...true Mormon difference, however, lies in what the LDS church does with that money. Most denominations spend on staff, charity and the building and maintenance of churches; leaders will invest a certain amount--in the case of the Evangelical Lutherans, $152 million--as a pension fund, usually through mutual funds or a conservative stock portfolio. The philosophy is minimalist, as Lutheran pastor Mark Moller-Gunderson explains: "Our stewardship is not such that we grow the church through business ventures...

...strike deadline. Teamsters President Ron Carey said today that union workers would remain on the job as long as the two sides continue to talk. A federal mediator restarted the negotiations last night, averting a widespread walkout. The dispute centers on the Teamsters' insistence on a multi-employer pension pool, rather than a less-secure plan covering only UPS employees. The Teamsters are also pressing management to increase pay, limit subcontracting and create more full-time jobs.

...giant pot of money. "But this is not the tail wagging the dog," insists Frank Salerno, a managing director in charge of index funds at Bankers Trust. Index funds, including the big pension money, account for only 10% of all the money invested in S&P 500 companies. It's unlikely that such a small percentage is dominating the index. The other 90%, which presumably has made reasoned judgments about value, has a lot more to say about where the S&P 500 is going. Yes, prices relative to earnings on big stocks like General Electric and Coca-Cola...
