Cool: Like Weather and Markets

Yes kiddies, it will snow tomorrow – up to … Read More

Coping: Daylight Stupid Time

The story told to me by Pappy, back before the dawn of political correctness, involved a certain Native American who was reported to have said: “What man is so foolish. He cuts a foot off the bottom of his blanket. Then he sews it to the top of his blanket and believe he has a … Read More

Aliens Visit to Discus the Y2K PPH

That’s the global Purchasing Power High of financial markets. We approach this entirely tongue in cheek (d’uh) but in the light-hearted discussion there’s a a butt-ugly bit of truth. When you look at things in just a certain way, the whole world has made less than zero REAL economic progress in the past 17-years. But … Read More

Ah, The Jobs Report

First thing I did this morning when I got up was run to the big screen in the living room and fire up FinViz to see how the futures were doing. As subscribers know, I’ve got my butt way, way, WAY long the market because by my calcumlations (sic) the Dow should begin to go … Read More

Coping: Mechanic’s Tools for the Mind

Got a fine note from warhammer Thursday morning. He’d asked me whether I knew of IONS – the Institute of Noetic Sciences – and I had to confess – was a member for a good while including while Dean Radin was there. Radin, for those not keeping up with the class, was the author of: … Read More

As I said in “Broken Web…”

We are in one hell of a pickle as a Nation. Deep State/ShadowGov is at war.   Wikileaks has revealed that the government is using the internet and smart phones and smart TVs as video watching and audio listening posts.  With all this, Donald Trump’s allegations of surveillance are gathering creds.  And looks like the gov’t … Read More

As Predicted Last Week, Market to Open Down Tuesday

Our Peoplenomics.com subscribers have to be delirious about the accuracy of our work.  Did I, or did I not tell ya’ll last week that the market should put in a short-term low today? Earlier, it was looking like the Dow would open down 20, but I reckon it will drop even more later on.  Then … Read More

Health Plan would sub Mandate for Incentives” in the left column.  What’s this?  No slam in the headline?  What’s going on here?
