Coping: Busting “The Sim”

With a house guest this week, what has turned into a terrible chest cold, and a million other demands, I would not have expected one of my I-Max-like dreams to show up.  Just don’t have time for one right now. Apparently, dreams don’t care and operate on their own schedule, and not mine. So entered … Read More

A Course in Moneymaking: Can "Good Investing" Be Taught?

This morning we explore an outline of how I’ve come up with a trading approach that I am willing to commit some real money to.  Not that I expect to become overnight “rich” by doing so, but after almost 50-years of interviewing financial experts and a ton of personal learning, I’ve come to the conclusion … Read More

Tee-Time Tuesday

If you stand back a ways from the S&P 500 chart, like the ones you can still find on sites like Yahoo Finance, over here, you can almost make out what technical analysts call a “rounding top” formation. Sure, the rally for a short time Monday was interesting, but at my friend Robin Landry points … Read More

Coping: A Time of Great Changes for Some Websters

A spectacularly to the point column this morning.  The Death/Shooter Cycle Arrives This Week? This is not something we like to report, but there it is in data from the late www.nostracodeus.com website work that Grady has poured thousands of hours into developing and interpreting: Now, about the data and what we call “The Murder … Read More

It’s All About “Spot”

Easy morning to summarize, this one:  It’s All About Spot. Spot the state where the (crooked) republican establishment won’t let the rank and file have a say in who the next President is. Answer:  Colorado. Here’s one disgusted former republican burning his registration in protest. And read how Trump’s New Right-Hand Man Accuses Cruz Campaign … Read More

Coping: Living with “Subtle Energies”

It struck me in the shower this morning that we haven’t talked about subtle energy, for a while. What is “subtle energy?” Well, depending on who you ask, it is either: A) The medium through which prayer, intension, and to some degree hope (and luck) operates. B) It is related to astral influences – and … Read More

Investing–With IRS???

OK, what does a sailing story, negative interest rates on the horizon, and how to save money for quarterly IRS payments have in common? By the end of this morning’s report, you’ll know the answer and an interesting outlook. That is after our ChartPack and a look at the latest solar cycle predictions, which make … Read More

Markets: Adventure in the “Land of Sideways”

An early check this morning and the markets were up 86-Dow points on the Futures. If you are totally awake, you will be wondering something like “Yeah, but what about that 174 point nose bleed on Thursday?” Pay it no mind.  At least, not yet. Around here, we look at things on an aggregated basis, … Read More

Coping: How “Monetization” Explains EVERYTHING

“Everything is a Business Model.” That has been our long-standing primary principle of clear thinking around here.  It is as True today as it was the first time I mentioned it years, and years ago. My life-long chum from up in the Seattle area is visiting for a while – and as I went to … Read More

Rounds with Dr. George

Differential Diagnosis time as light returns to ‘Mercia. Yes, time for that ever-popular feature around here we call “Let’s Play Doctor!” “Alright.  I give.  What set George off on this track?” With a house guest showing up, I was glancing at some of the books on the “guest Kindle” and I happened to spy two … Read More

Coping: Niburu and What Would “End Times” Look Like?

I don’t want to imply that our discussion in Peoplenomics on Wednesday was a rehash of the old Planet X story.  Because there is definitely something more to it, than that. While it is true (near as we can tell) that occasionally Kuiper Belt objects show up and mess things up on Earth (as well … Read More

Why are [important] People “Looking Up?”

For a second time in less than six months, one of our sources is talking about looking to developments in deep space. As you will recall, a special Halloween edition of Peoplenomics pointed out that the most celebrated holiday in the world is that — Halloween. We also went into the reasons – including events … Read More

The Flavor of the Market’s Pause

Things are about to get interesting. The way it becomes interesting is running (like an old TSR program) is in background.  The news events we see swirling about this morning may be interesting, but the REAL IMPORTANT decisions about how things are going to work out are off running out of sight. What is so … Read More
