I went for a walk with my dogs today on the frozen lake by my house. Soon after the market opened this morning, I felt an urge to sell some of my dividend fund holdings (part, not all) and buy some call options on Ford. I have not had positive experiences in the past buying options, due to the erosion of the value with time if the price of the stock does not increase. So I went for my customary walk to pray about it.
When I asked the Lord what I should invest in He made it clear He has told me what is going to happen already. It is for me to step out of the boat and act on what He has told me. He has said the DOW will be at about 12,000 in April. And that Ford will double (I don't have a definite time frame for Ford's doubling but my impression is the time frame is approximately a year out).
When I got back home it seemed to me perfectly obvious that the Lord can give us one or two stock market tips where we can do exceptionally well if we simply act on his tip, trust and are patient. I am not recommending you do this, but I felt release, liberty and joy in purchasing the Ford January 2011 calls with a strike price of $15 (my purchase price: $1.05) and the DIA June 2010 calls with a strike price of $115 (my purchase price: $1.07 average). I anticipate both of these calls will at least triple in price in their respective time frames. Please do not buy call options if you are not familiar. I am simply stating what I did with the awareness that one or two good tips from the Lord can make your financial life easier. He is so amazing in His willingness to bless us. And so I hope His blessing doesn't flow just to me - to all of us - but through us to others. What an incredible loving generous approachable Father we have, so willing to guide and direct so we flourish and be a blessing to others.
Update as of January 13, 2010 11:00 am: I had made a paper profit on the Ford calls the last couple of days but today there was a downgrade from a Buy to Hold so there is a selloff of Ford. I sold my calls at a small loss and will wait to buy more calls after I see where this presumably short-term selloff bottoms out.
Update as of January 21, 2010 8:00 am: It is interesting I had made a paper profit on both the DIA and Ford calls the couple of days after January 8 but I did not sell. Today, since I don't have the stomach for the volatility in options, I also sold my DIA calls at a loss. I do believe all the Lord has said about the DOW and Ford. But I think options are not the strategy I am comfortable with.
Update as of January 27, 2010 Noon: The market has had about a 5.7% correction from a high of 10,719 to today's low so far of 10,104. I am reminded of my September 29, 2009 post, "I also prayed about the stretch from now at approximately 10,000 in September to approximately 12,000 in April 2010 as I had twice seen several weeks ago a vision of black candlesticks swords trying to attack the DOW (sellers, short-sellers) in the range of 11,000. I believe the area between 10,000 and 12,000 in the approximate area of 11,000 might be a bit bumpy. But the Lord has also shown me in prayer that He will support the market through this stretch." So I am praying for the manifestation of this September revelation as well as the other revelations that despite short sellers, the Lord will be supporting the market through April.

DOW on track to 12,000 in spring 2010 as the Lord Said
I have not blogged lately because there has been nothing to add until this week.
The DOW is moving as the Lord said, eventually to approx. 12,000 in April 2010, please see below. I, believing the Lord, am fully invested in stocks and highly yielding covered call funds and bond funds.
Last week the Lord told me Ford would double in price. I bought at about $10. I had originally bought last spring when the Lord told me to at under $2. If only I had believed and not sold! What a hobbling of the mind and a paralysis of action which human reason and its complicit doubting can be.
Some stocks and funds for you to research: AOD, F, EEM, EWZ, EXG, HIX, HTGC, IGD, NCV, XME.
Here is an interesting wise question by Robert Schuller "What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?" For me it has been investing as the Lord directs. It is both exciting as well as relaxing knowing He is in control.
2010 is going to be an absolutely wonderful year, He is making it so!

