- The Dow Jones Industrial Average
- The US DOLLAR
- Crude Oil
- Gold and Silver
Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you].
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
--JAMES 5.1-3
