Apparently this morning, at least according to my latest odd dream with non “day-residue” content, we should all be thinking about raising chickens, again. No, I have no idea why this should show up in a dream, but now that we have our two windows for the stock market to hit its final all-time highs … Read More
To know the future is to profit. Axiomatically, those who don’t profit, don’t know the future. I love long wave economics. It has taught me the fine art of patience – and being a kind of ADHD person, that’s a very good thing, indeed. This week, we begin our “stealing money from the Man” episode … Read More
I was right. Not just a little bit right…but a nice big fat “KAH-CHING” on the cash register right when I called for the market to make new highs. That might not be so “special” if I’d made the call at the bottom of the BREXIT drop. No, this was a call I very publicly … Read More
It has been a while since we had a board meeting, but Management (Elaine) and Labor (me) are about to embark on our summer rest break. Driving across the country isn’t a rest break – especially since I have everything right down to the pee stops worked out in advance in Excel. One of us … Read More
A better than even-money bet today is that the Stock Market will hit a new all-time high this week. And, as it does, we should light off the biggest short-squeeze in the history of the Universe. Or at least the East Texas Quadrant. How do I know this? Well, my friend Bullish Bob up in … Read More
Can we please set aside the national drumbeats of racism and politics? At least for a cuppa coffee… There are much more positive things to be spending our mental processor’s time-slices on. True, you can tell a fair bit about a person why “where they go” when they are not working on a problem. It … Read More
This morning we come across an old problem which is cropping up again. Call it a move by the PowersThatBe, or call it whatever else. But the facts are that more stumbling blocks to “living on the cheap” are cropping up, again. First, however, a look at a few headlines and how our Peoplenomics Oscillator … Read More
Five cops dead, half a dozen wounded at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Dallas. Snipers took out the cops. Another half-dozen wounded. There is a very simple test one can apply when trying to sort out complex questions like those raised by the assassinations overnight: When does this become domestic terrorism? “18 U.S.C. § … Read More
A number of readers have been asking me what I think of the FBI director failing to refer chargeable information to the Department of Justice. The answer, in case you are not a Peoplenomics reader, is more likely best explained with a couple of simple concepts. In order for you to really understand the events … Read More
Here comes a bunch of news: We have some hot jobs data out which we will get to in a second. But the main feature of today is some penciling of data that offers hope of a minor week-ending rally before (perhaps) finding a tradable low next week. The “double bottom” I talked with Peoplenomics … Read More
I went into town Wednesday to see my regular doc (normal blood work) and we got to talking about this and that. Afterwards, because we had touched on guns (he’s an M-4 owner, I’m an AK guy) I got to wondering if anyone had ever seen what I describe as a “Ricochet Table?” What I’m … Read More
“The Devil makes spreadsheets for idle minds…” is our theme this morning. It follows a weekend of reviewing 1930’s price data on typical goods including things like food, apparel and even cars. What I found out is rather shocking. I mean I AM one of those gold and silver bugs. My research this weekend raised … Read More
The news items follow the Coping section today. Don’t ask..just go with me on this… (eom)