September 29, 2009
DOW to approximately 12,000 by April 2010
I have prayed the last couple weeks about where the DOW will go from here. As I mentioned below, the DOW reached a high of 9917 on September 23, just 83 points from 10,000. Perhaps the precise price of 10,000 was not tagged in September but the DOW definitely approximated 10,000. The DOW didn't decline steeply in September, as many prophesied, and it also reached 10,000 well before year end. Mark Skousen, an economist, expected the DOW to reach 10,000 by year end (I learned of his secular forecast after I first prophesied the DOW to 10,000 in September). I am not aware of anyone who expected the DOW to be close to 10,000 in as early as September. So with the results that happened this month, I believe the Lord spoke clearly about the DOW to 10,000 as a September birthday present.
But now where do we go from here? The Lord has shown me repeatedly in prayer the last couple of weeks that the DOW will be at (I insert “approximately”) 12,000 by or in April 2010.
I also prayed about the stretch from now at approximately 10,000 in September to approximately 12,000 in April 2010 as I had twice seen several weeks ago a vision of black candlesticks swords trying to attack the DOW (sellers, short-sellers) in the range of 11,000. I believe the area between 10,000 and 12,000 in the approximate area of 11,000 might be a bit bumpy. But the Lord has also shown me in prayer that He will support the market through this stretch.
Also, I believe the "jump" the Lord stated about the hop-skip-and-jump from the market lows has now concluded. See my May 19 post, "The Lord is playing a hop, skip and jump game with the forces that took the S&P 500 to 666 on 3-6-9. “3-6-9” is the hint. The Lord says, “Watch the market hop, skip and jump.” The Lord showed the stock market has hopped (steeply) up from March 6 to March 23. It has skipped (along a more gently sloped rise) from March 23 to now [note as of 9-29-09, the "skip" lasted until July 10, 2009]. And it will jump up (a steeper rise) in the future to place the DOW at 10,000. Incredible? No :)"
Do I expect some modest corrections in the 5-10% range periodically? Yes. Do I expect a more severe correction of 20% or more? I do not, or else He is hiding it from me.
I wish you much, much prosperity in your investing so you may be a material as well as spiritual blessing to others.
Update as of October 14, 2009: The DOW closed at 10,015 today. Maybe the "jump" part of the "hop, skip and jump" didn't conclude at the end of September as I believed. The DOW chart since the March lows certainly does have a hop, skip and jump pattern!

Update as of October 29, 2011:
The DOW reached 12,000 in mid January 2011, 9 months later than I had seen. Either the Lord changed course or, more likely, I was off on my time frame. However, the number and direction of the market overall was correct.

DOW to 10,000 in September per June 13 2009 word from the Lord
Please see the words of the Lord to me on June 13, 2009 "Take heed that DOG, the short of the DOW, is GOD backwards. This prophet heard another say yesterday the DOG is GOD backwards. That is true. I can repair with mystery, I can repair with air. Yes, the DOW is up with air, air, air! Watch my wind blow. Watch me, 10,000 in September 2009. A present to my children and those not yet my children. A birthday present because Catherine has asked for one, a birthday party where everyone receives presents. I will repair with air, with that which you cannot see. Rejoice because I will inflate your portfolios! Rest in My words, I am doing things you cannot see. You see air, but I will inflate, I will inflate your smile!”
I incorrectly assumed the DOW would go to 10,000 by my birthday on September 16, which is mid September. But the Lord simply stated in September. I am the one who added "mid September" and "by September 16". Please accept my apologies as these additions were not in the original word from the Lord. On September 16, 2009, today, the DOW closed at 9791, a stone's throw of only 209 points or a mere 2.1% increase to 10,000.

Remembering 9-11
As 9-11 is brought into vision two days from now, a spirit of defiance has risen in me against the powers of evil that wreaked destruction that day in 2001. I believe America was founded by those seeking Christian and political freedoms from oppressive forces. So my spirit defies and prays against those forces that oppose the America of our founding fathers.
When I think of 9-11 I hear the liberty bell ringing and think of all those who place their faith in Almighty God and His Son. So my fervent prayer today is the market will reveal the spirit of defiance in America against forces of evil that dwell outside of as well as within our shores. That despite political powers contrary to God that seek to steal, kill or destroy, that the voice of the Lord's America will arise.
I had two friends who were killed in 9-11, one in the Pentagon, the other in one of the planes. Both were Christians. May this coming 9-11 be a bright day, showing those who died did not die in vain. We are still an America that prays. We will continue to pray for the safety of our country and a strong economy for our citizens.

