here’s how the formula works: (these are made up numbers just to explain):

    If on the closing day the number was: 467.09

    Then you’d add up the #’s “consecutivley” (sp?-lol)

    So, 4+6=10+7=17+0-17+9+ 26

    Like that! And the numbers of the FINAL trading day, added up to 19, which, if you add 1+9 it equals 10, or rather, the number of “completion”.

    HaShem is in control of ALL of this up & down you guys & I believe He is testing us, to see if we as a people (ALL of us, Jews & Gentiles alike), will have the stamina to put our faith in HIM… or if we’re just going to keep putting it in the Stock Market.

    I believe these numbers will go up & down for a LONG time to come, because we never have fully recovered from the Bush Years & now the attitude in the country is “You’re not going to get you cancer treatments on MY DIME”, and so forth & so on…

    YOU DON’T THINK HASHEM SEES HOW WE’RE TREATING EACH OTHER?!
