With the stock market in the biggest losing streak in decades, we are beginning to see what may be the outlines of systemic collapse filling-in around the edges.  There’s a bunch of trouble out there and a short survey of problems immediately ahead seems appropriate grist for today’s review. In order to brace yourself for … Read More

Jobs Flail, Markets Sick, George Healthy

“Roll out the whiteboard and hand me one of them markers to huff, wouldjah?” We begin with “refried markets” for breakfast. In case you slept through Thursday’s column, here’s the part you could have taken seriously, this chart: And, what did I tell you this picture of the pre-open gap Thursday might herald?  (I have … Read More

Nutzo’s & the Fed plus a “Growth Kills” Poster

The whole “investment world” is Mad as a Hatter.  Worse. I would have figured on a day when the price of Oil was up better than five percent, the Supreme Court leaking “secrets“, more money coming for war in Nukraine, not to mention Buyedem proposing the largest family-busting income tax hike since LBJ wending its … Read More

ShopTalk Sunday: Ladder Rescue – Super Booth – Manpack HF

Oh, boy. This morning’s report will be a “two cupper” – and maybe three cups – if you study the ideas, problems and pictures of today a little bit. There is so much going on around here it’s, well, amazing.  This writing less and doing more is turning out to be most agreeable. We’ll get to … Read More
