Why the sudden interest in market place.

A friend of mine asked me why I pay much attention to the market lately instead of  spending this time on working on my spiritual work.   As you all know, I see the markets being manipulated and all time high attempt to debase the currencies are going on.  Too much money printing means the the buying power of the currency is going down; which leads to inflation and hyperinflation.  So all this is going to effect normal people, who are awakening to the reality of this world.  So my feel and the guidance is to learn about the market and place them in few places so you have access to this information as much as I have.  If the normal people are being robbed off  their wealth they need to know, so they can educate themselves and take actions before it's too late.