September Superstition
September is a month of superstition. We experienced the 9-11 attack, the date bearing an uncanny resemblance to a 911 emergency call. Last year we experienced the Lehman Brothers collapse and the beginning of the emergency state of the banking and financial industries. According to the September 1, 2009 e-newsletter by Nicholas Vardy, "September's weakness stretches back farther into the past. The crash of 1987 may have happened in October, but the market began its descent right around Labor Day. And although the crash of 1929 is commonly associated with October, the market peaked just around this time of the year. The worst month of the Great Depression? That took place in September 1931, when the Dow fell a whopping 30%. This is also one bit of market lore that stands up to rigorous statistical examination. Since 1926, September is the only month of the year with an overall negative average return in U.S. markets. In every other month, investors have averaged a 1% gain. Of equal importance, the September anomaly holds true not only for the United States. A recent Georgia Tech study looked at data for 18 developed stock markets around the world going back as far as 200 years. Among the markets examined, investors lost money in September in 15 of them."
To compound the marketplace's superstitions, Christians also associate the number 9 with judgment. So beware of 9-9-09!
I became a Christian to be free of my past spiritualities and superstitions that were not Christ-based. I understand the Lord does use dates and biblical numerology and the Jewish calendar to communicate with His children. But several of my God-fearing friends were born in September, the month of number 9. So was I. I would like September to be a nice month, a grace-filled month for this year, not a superstitious month that creates a significant selloff like we experienced today. So I have simply prayed to the Lord that He would let to His generous love and grace-filled goodness rule, even if 9 is supposedly a bad number. I prayed this year His grace would overcome any judgment the enemy would plan this month. This is simply my prayer.
I like Mark Twain's tongue-in-cheek humor towards superstition (in Vardy's newsletter):
"October is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks. The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August, and February." --Mark Twain
Update as of September 10, 2009 11:00 am: I just learned today many Christians associate the number 9 with new beginnings, such as in 9 months to labor and give birth. So 9-9-09 represents new birth and beginnings to them rather than judgment. Interesting we can have vastly different perspectives!

"Jump" is happening; DOW to above 10,000 in September
The market is up 150+ points today to 9400+. The "jump" is continuing and I believe the pullback happened before the DOW touched 9200 rather than after. I had written on May 19, 2009, "The Lord is playing a hop, skip and jump game with the forces that took the S&P 500 to 666 on 3-6-9. “3-6-9” is the hint. The Lord says, “Watch the market hop, skip and jump.” The Lord showed the stock market has hopped (steeply) up from March 6 to March 23. It has skipped (along a more gently sloped rise) from March 23 to now. And it will jump up (a steeper rise) in the future to place the DOW at 10,000. Incredible? No :)" On June 13, 2009 I modified the jump to 10,000 (instead of 12,000), writing, "Where 10,000 appears it has replaced the number 12,000 as of today. Nothing else in the text has been edited in this original post. The reason for the correction is I have believed with conviction all the numbers of the DOW from the Lord: 7200, 7500, 7800, 8200, 8600 , and 9200, and the time frames of 8200 in April and 9200 in June and the DOW staying above 8600. But I have not had the same conviction about 12,000 by mid September. Originally the number I had heard was 10,000 but I had such great faith I also heard and thus expected 12,000. Whether I was right or wrong in my initial post, the Lord can change His mind on His actions as shown by many, many accounts in the Bible. As of this writing, the correct number from the Lord is the DOW above 10,000 on September 16, 2009. By the way my birthday is in September and I asked the Lord for this birthday present, that by His word coming true many would be blessed. "
And now many commentators and economists are saying we have turned the corner on the bear market and are in the beginning of a bull market as I heard from the Lord on June 7, 2009.
I repeat some of my past posts to make it easier for readers but also to prophesy and speak out again to the heavenlies that these events shall come to pass.
Update as of September 16, 2009: Please see the words of the Lord to me on April 28, 2009, again on May 18 & 19, 2009, and on June 13, 2009 where He said, "Watch me, 10,000 in September 2009. A present to my children and those not yet my children. A birthday present because Catherine has asked for one, a birthday party where everyone receives presents. I will repair with air, with that which you cannot see. Rejoice because I will inflate your portfolios! Rest in My words, I am doing things you cannot see.
